Abstract
This study aimed at 1) studying types of tourists who stayed at Wang-Yang Homestay and 2) investigating tourists’ behaviour who chose to stay at Wang-Yang Homestay. This paper was a survey by recoding tourists’ statistics who traveled to Wang-Yang. 30 tourists who traveled to Wang-Yang was requested to fill in the open-ended questionnaire based on convenience sampling. This questionnaire was validated by the experts in the field. Descriptive statistics was used for data analysis. The findings revealed that there were three main types of tourists visiting Wang-Yang. The first group was an education tourist or a field study held by the organization. The second was a tourist who worked as a public relations staff, TV host and MC, presses and online media. The last group was an independent tourist. In terms of staying at Wang-Yang Homestay, it showed that the tourists who worked in the field of media had the highest rate of staying. This may be that they needed to collect data and take photos to be publicised on their platforms. Another type of tourist found was the education tourist or the field study held by the organizations with the limitations of inadequate accommodation. This can imply that, for the sustainable tourism in WangYang, the ample accommodation should be improved to accommodate the large groups of touris
