Using a qualitative approach, combining interviews (n = 33) and field observations (n = 3) administered to Vietnamese package tourists, the study identified ten common forms of social interaction among tourists and eight common forms between tourists and tour guides. The majority of tourist-to-tourist interactions were found to be social-oriented, while most tourist-to-tour guide interactions were service-oriented. The study also found that factors influencing these interactions included tour guide performance, tourist personality, tourist needs, and situational factors on tours.
