These forces related to determine the selection of travel. Seeking force is finding the recreational opportunities for reward oneself on psychological level, and the escaping force is break out from the routine and stressful environment. Hence, a four dimensions of the Iso-Ahola’s model had presented because it believed that people who seek for leisure or tourist activities are motivated by these forces. They are seeking for personal intrinsic rewards and/or interpersonal intrinsic rewards, escape from the personal environment and/or the interpersonal environment. It is similar to the anomie and ego-enhancement motives, which were suggested by Dann (1977). A few years later, Mannell and Iso-Ahola (1987) had further developed on two motivation forces as they indicated that more should be represent in escape-oriented, instead of a seeking-oriented activity under most circumstances for most people on tourism. There is simply that the people who take the vacation motivated by escape force is to get away from their pressure life and a few participants felt leisure activities or seeking intrinsic rewards are less important to them. There are some research studies on the Asian students travel motivation. The most important motivation resulted in the knowledge factors, which were the seeking force. The other high rated factors are followed by leisure and escape personal-social and physical pressure (Wang & Walker, 2010; Kim & Jogaratnam, 2003). These showed the use of two motivation forces. There are summaries from the previous studies on travel motivation by McIntosh and Goeldner (1984). They observed that the motivation can sort into four categories, which are physical motivators, cultural motivators, interpersonal motivators and status and prestige motivators. Physical motivators are the motivation that connected to a
In July 1999, due to the poverty they were going through, Yanira, Max, and Alirio, made the hard decision of leaving all they had and their families, to seek a better life, and a better future for their families. They first had to come up with the money, to pay the person to get through Guatemala and Mexico illegally (El Coyote). On Monday the 5th, they took off on their journey, leaving El Salvador, in just a couple of hours. They spent 3 days in a hotel in Guatemala city, waiting to cross over to Mexico.

I decided to select the two documents, “A Tour of the Lowell Mills” and “A Dialogue on Female Labor” for the reason being that women were obligated to work at home taking care of their children rather than actually having the opportunity to join the work force. However, once it became the norm for them to have a job it was shown to be under some rough circumstances. These two documents ultimately contradicted what I was always taught in school, instead of the awful surroundings I believed they lived through they explained how good they were housed and paid. The theme that connects them both is the idea of the women were given the opportunity to work and essentially enjoying their workplace.
The most important factor in why someone chooses to do something is how that action will affect their personal feelings because humans value their feelings more than others '. Connie, from "Abuela Invents the Zero" by Judith Ortiz-Cofer, decided to put her feelings in front of Abuela 's when Connie chose not to help when Abuela could not find her way back to the pew in the church. When Connie noticed that Abuela was lost, she decided not to help her because, "I just know that on Monday my friends, and my enemies, in the barrio will have a lot of senile -grandmother jokes to tell in front of me" (Ortiz-Cofer para 14). This shows that Connie put her feelings before Abuela because she did not want to be teased by her friends. If Connie put others ' feelings in front of hers, she would have stood up and helped Abuela no matter how much she would have been teased because Abuela is family.
The travel market had expanded from the male elite to include male and female travellers from the “middling sort” and as result, a profusion of travel related letters were written to private correspondents. A large number of these letters were collected, collated and entered onto a the Grand Tour Database (www.grandtour.amdigital.co.uk.) together with published collations and travel guides that formed a genre of factual and entertaining travelogues and guides related guides which were widely circulated for those about to travel and for those interested in, but unable to afford foreign travel. Both printed and personal correspondence allowed its reader to extend their understanding of places, cultures and social structures. (Goodrich, A. Chapter 17pp24-25)

IDENTIFY AND RESEARCH A TOURISM ATTRACTION Introduction Tourism has experienced continued growth and extensive diversification and competition on the last decades, becoming one of the fastest growing economic sectors in the world and by consequence, one of the main income sources for many developing countries. “Every time we travel we are part of a global movement that has the power to drive inclusive development, to create jobs and to build the sustainable societies we want for our future,” says the actual UNWTO¹ Secretary General, Taleb Rifai. “This movement also contributes to build mutual understanding and to safeguard our shared natural and cultural heritage,” he completes. A sustainable and responsible approach to tourism means that neither the natural environment nor the socio-cultural organisation of the host communities would be compromised by the arrival of tourists.
Travelling helps us to know more about different lifestyles, cultures, cuisines and festivals. Visiting new sights and exploring new places increases our knowledge and widens our global perspective. We get to learn so many things about different cultures and customs. It makes us open minded and gives us a new viewpoint about life and it also changes some of our bad habits.
Rural development is as important as urban development. Alleviating the hardships of the rural people is fundamental to rural development. Efforts at developing the rural areas are aimed at creating industries and employment opportunities. Any initiative towards this end would be welcomed with open arms in Nepal. This would also reduce the population density in the cities.
Most people dream about sudden trips to exotic lands or planned voyages to previously familiar locations, but what is it that drives us to seek to leave our home? Why is it that we travel, even if we are completely comfortable in the country we live in? Pico Iyer, in his travel essay titled ‘Why We Travel’ states different reasons why he believes we seek the unknown. One of the points he claims that we travel for the “self and anonymity”. As he expands on this idea, it is clear to the reader that Iyer believes one of the reasons we travel is to be able to be “free of caste and job and standing” in order to better comprehend ourselves.
