Exploring International Tourists Travel Motivation by Pull Factors an Empirical Study on Malaysia
1st International Digital Conference on Modern Business Management and Social Science, 2018
The purpose of this paper is to develop a scale to determine key dimensions that influence the choices of international tourists’ destinations. This paper provides significant contribution as tourism has become Malaysia’s third largest source of foreign exchange income, and accounted for 7% of Malaysia’s economy. A mixed methodology approach via the use of phenomenological interviews and self-administered questionnaire were used. Structure equation modeling (SEM) revealed seven dimensions influencing tourists’ choices which are food, safety, people, place, price, hygiene and language. Bootstrapping analysis showed that satisfaction mediated the relationship between food, place & likelihood of future visit. Similarly, word-of –mouth mediated the relationship between satisfaction and the likelihood of future visits.
This paper examines the role of key socio-demographic attributes and trip characteristics in travel motivations of domestic tourists to island destinations. A total of 1780 useful survey responses were collected over a period of 6 months via an assisted survey. Analysis using independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA revealed that only the "travel companionship status" in respondents' trip characteristics significantly influences the travel motivations of domestic tourists. Particularly, family and friends were found to be a major influence on the travel motivations of domestic tourists. The study concludes that the travel motivations of domestic tourists are more influenced by who individuals choose to travel with, therefore reflecting the issue of local conditions. The findings support Gilbert's (1991, Progress in tourism, recreation and hospitality management. London: Belhaven) theory of family influence in travel decisions. However, it adds that where the population is relatively young, friends can also be a major influence. Theoretical and managerial implications are then discussed.

The generation of international travellers is no longer considered a barrier to tourists to visit places of interest during leisure time. Travelling is about learning, knowledge, and thinking channels. However, most tourists will not travel long distances efficiently, contributing to the lack of interest in international tourist visits. This study aims to identify the motivational factors driving international tourists to travel to Penang based on travel motivation, characteristics, and sociodemographic. The three objectives prompted the investigation. First, to identify the demographic characteristics of international tourists to Penang. Second, to explain the motivation to want to 'seek knowledge and innovation' is the main thrust that drives travel generation. Third, to determine the motivation of the main attractions that can attract international tourists. A set of questionnaires was used to obtain the quantitative data. The questionnaire was distributed and a total of ...
The objectives of this research were to determine if motivational differences existed between tourists from the same country visiting two different geographical destinations and across those from two different countries visiting the same destination. The analysis of findings was based upon 'pull' and 'push' motivations of 1872 British and German tourists visiting Mallorca and Turkey in the summer of 1998. A series of cross-tabulations were conducted to test for differences between sub-samples of respondents and self-reported motivations. Content analysis was employed to process qualitative data. Factor analysis and a series of independent ttests were used to evaluate quantitative data. Findings demonstrated that some tourist motives differed between nationalities and place visited. r

The Factors of Selecting Malaysia as Tourist Destination
Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences, 2015
Tourism is an emerging economic sector for Malaysia. The purpose of this study is an attempt to understand the factors that attract tourists to visit Melaka State of Malaysia. The primary data were collected through questionnaire survey on 735 tourists who visited the state of Melaka, Malaysia. This study used descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modelling (SEM) in order to analyze and draw the inferences. Model fit was initially tested using the overall fit and regression paths. Then the hypothesized model was analysed and modified based on the results of the analysis to find a better fit of the data and to more adequately describe the relationships between the factors. The study found that several economic, environmental, cultural and community factors have positive significant influence in attracting tourists to Melaka.
This research paper aimed to identify travel motivation by push and pull factors that affected decision making of international tourists in selecting Thailand as their destination choice. A total of 200 international tourists who traveled to Thailand during January and February, 2014 were used as the sample in this study. A questionnaire was employed as a tool in collecting the data, conducted in Bangkok. The list consisted of 30 attributes representing both psychological factors as "push-based factors" and destination factors as "pull-based factors". Mean and standard deviation were used in order to find the top ten travel motives that were important determinants in the respondents' decision making process to select Thailand as their destination choice. The finding revealed the top ten travel motivations influencing international tourists to select Thailand as their destination choice included [i] getting experience in foreign land; [ii] Thai food; [iii] learning new culture; [iv] relaxing in foreign land; [v] wanting to learn new things; [vi] being interested in Thai culture, and traditional markets; [vii] escaping from same daily life; [viii] enjoying activities; [ix] adventure; and [x] good weather.
