1.6.1 TourismAccording to Pearce (1988), tourism is the relationship and phenomena arising outof the journeys and temporary stays ofpeople travelling primarily for leisure andrecreation purposes.This definition does not include travelling for business purposes in tourism. It alsodoes not specify any time limits.For the purpose ofthis study, tourism refers to all travel, for whatever purpose, thatresults in one or more nights being spent away from home - as defined in theTourism White Paper of 1996.1.6.2 ConstraintsThe Australian concise Oxford dictionary (1992) defines a constraint as a limitationon motion or action.In this study, tourism constraint refers to a limitation onmovement from one's place ofresidence to another area for one or more nights.,The area that is covered in this study is the Umlazi township which is situated about25 kilometres south-west ofthe city ofDurban. This area is divided into 25 sections(named alphabetically from A to Z with AA, BB and CC and without I, 0, X, andY) and has a population of about 299 275 as estimated in the KwaZulu-NatalProvincial Statistics ofl995.The study limits itself only to those constraints thataffect outbound tourism, that is, it concentrates on the residents ofUmlazi townshipas potential tourists and not as hosts.4
1.7 LIMITATIO SThe study is conducted under certain limitations. These are:a. limited finance to carry out the study;b. limited time available for research; andc. limited literature that is written on the social aspects oftourism as mostliterature concentrates on the economic aspects oftourism.1.8 RESEARCH METHODOLOGYThe method that will be used in conducting this research is discussed to cover thesample design, the research instrument and the method ofanalysis.1.8.1 Sample designThe method ofrandom sampling is used to obtain a representative sample of thestudy population. The respondents comprise of residents ofall the 25 sections ofthe Umlazi township. The sample size is estimated at about 200 respondents.The respondents are stratified by age, personal income, gender, and marital status,the kind ofwork they do, and the number oftheir dependants. These six variableswere chosen because they are all important in determining whether a person is ableto engage in tourism or not.5.,
