There are two main factors that motivate people to travel: internal factors like fulfilling psychological or social needs, and external factors like attractions at the destination. When choosing a destination, tourists consider originality and uniqueness, popularity on social media, and cost and distance. Understanding travel motivation helps tourism industries develop attractive products and destinations that meet travelers' needs and increase business. For example, developing rural areas into tourism villages provides benefits like improved livelihoods and economic opportunities for local communities.

1. Travel Motivation is the factors that underlie people to travel.
These are two
factors that underlie people to travel : a. Internal Factor are the factors that come from within (social-psychological needs) to fulfil their basic needs as an human beings (longings to rest, recreation, escape from their daily activities etc).
b. External Factor are the factors that come from outside, this is related to the attraction (what do they have to sell) and able to pull tourist to visit.
2. The Reason of Tourist to Choose a Destination to Visit
Base on my experiences, these are
many reasons why does tourist choose one destination and not others. The first one, because the destination is original and unique. This is the main reason, if we would like to visit one destination, we will choose the original and unique attration, that means the destination has something that other destination doesn’t has. The second one is popularity. If one destination is famous, we will think that the destination is wothy to visit and for other reason is because we would like to show to our circle that we have been visiting the famous destination, especially on social media. The last but not least are the cost and the distance. Those things are really important as a consideration to visit a destination. How much would it cost, how far the distance from our hometown or our place.
3. The Travel Motivation Gives Benefit in Developing a Tourism Attraction
The study of trevel motivation is powerful instrument in the hands of tourism. The tourism destination industry has been filling up the tourist needs. To response about what does motivate tourist to travel, companies that sell travel products can make decisions regarding the best offer to provide the best product for tourists. Proper market sectors and products will increase business of tourism destination industry. One of the example is Desa Wisata “Tourism Village”. The purpose Desa Wisata is to fulfil urban people needs (escaping from their daily activities, relaxing, nature adventure, etc). It is really an huge benefit to develop village become tourism attraction. The activities in the tourism village involve all levels of society and able to give benefit such things as raising people’s lives around them, increasing community knowledge, massive development and improving the economy.
