- Abstract
Among Turkish citizens taking international or national trips, there are probably independent travellers who are not using travel intermediaries for their trips, preparing their own travel plans and having flexible travel programs. But, independent travel market is a topic that is nearly unexplored by national tourism literature. In this research it was tried to determine travel motivations of Turkish independent travellers. 163 Turkish independent travellers have participated to the survey. Findings indicate that travel motivations of Turkish independent travellers can be examined under six domains as; exploring other cultures, socialization, having experience, performing abilities, personal development and relaxation. In the study, it was also found that travel motivations differ significantly according to; age, income and travel related characteristics of travellers.
