Probably
the most common reason for travel is associated with our physical
well-being. Another important motivator is connected with culture
and curiosity which is expressed by the desire to know about other
places or countries, and to search for all kinds of experiences. The
need for belonging is manifested in the desire to visit friends or
relatives, to meet new people and make new friendships. In order to
increase their professional knowledge, they are concerned with their
own personal development. In
Maslow¡¯s opinion, there is a hierarchy of universal wants and needs
found in every human being. There are the needs for self-actualization
of self- realization, that is, the need to develop one¡¯s own potential,
the need for aesthetic stimulation, the need to create or to build
one¡¯s own personality and character, etc.. Then tourism turns out
to be a good solution, since it provides ample chances to satisfy
most of the needs, and the needs, in turn, constitute major motivational
factors for people to travel and go on vacation. Yes,
it can. People tend to have a change in environment and activities
in order to rest and relax. Many
travel agencies specialize in certain ethnic areas and people, providing
specialized tours to return and visit ¡°the old country¡± where some
tourists may pick up a genealogical line or find their roots.
The
vast network of roads and air connections and the mass production
of the car at a price many people can afford have led to the development
of a tourist industry unmatched in history.
