This chapter explores the wide range of motivations that have influenced the development of tourist travel from ancient times to today. These include specific types of tourist activity, from health tourism to education and rest and relaxation. Within these activities, there are underlying motivations which include a search for authenticity, for knowledge, status, self-transformation/understanding, escape from constraints and routines of home and social conformity. The chapter also looks briefly at the possibilities for tourism in the future, challenged by pandemics, environmental and political changes and yet underpinned by seemingly innate desire to travel and the marketing of a powerful global industry.","PeriodicalId":320799,"journal":{"name":"Why Travel?","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115095245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It argues we have a travel instinct and that travel has an intrinsic value. It summarizes the approaches of the diverse chapters in the book, highlighting that perspectives from across the arts and sciences show the need to place travel at the heart of our future thinking. The chapter argues that we must create places and policies that better satisfy our travel motivations and improve the quality of our travel and, thereby, our lives – without wreaking environmental harm on our planet.","PeriodicalId":320799,"journal":{"name":"Why Travel?","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123002380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kuznets","doi":"10.2307/j.ctv1rxdqqg.15","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/j.ctv1rxdqqg.15","url":null,"abstract":"This chapter demonstrates the core role of travel within religious narratives, foundation stories and understandings of life and death. It also shows that travel is at the heart of many religious practices, specifically pilgrimage, missionary travel, ‘holy war’, and flight from religious persecution. Pilgrimage has long been strongly engrained in world religions, enabling the pilgrim to be spiritually transformed and to become closer to their God/gods, both at the destination and also through the process of the journey. Missionary travel enables the missionary to serve their God, ‘save souls’ and achieve salvation. Religious war can for some serve similar spiritual purposes to pilgrimage and missionary travel although of course creates great suffering. On an associated theme, religious persecution has been throughout history and is still a driver of travel, along with much misery.","PeriodicalId":320799,"journal":{"name":"Why Travel?","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131607362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The chapter shows that our bipedal mode of travel is related to the evolution of other key human features such as large brains, dexterous hands and speech: in other words that our mode of travel is deeply linked to what makes us human. The author argues that, related to this, our sense of curiosity has driven humans to travel the world and beyond. The chapter also examines the physiological and neurological mechanisms involved in travel, and how these are linked to the way we perceive the world as well as the crucial importance of travel for mental and physical health.","PeriodicalId":320799,"journal":{"name":"Why Travel?","volume":"271 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124388492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What motivations underpin the journeys we make? And how can we make decisions that improve our travel experiences? Arguing that the desire to move is a purpose in itself, this book brings together leading experts to provide insights from multiple viewpoints across the sciences, arts and humanities. Together, they examine key travel motivations, including the importance of travel for human well-being, as well as how this can reconciled with challenges such as reducing our carbon footprint, adapting new mobility technologies, and improving the quality of our journeys. The book shows how our travel choices are shaped by a wide range of social, physical, psychological and cultural factors, which have profound implications for the design of future transport policies. Offering thought-provoking and practical new perspectives, this fascinating book will be essential for all those who have ever wondered why we travel and how it relates to our fundamental needs.","PeriodicalId":320799,"journal":{"name":"Why Travel?","volume":"497 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124439849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Examples in the chapter include ancient myths The Epic of Gilgamesh and The Odyssey, travel writing from medieval pilgrim Ibn Battuta and 17th century diplomat Sir Thomas Palmer, and ethnographies of traditional societies and modern tourism. Human travel and hospitality involve cultural rituals whose differences and continuities offer interesting insights into why we travel in the way we do. Travel features as a core part of many myths of identity and stories of origin, which provide meaning to cultures and societies. Professor Selwyn demonstrates how important travel is for people to understand their place in the world, and discover their own identities, whether individual, group or national.","PeriodicalId":320799,"journal":{"name":"Why Travel?","volume":"305 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120983690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
