Study Notes

Travel Motivators

Travel motivators can be divided into four classes: physical, cultural, interpersonal, and status and prestige motivators.

The Push/Pull Model

The push/pull model of travel motivation divides travel motivations into two factors: "push" (personal needs) and "pull" (attractions).
This model is closely related to Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory.

Travel Motivations

Examples of travel motivations include:
- Escape or change
- Travel for health, sports, social contact, status and prestige, education, personal values, cultural experience, shopping, and natural beauty
- These motivations fit into Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

Travel is a means to satisfy a need and want.
To be motivated to satisfy a need, an objective must be present.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory suggests that lower-level needs should be satisfied before higher-level needs.

Understanding Traveler Motivations

Recognizing traveler motivations allows marketers to provide better products and services tailored to their needs.
Accepting Maslow's idea that lower-level needs should be satisfied before higher-level needs means products and services, including vacations, would be regarded as necessities rather than luxuries.

Types of Travel Motivations

The Need for Escape or Change

The greatest reason for travel is the desire to escape from daily routine and familiar surroundings.

Cultural Motivators

Cultural motivators include the desire to learn about other countries' music, art, folklore, dances, paintings, and religion.

Interpersonal Motivators

Interpersonal motivators pertain to the desire to meet new people, friends, or relatives, and escape from routine, family, and neighbors.

Status and Prestige Motivators

Status and prestige motivators concern ego needs and personal development, including trips related to business, conventions, study, and pursuit of hobbies and education.

Travel as a Means to Satisfy a Need and Want

Travel is a means to satisfy one's needs and wants.
Tourists take vacations to fulfill various needs and wants, not just to relax and have fun.

Relationship of Needs, Wants, and Motives

The difference between a need and a want is awareness.
Marketing involves converting needs into wants by making individuals aware of their need deficiencies, accompanied by motivation.
Motivation occurs when an individual wants to satisfy a need, requiring an objective or goal to be present.
