本研究探討高雄市五處旅遊服務中心（以下簡稱旅服中心）的旅客行為，研究目的主要有三: 一為歸納旅客行為類別，以及確認主要行為，二為探討各旅服中心旅客行為相同或相異處，三為藉由旅客與旅服人員所發現的問題，提供實質建議。本研究資料來源以旅遊服務中心之每日工作日誌，以普查的方式進行內容分析。研究結果發現旅客行為共可歸類為七大類別:基本需求、住宿、景點與地點、交通、服務設施、餐飲與活動類別，且以「景點與地點」為最主要的類別。再者，以「服務設施」的類別而言，旗津、愛河與蓮池潭等旅服中心，旅客最常提問的問題同樣是「自行車的租借」；但是，高鐵新左營站與台鐵高雄火車站的旅服中心，則為「長庚醫院」。除此之外，以「基本需求」的類別而言，高鐵新左營站與台鐵高雄火車站的旅服中心，旅客最常提問的問題則同樣以「置物櫃」的諮詢行為為主；但是，愛河與蓮池潭的旅服中心，則同樣以「化妝室」的諮詢行為為主。最後研究發現，外國背包客主要出現在台鐵高雄火車站的旅服中心，因此建議台鐵高雄火車站的旅服人員，必須具備良好的外語溝通能力，方能勝任並提供優質的諮詢服務品質。本研究結果或許可以提高旅服中心服務效率，並為職前教育訓練之參考。
