• No simple explaination about why people take vacation, thus it is a process of understanding the psychology of tourist based upon the W’s and H questions – Who, What, Where, When, Why and How.
• Consequently, a range of researches and approaches may provide conflicting answers given that the behavior of tourists in pre, during and post travel are varied.
• Different types of tourist can have different characteristic.
