Typology of travel motivation factors

Abstract

The author discusses basic ideas related to tourist motivation and the theoretical aspect of travel motivation factors. They are presented from a new perspective, in a three-part structure. As part of the concept, three groups of factors have been distinguished: 1) motivators, which, if present, evoke willingness or inclination to initiate a tourist activity; 2) hygiene factors— if absent, they evoke reluctance to travel; 3) de-motivators—if present, they cause negative attitude towards tourist activity. Areas of their impact on touristic value of a destination (place visited by tourists) are totally different, although they occur simultaneously in a given tourist region (destination). That is why this concept serves as a methodological directive, which suggests that the scope of the study should be expanded to include de-motivating factors related to the investigated phenomenon.
