How far do people travel? Why?

People's travel belongs to the self-realization of consumer demand. Because the need for self-realization refers to the need for individuals to develop upwards and make full use of their talents, qualities and abilities. Maslow's demand is the highest level in the hierarchy, which belongs to the growth demand and appears after the basic needs are met.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, an American psychologist, put forward in the book Motivation Theory of 1943 that human needs can be divided into five levels, namely, physiological needs, security needs, social needs (including love and being loved, belonging and leadership), respect needs and self-realization needs. The demand for self-realization is the highest level of human needs.

Correlation hypothesis

Maslow's hierarchy of needs assumes that people are motivated to meet one or more important needs in their lives. In addition, the strength of any particular demand depends on its position in the demand hierarchy and the degree to which it and all other lower-level needs are satisfied. Maslow's theory holds that the process of motivation is dynamic, gradual and causal.

In this process, a set of ever-changing "important" needs control people's behavior, and this hierarchical relationship is not the same for everyone. This is especially true for middle-level needs such as social needs and respect needs, and their ranking order varies from person to person. But Maslow also clearly pointed out that people always give priority to meeting their own physiological needs, and self-realization needs are the most difficult to meet.
