“…Meanwhile, the difference lays in the destination and hot spring factors. However, the five dimensions of the current study are similar but their items are different from previous studies in various tourism contexts conducted by [17], [13], and [21]. Thus, the hot springs destination managers should not adopt the underlying motivation factors that are different from their core businesses.…”

“…Push factors denote inherent stimuli and wants (e.g., yearning for away from routine and recreation) that lead to a desire to travel. Attractive qualities of a location are known as pull factors that attract a person in making a decision to travel and include tangible properties and the emergence of tourists' perceptions and expectations about the destination [13,17]. With the emergence of a better understanding of travel motivation from tourists, it can certainly facilitate the tourism business sector in making market segmentation, scarce tourism resources can be allocated by tourism marketers efficiently [12,18].…”

The purpose of this study is to determine the dimensions or factors of tourists' motivation to hot springs tourism. It is driven by a research gap that past studies on hot springs tourism mainly focus on the relationship between motivation variables with various indicators and other behavioral constructs. They have not fully acknowledged the fundamental factors forming tourists' motivation to hot springs. A selfadministered survey was handed out and 375 usable data were gathered from respondents who holiday at hot springs in Ciater and Cipanas. To generate new underlying dimensions of hot springs tourist motivation an exploratory factor analysis was used. The result shows three factors of push motivation and two factors of pull motivation, namely; Leisure, Health, Kinship, Outdoor, and Entertain respectively. Next, to check that the the reliability and validity of the new dimensions were correct, a confirmatory factor analysis was conducted. The result confirms the dimensionality of the hot springs tourists' motivation construct. This study adds to the body of knowledge on hot spring tourists' motivation and its dimensions.

Global tourism is based on the movement of people from their usual environment, which makes interaction between people possible. It creates a mutual impact on tourists and the host community by bringing together people of different races, languages, and beliefs. Global tourism leads to a beneficial economic impact on the host country and it also increases the socio-cultural exchange between the host and tourist countries. In this respect, the current paper presents the analysis of tourism as a socio-cultural phenomenon. It presents a critical analysis of earlier findings on the evolution of tourism as a concept and sheds light on cultural and social factors leading to tourism in its present state as well as its social and cultural impacts, positive and negative. Furthermore identifies some sociological and cultural factors that shape the characteristics of tourists and highlights the role of socio-cultural motivations of tourists.

“…From the tourism perspective, many studies have focused on the identity-related motivations in niche markets, such as backpacker tourism [10], museum visits [11], and lifestyle travelling [12]. However, further empirical research is needed to explore how identity-related motivations affect broader tourism decisions and outcomes [13]. We argue that research on landscape preferences in mountain tourism has important implications in mountain tourism development.…”

Mountain area is one of the most important modern tourist attractions, and unique mountain landscapes are highly appealing to millennials. Millennials post their travel photos and comments on social media, and these media messages can positively influence other millennials’ travel motivations. To fully understand the attraction of mountain tourist destinations to millennials, this study analyzed their landscape preferences using images posted on social media. As a case study, we analyzed the landscape resources in Western Sichuan Plateau Mountain Areas (WSPMA). We found that differences in genders, modes of transportation, and travel patterns of the millennials influenced their preferences for mountain landscapes. Our results broaden the current knowledge on mountain tourism from the perspective of millennials through social media data. Moreover, studying the landscape resources in WSPMA can facilitate the analysis of regional advantages. This will ultimately enhance tourism publicity and integrate various resources for tourism management and planning in more targeted and attractive ways.
