Introduction.
Travelers always have a motivation or more to travel, whether they travel as in groups or individuals. What motivates tourists is different from each tourist to another, due to age, sex and so on. Because of that, It’s not easy to set all the motivations in one theory. Tourist motivations became an important topic and study to research in among authors. Many authors have different thoughts and different views about it. It is useful for the developers and planers to conceder what motivates tourists and their behavior is, to provide them with a better services and needs. In this essay I will explain and discus about some theories that are mostly popular and used, using a case study of “Tourist Motivation and Activities, A Case Study of Nha Trang, Vietnam, by Phan Thị Kim Liên”.
Tourists seem to need something familiar to them in the destination they visit, something to remind them of their home. At the same time they look for a different environment from what they used to live in, specially if they travel for a short term. This means that tourists are able to adapt with new environment and willing to do so. At the same time they still need something to either remind them ,or just for the idea of having something they lived with daily, for example type of food they used to eat in the breakfast. On the other hand, some authors focused in their writings on the needs, and what the tourists actually chose a destination for. Some of them came up with theories, and explained their ideas based on these theories. Some of these theories became famous, and used by others after that. One of the Main basic simple theories is Maslow’s hierarchy, 1943. Another one is the push and pull factors by Dann, 1981.
