TRAVEL: -FACTORS ,PURPOSES & TYPES.pptx

TRAVEL
• movement of people between distant geographical locations.
• can be done by foot, bicycle, automobile, train, boat, bus, airplane, ship or other
means, with or without luggage, and can be one way or round trip.
• The act of moving outside one's home community for business or pleasure but
not for commuting or traveling to or from usual places.
• movement from one place to another.
• describe how objects are unable to stay stagnant.
Example
• nothing can travel at the speed of light, except for light; or sound waves, which
can travel through air and water. This lesson, however, will focus on the activity of
human travel, and why people need and want to go from place to place.

FACTORS THAT MOTIVATE
PEOPLE TO TRAVEL

FACTORS THAT MOTIVATE PEOPLE TO TRAVEL
• To spend holidays leisurely
• To visit friends and relatives
• To attend business and professional engagements
• To get health treatment
• To undertake religious pilgrimages
• Any other personal motives

PURPOSES OF TRAVEL
• travel is to allow humans to be social. Unless one lives together with all of one's
family and friends, one will need to travel to meet them or accommodate their
family and friends who travel to see them. Most people have family and friends
that live in different cities and different countries, so travel is necessary in order
to gather together.
• importance of traveling is for the economy, especially for the industries of
hospitality and tourism. Unless one is traveling on foot, traveling will cost money,
Example: gas, transportation, as well as food and accommodation.
• Traveling can not only be pleasurable for the traveller, it can help support various
business, like restaurants, airports, and hotels, that one uses along the way.

• travel is only a short trip to a nearby city for a concert, the local economy can
benefit from the visitors that spend money on concert tickets.
• travel can then support the local venue and workers, provide business for local
transportation systems like taxis, and boost sales at local restaurants and
souvenir stores.
• Unfortunately, when the economy is not good, the industries of tourism and
hospitality are likely to suffer. When people feel that they have less money, they
will be less likely to spend money on travel. This can lead to unemployment of
workers and businesses in the tourism and hospitality sector. Job losses and
bankruptcy will add to further downturn of the economy.

1. Adventure Travel:
Adventure travel is a type of tourism, involving exploration or travel with a
certain degree of risk (real or perceived), and which may require special skills and
physical exertion.
In the United States, adventure tourism has grown in recent decades as tourists
seek out-of-the-ordinary or "roads less traveled" vacations, but lack of a clear
operational definition has hampered measurement of market size and growth.
adventure travel may be any tourist activity that includes physical activity, a
cultural exchange, and connection with outdoor activities and nature.

Adventure tourists may have the motivation to achieve mental states characterized as
rush or flow, resulting from stepping outside their comfort zone.
This may be from experiencing culture shock or by performing acts requiring significant
effort and involve some degree of risk, real or perceived, or physical danger. This may
include activities such as mountaineering, trekking, bungee jumping, mountain biking,
cycling, canoeing, scuba diving, rafting, kayaking, zip-lining, paragliding, hiking,
exploring, Geocaching, canyoneering, sandboarding, caving and rock climbing. Some
obscure forms of adventure travel include disaster and ghetto tourism.[4] Other rising
forms of adventure travel include social and jungle tourism.
Access to inexpensive consumer technology, with respect to Global Positioning
Systems, flashpacking, social networking and photography, have increased the
worldwide interest in adventure travel.
The interest in independent adventure travel has also increased as more specialist
travel websites emerge offering previously niche locations and sports.
Adventure sports tourism has traditionally been dominated by men. Although women's
participation has grown, the gender gap is still pronounced in terms of quantitative
engagement in these forms of sport tourism. Yet, in competitive adventure sport
tourism, the success rate of females is currently higher than that of males

2. Backpack Travel:
Backpacking is a classic form of travel that probably familiar with already.
 Stripped-back and simple by design, you pack your things into a backpack, hoist
it onto your shoulders, and hit the road (often for an extended period of
time).This is my go-to travelling style for a number of reasons.
For the most-part, though, it’s because backpacking goes hand in hand with the
next option on this list

3. Budget Travel:
Budget travellers explore the world and have adventures on a shoestring.
In fact, in my experience, budget adventures are often far more memorable
simply because you don’t have much cash to splash!
After all, there’s a positive correlation between money and comfort.
So you’re often forced out of your comfort zone when you don’t have much to
spend!
You swap private rooms with giant dorm-rooms full of fellow travellers. You trade
fancy tours for self-guided experiences. You break the occasional rule. You walk
more. You eat the local street food. And so on.
In other words, budget travel can be more immersive, social, and experience-
rich.
Of the different types of travel on this list, business travel’s probably one of the
best known.

4. Business Travel:
As the name suggests, business travel involves travelling for work and/or
business-related purposes.
You could be giving a pitch, attending a conference, meeting foreign investors, or
sourcing new products, etc.
I have no personal experience with this type of travelling, but I’ve heard through
the grapevine that it’s less luxurious than it sounds.
Although the first few trips are novel and exciting, they can grow more tedious
over time. Likewise, business travel may be more tiring and constrictive than
other types.

5. Couple Travel:
Example
• The lonely “I” becomes the heart-warming “we” as you hit the road with your
partner!
• Experiencing the joy of travel with someone you love is always very special.
• You make shared, long-lasting memories. You also avoid the loneliness that can
hinder a solo traveller’s experience. And you share the financial burden too!
• …Just make sure your relationship’s solid beforehand. There’s nothing quite like
the trials of travel to expose and exaggerate weaknesses in it.

6. Cruise Travel:
• If hitting the high seas on a luxury cruise-liner sounds like your idea of a good
time, then cruise travel could be perfect.
• I’ve never been on one, but (aside from the environmental issues involved), they
seem like a lot of fun.
• You’ll get to visit some outstanding parts of the world, enjoy endless
entertainment on-board the boat, and step foot back on dry land with a bucketful
of new memories.
•
• Some kinds of trips never have to end! That’s exactly what you get as a digital
nomad.

7. Digital Nomad Travel:
• Digital nomads are people who earn a living online and use the ensuing flexibility
to travel the world, working as they go.
• Having been one for a while now, I can vouch for how awesome this lifestyle is.
• It’s the ultimate freedom. No boss, no commute. You come and go as you please,
doing things on your own terms.

8. Domestic Travel:
• Domestic travel is a huge, overarching type of travel that simply involves
travelling within your home country.
• You’re not venturing half-way around the world here.
• Instead, you might be getting on a bus to explore your local area, flying to a
different county/state/region, or taking a road trip to a neighbouring city.

9. Event Travel:
• Love the idea of following your favourite band around the world to watch them
perform? How about going overseas to the Olympics, or watch a sports
tournament?
• These are all examples of event travel.
• You could be travelling for an array of reasons, but the primary intention is to
attend a specific event.
• Some types of travellers end up making a home in the countries to which they
travel.

10. Expat Travel:
• Short for expatriate, this travel type involves venturing outside your native
country to create a new home overseas.
• So, as a Brit, I’d become a “British expat” if I were move anywhere outside the
UK.
• I can’t say I’ve ever done this (not long-term, anyway), yet know many people
who have! The reasons for moving country vary dramatically.
• From job opportunities to seeking a new start, there are no shortage of possible
incentives to create a new home elsewhere.
• It’s obviously a major decision, though, so you’d want to seriously weigh up the
pros and cons before making any commitments!

11. Family Travel:
Ways of travelling don’t get much more commonplace than family travel.
Whether you’re going on a multi-continent trip with your children or taking a
week-long vacation with the in-laws, you’re engaging in it!
According to Wikipedia, the definition of “family” seems quite inclusive too.
So, you could be going abroad as a newly married couple or a grandmother with
their grandchild and still be partaking in family travel.

12. Flash packing Travel:
Similar to “glamping” versus camping, flashpacking involves upmarket
backpacking.
You’re hitting the road with a backpack on your back but a bit more money in
your pocket than traditional backpack travellers!
You’d indulge in more expensive activities and accommodation as a result.
To put it another way, flashpacking could be up your street if you like the sound
of backpacking, just without the “budget” element.

Flashpacking’s one of those different forms of travel to enjoy when you have a bit
more money in your pocket.

13. Food Travel:
Like the sound of travelling the world with the primary intention of sampling
local delicacies, going to food markets, and dining out at every opportunity?
Well, that’s exactly what you’d be doing as a food traveller!
The ideal travel type for foodies, gastronomy’s at the forefront of any trip you
take.

14. Full-Time Travel:
The worst part of travelling usually comes right at the end of your trip:
Coming home.
However, you never have to go through it if you start travelling full-time! Full-
time travel might sound like pure fantasy, but it’s a reality for a growing number
of people nowadays. How’s it possible?
Usually (unless you’re sitting on a mass of cash) by becoming a digital nomad.
Get a remote job of some kind and your travels never have to stop.

15. Gap Year Travel:
Taking a gap year is another way of travelling that most people will already know
heard about.
You take a 12 months out from your work/studies to both explore and do
something totally new. This may include volunteering overseas or doing an
internship.
However, the term “gap year” is something of a misnomer. You’d be surprised
how many people go away for 12 months and come back 3+ years later!
Likewise, although many people associate gap years with a younger demographic
(such as students), anybody can go on one at any time in their life.
Don’t want to go travelling solo? This next way to travel could be a better bet…

16. Group Travel:
The clue’s in the name!
Group travel is, as you’d expect, when you go travelling with more than just
yourself for company.
It might be organized, in a tour (more on this later), or simply with friends and/or
family members on a “DIY” adventure.
Either way, it’s a way to enjoy the beauty of new places without the rigmarole of
fending for yourself the entire time. With loved ones around for support, you can
share the experience and create unforgettable memories.

17. Heritage Travel:
Example
I have a whole post on heritage tourism, so be sure to check that out if you want
to learn more about this particular type of travel.
In short, though, it’s all about exploring new places to see the sites of historical
interest there. Good examples include going to Egypt for the pyramids, to Rome
for the Colosseum, or to Peru for Machu Picchu.
Travel doesn’t get much more exciting for history buffs and enthusiasts!

18. International Travel:
International travel’s the ying to domestic travel’s yang.
The second overarching form of travel, this time you’re leaving your native
country to explore overseas!
As for the advantages involved, international travellers enjoy the many benefits
of spending time in exotic foreign destinations. Unlike domestic travellers,
though, their passion for going abroad comes with environmental issues and
distance from home.
Need a break from everyday life?
Leisure travel’s another travelling style to look into.

19. Leisure Travel:
Leisure travel’s another significant, overarching travel type.
It’s also one that most people partake in (whether they realise it or not)
Example
In essence, you’re a leisure traveller whenever you go somewhere for a nice
break from everyday life. So, the vacation you took last summer?
The camping trip you’re going on next weekend? …And so on and so forth.

20. Lifestyle Travel:
Lifestyle travel isn’t well-defined online.
Spend enough time reading through travel blogs and articles, though, and it
shouldn’t be too long before you come across the term!
Here’s my simple understanding of it:
You take the practice of travelling and turn it into, well…a lifestyle.
That means travelling long-term or full-time, turning down a settled life in favour
of an itinerant one, and going on adventures at every opportunity.
Travel isn’t restricted to a trip or two each year. It becomes part of your identity;
part of what you do.

21. Luxury Travel:
If budget backpacking’s at one end of the “travel spectrum”, luxury travel’s at the
other!
You travel in style, staying in fancy accommodation and doing fancy things.
The extent of luxury definitely varies. Look it up on Instagram, though, and you
can expect to see infinity pools and fine-dining; chauffeurs and foie-gras
(…washed down with champagne, of course).
It’s also expensive! So make sure you start saving those pennies if you want a
dose of luxury in your next trip.
Travel styles don’t get much fancier (or more expensive) than luxury travel.

22. Medical Travel:
Need an operation or some other form of medical treatment that’s unavailable
(or unaffordable) where you’re from?
Try your hand at medical travel and go overseas instead!
In certain countries, you can receive 5* treatment at a fraction of the price. In
others, you can access life-saving support that your native country simply doesn’t
offer.

23. Road Trip Travel:
Road trips are a classic form of travelling that we all know and love.
Wait for a sunny weekend, pile into the car with some close friends, wind down
the windows, turn up the tunes, and hit the road for a fun-filled few days (with
these trivia games for company).

24. RTW Travel:
Short for “round the world” travel, this one often goes hand in hand with a gap
year, budget travel, and backpacking.
An antidote to a sedentary life, you pack your bags and take to the skies,
stopping off at countries as you go; gradually making your way around the world.
The complete opposite to weekend getaways and short vacations, RTW travel
requires both time and money. However, it’s also guaranteed to deliver incredible
memories and lifetime friendships.
Of the different ways of travelling on this list, I definitely recommend giving the
next one a go…

25. Slow Travel:
Slow travel’s as much of a philosophy as it is a type of travelling. The idea’s
simple:
Take your time as you explore a new place!
Go slowly instead of rushing from one attraction to the next. Be present,
attentive, and receptive to your environment. Don’t worry about schedules and
deadlines.
The goal isn’t to tick things off a bucket list. It’s to immerse yourself in whatever
you’re doing, wherever you’re doing it.

26. Solo Travel:
the all-popular alternative to group and family travel, travelling solo involves
venturing out into the world all by yourself.
the pros
unbridled control over your time and schedule; a fantastic chance to become
more self-confident, reliant, and comfortable in your own skin. you’ll be outside
your comfort zone more often than not, which is a recipe for personal
development.
the cons
loneliness! there’s also nobody to hold your hand, provide a shoulder to cry on,
help you make decisions, or experience the adventure with.

27. Tours Travel:
If you’ve got the cash, like the idea of meeting new people, and want the
convenience of having someone create your itinerary and show you around a
destination, then travel tours would be a perfect choice.
Alongside the expense, you’ll have less control over your schedule.
Oh, and there’s always the chance of finding someone else in the group
annoying, or getting a poor-quality guide. Paying extra for a private tour could be
worth considering in these situations.
Few types of vacations are as rewarding as volunteer travel.

28. Volunteer Travel:
Not everybody wants to go overseas simply to explore somewhere new, see the
sights, and experience a new culture.
Some want to give back and make a difference in the local community too.
That’s where volunteer travel comes into play.
A different way to travel, you find organizations and projects in a particular
country and apply to get involved with their work. You often have to pay for the
privilege as well.

29. Weekend Travel:
Lack the time, cash, or inclination to spend weeks, months, or years on the road?
Example
Well, a weekend getaway could be one of the best types of vacations for you.
Weekend travel’s simply that: you go away for the weekend! Maybe you take a
city break, or go on camping trip, or visit relatives in a neighbouring town.
Whatever you do, you have 48+ hours or so in your chosen destination.
Of course, you can always take the Friday and/or Monday off work (or wait for a
public holiday) if you want a slightly longer break.

30. Wellness Travel:
wellness travel is all about R & R.You’re travelling with one thing in mind:
Your physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing! Maybe you’re spending a
weekend at the spa.
Perhaps you’re going on a yoga retreat. Or maybe you want to spend a week
playing golf with your buddies.
In truth, what you do matters less than the goal behind it. If you spend time away
with the express purpose of enhancing your wellbeing, then you’re partaking in
wellness travel.
