what are the main types of leisure in your opinion and how do you think they have changed?

Answer 1

Generally, spending patterns are governed by 3 Major factors. The price of consumables tops the list. Followed by hard goods such as, appliances and vehicles. The final one is durable goods such as, houses. As the price of consumables increases the expenditures for hard goods and durable goods goes down.

Leisure spending also suffers during economic down turns. It would stand to reason that as prices in the aforementioned categories goes Leisure spending goes down Taking a trip to Cancun is soon replaced by a trip to a theme park. As funds become in short supply, work replaces leisure just to maintain a life style.

Leisure is defined to me as non work, a trip to a new state, a cruise, or even a float down the river in a canoe. You have to work hard to have the luxury of leisure!
