Why People Travel?
• Ultimately at the top of the hierarchy
there are the needs for self-
actualization or self-realization, that
is, the need to develop one’s own
potential, the need for aesthetics
stimulation, the need to create or to
build one’s own personality and
character, etc..
Maslow's hierarchy of needs
There is the desire to get away from
routine, to identify with teams and
individuals, which gives people a
sense of belonging, and to dream of
the role one would fulfill if he were
playing.
• In the fast-moving modern society
where strain and stress have become
part of an individual’s life, people
tend to have a change in environment
and activities in order to rest and
relax.
• To cater to this need, many
travel agencies specialized 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.
• To be the first to go to an exotic
place, or to go where certain types
of people go, offers some excitement
and creates an illusion of enviable
sophistication among one’s friends.
Two aspects of leisure were and
are important in promoting
tourism: the time available for
leisure, and people’s attitude
toward leisure.
• Today, in many countries, elaborate
road systems have been built so that
a person can go from border to
border or even across national
borders in the case of Europe
without being affected by a single
red light or two-way traffic on the
same roadway.
Smaller family size and an increase
of women in the labor market
have made today’s family more
affluent, which greatly promotes
the tourism industry.
With increasing affluence and
leisure, and a relative decrease in cost
of travel, the growth of the travel
industry will surely continue.
