Tourism motivation and people's needs

Motivation comes from need. As we all know, according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, human needs can be divided into five levels.

◎ Physiological needs: food, drinking water, oxygen, sleep, etc.

◎ Security requirements: public security, stability, order, protection, etc.

◎ Social needs: also known as "love needs", group sense of belonging, emotional connection between people, love and being loved, etc.

◎ Respect needs: self-esteem, self-confidence, hope for status, prestige, respect, trust and high praise from others;

◎ Self-realization needs: give full play to your potential, show your talents, and become an accomplished person.

Explain tourism motivation according to Maslow's theory;

Physiological needs: can not be the driving force for people to travel.

Security needs: not enough to explain people's motivation to travel.

Social demand: there is a certain connection with the emergence of tourism motivation.

Need to be respected: For many people, meeting the need to be respected has really become an important driving factor to drive them to travel or vacation.

The need of self-realization: there is no reliable research evidence whether people travel to meet the need of self-realization; This demand can only stimulate a few potential tourists at best.
