Multinomial logit destination choice models are developed and the following hypotheses are examined: (a) time of day affects destination choice behavior, (b) the duration of stay at the destination affects destination choice, and (c) home location affects non-home-based destination choice. The statistical results offer strong evidence in support of the hypotheses.
