Study Notes
Travel Motivators
- Travel motivators can be categorized into four classes: physical, cultural, interpersonal, and status/prestige.
- Physical motivators are driven by physical changes, such as seeking adventure or improving health.
- Cultural motivators are rooted in the desire to learn about a destination's history, people, and culture.
- Interpersonal motivators are driven by personal desires, like relaxation, escape, or a change of scenery.
- Status and prestige motivators cater to ego needs and personal development, including business trips, conventions, education, and pursuing hobbies.
- Travel can enhance recognition, knowledge, and reputation.
Travel as a Means to Satisfy Needs and Wants
- Travel can be motivated by needs which are essential for survival and cannot be lived without.
- Wants on the other hand, are not essential for survival and people can choose to forgo them.
Push/Pull Model
- The push/pull model explains the factors that motivate people to travel.
- Push factors are internal forces or personal needs that drive a person to travel, such as a desire for adventure or to escape routine.
- Pull factors are external forces or attractions that draw people to specific destinations, such as beautiful landscapes, cultural events, or historical sites.
- Many travel decisions are influenced by both push and pull factors.
