Analyzing the Demand for Tourist Travel
why people travel
a desire to escape from a mundane environment;
the pursuit of relaxation and recuperation functions;
an opportunity for play;
the strengthening of family bonds;
prestige, since different destinations can enable one to gain
social enhancement amongst peers;
social interaction;
educational opportunities;
wish fulfillment;
shopping.
four types of tourist travelers
The organized mass tourist on a package holiday; they
are highly organized and their contact with the host
community in a destination is minimal;
The individual mass tourist, who uses similar facilities to
the organized mass tourist but also desires to visit other
sights not covered on organized tours in the destination;
The explorers, who arrange their travel independently
and who wish to experience the social and cultural
lifestyle of the destination;
The drifter, who does not seek any contact with other
tourists or their accommodation, seeking to live with the
host community
