(B) tourism motivation and personal needs

(4) the need to be respected. Refers to the need to be respected in social activities and gain certain social status, honor and power. When a person is at home, everything needs to be taken care of by himself, while as a tourist, someone will serve you all the time and you can enjoy the feeling of being respected.
(5) the need for self-realization. Give full play to the individual's greatest ability and realize the needs of ideals and ambitions. Some people go out to travel and inspect in order to realize their self-ambition or seek self-development, and get information or inspiration from them in order to seek development opportunities. Such as study tours and conference tours; Such as driving or hiking around the country, the world, crossing a continent, etc., to show their achievements, realize a kind of self-worth and attract people's attention.
The latter three belong to psychological and spiritual needs.
The higher the level of needs, the fewer people will be reached. Therefore, it is difficult to analyze the motives of modern popular tourists only by Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory.
2. Other needs
1) The need to explore the new and seek the different. Everyone has curiosity.
2) The need to escape the tense reality and adjust the rhythm of body and mind. In modern society, with fierce competition and accelerating pace of life, people's spirit is in a state of high tension all the year round; Problems such as crowd crowding, traffic noise and air pollution caused by industrialization and urbanization are becoming more and more serious. Therefore, people generally hope to temporarily avoid such an environment and spend some time in a place with elegant environment and fresh air, so as to adjust their physical and mental rhythm, recover fatigue and relax their nerves.
Tourism motivation may come from one of the above needs, or from two or more of them.
