Abstract

This study investigated the ethnic identity of Italo-Australians after a travel experience to Italy. Results suggest that identity changes depended on the individual's pre-travel ethnic identity and generation level. Factors affecting ethnic identification were Italian culture, the national image of Italians and aspects of interpersonal behaviour. Findings were interpreted in relation to culture contact theory. The implications of these results for the tourist and hospitality industries were discussed.
