RT Journal Article T1 Who infuences family tourism decisions? Incorporating children’s perceptions A1 Rojas-de-Gracia, María Mercedes K1 Percepción social en niños K1 Pareja K1 Familia AB This article continues the work of Rojas-de-Gracia et al. (2019) in which they question the appropriateness of relying on a single partner, male or female, to identify the decision-maker in tourism decisions. That study concluded that there is no generalconsensus among the members of the couple. As a solution, they proposed including the child as an impartial observer. This research tests that suggestion and shows that children’s perceptions difer from those of their parents, considering tourism decisions mostly autonomous and mainly dominated by the mother, contrary to parents’ perceptions of joint decision making. The practical implications of this fnding are discussed.
