Motivation; there are many needs and requirements of any consumer in different pace of times, at the time of hunger or thirst, he/she have strong need of food and food items and at that time consumer has no other immediate intention in his mind. It can be described that motivation is a need that is stimulate to any sufficient intensity level (Mooij, 2014). Learning; actions take major part in learning process which can easily seems in any person behavior. Most of a person’s response to drive, reinforcement, cues and stimuli is from learning only. Two different people with same learning resources can also think differently so the behavior of consumer also depends upon the ability of learning by any consumer (Otnes and Tuncay-Zayer, 2012). Perception; in different circumstances, a motivated person is always ready to act, whether the result will be in favor of the person or not, but two people with same circumstances can act differently. The reason of acting different is that we see the picture with our own eyes and our mind may also react with the stored information which we have, or we can easily say that how much the information of concerned circumstance we have, the action may differ (Saito, 2009).

Easy A describes many genuine psychological phenomena and I am going to focus on three of them; Cognitive dissonance theory, how societal and cultural norms dictate our attitudes and thoughts, and different ways of persuasion. The cognitive dissonance theory is the feeling of unease that is felt when we act in opposition to our attitudes, which causes a shift of attitude in order to be consistent with our behavior. Easy A depicts strongly the theory of cognitive dissonance on numerous occasions.
Why do we have different ideas? People live in different areas of the world. We could have different beliefs because we came from a different culture, or we could have different paths of thought, different inputs, and different outputs. Some people travel around the world to hear these different beliefs, but not everything can be true. Some beliefs would be considered irrational and ridiculous (Discourse on Methods 7).
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.
In addition, the next psychological factors, beliefs. From doing and learning, people will also obtain beliefs and attitudes. Belief is a descriptive thought that a person has about something such as iPhone. For example, if we saw many people use Apple brand things such as iPhone, they will give their own opinion about iPhone. If the opinion is good, we will believe and also use iPhone.
In fact, individual emotional and motivational aspects should be considered [17]. Motivation is defined as a desire to make an attempt in order to perform duties and responsibilities and to use individual skills [18]. Academic motivation refers to behaviors that lead to learning and improvement [19]. It includes the tendency to perform well and to spontaneously evaluate one's own performance. Experts have devided motivation into two main groups, namely intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
Introduction At the start of this course, I had no idea what to expect. This is due to the fact that marketing is a field that offers a combination of so many different disciplines such as art, psychology, and statistics. I encounter marketing on a daily basis but have strangely enough not reflected too much about it. Nevertheless, it is a very interesting subject, which deals with promoting and selling services and products.
Nowadays hospitality and tourism industry is one of the main industry in this world. A lot of people need a place to escape from their routines or even just to stay overnight as they having a business trip to other places. We call these people as customer or guest. Human mobility from one place to another , both in the country and from and abroad is very high. Human mobility is not only related to business activities but also recretional activities.
Consumer is one who consumes the goods & services product. The aim of marketing is to meet and satisfy the Consumer needs and wants. The modern marketing concept makes customers the centre stage of organisation efforts. The focus, within the marketing concepts is to reach target and largest customer’s sets ball rolling for analysing each of the conditions of the target market1. Consumer behaviour can be defined as “the decision making process and physical activity involved in acquiring, evaluating, using and disposing of goods and services”.
The nature and perception by this group of people will mainly determine the destinations chosen by them and the activities to have. Next is the business operator or supplier which providing services and goods to the tourist which required by the tourists.
The above description do set the scene part for this essay on the tourist behaviour and it is the main initial point for the final description of the topic which is to be shaped further. To completely understand the tourist behaviour, it requires searching out the individual experiences and the motivations of travelling. There are many of the researches and studies one in past by the great authors and researchers on the individual experiences and their motivations of travelling. The tourist behaviour in recent past has been studied with great efforts and many of the conclusions had been drawn regarding the crucial factors which do have an impact on the decision making of the tourist’s. There is a great risk involved in the process of destinations decision making.
Tourism can be considered one of the most significant economic and social phenomena of the twentieth and twenty-first century. The evolving of the tourist’s behavior has triggered a series of changes in the way of operating the tourism businesses. From traditional travel agencies, hotels and airlines up to the online tour operators. All tour operators have had to adapt to the changes of the individual as a traveler and this has led to continuous development of strategies by the agents.
