The regional experience seeker concept, which has contributed to regional development from outside local areas, has been attracting attention in recent years. The depth of mutual relations has been defined broadly by the presence and absence, respectively, of visits and activities. However, the ease of involvement might vary depending on the content of the activity and the person performing it. Creation of more seekers is fundamentally important to understand this part of the population. This study classified regional experience seeker activities into four types based on their involvement in the activities. Results demonstrate the following: 1) those engaging in activities that contribute more to a community are more likely to visit the community; also, 2) differences were found in the existence of activities of each type among the eight groups, which consisted of 12 principal component axes considering individual lifestyles.
