Abstract
Motivation for leisure travel has been an equivocal aspect of the study of leisure travel. Psychological theory has been useful providing conceptions of tourism motivation based on drives and needs, however, operational problems occur using attitude constructs which have varying degrees of predictive ability. This paper offers an alternative approach to the problems of motivation, taking a phenomenological approach to the issues, using ethno-methodological techniques in a logical, sociologically grounded analysis of conversational interview data.
