Enjoying the local natural scenery and culture is to upgrade the quality of life. Because the retired teachers always have a higher level of education background and stable pensions, it is very suitable for them to engage in long stay recreational activities. The purpose of this study is to understand the current status, leisure constraints and related decision-making factor of engaging long stay for the retired teachers. And, we also study the difference between personal background variables in participating long stay. This study used questionnaire to collect data and analyze by SPSS and Expert Choice software. The results of the study are shown as follows: （1）19.1 percent of retired teachers has ever engaged in the domestic long stay travel. Also, 75% of them have a desire to do the travel. 7 days travel is more appropriate for them. The favorite sites they want to go are Hualien, Taitung and Nantou in order. The best affordable expenditure of travel is between 7,500 and 10,000 dollars for them to spend. The group of long stay they prefer is 5-8 persons. The most convenient source of the information is internet. （2）The leisure constraints are external natural factors, recreational resources, personal factors and external human factors. The top three leisure constraints are costs, the lack of natural landscape, worrying about the care of family. There is a significant difference between overall leisure constraints and background variables of gender, whether they are retired or not. （3） The decision-making weighting factors are the external environment, a long stay resource. The external environmental includes social security, natural landscape and climate. The long stay resource has tour planning, accommodation and equipment, cost, location, leisure recreational facilities and travel agencies. The results of this study can be used as government policy reference to promote long stay industry and also can provide domestic tourisms to design long stay tour plan.
