- Abstract
Backpacking is an essential and rising market in the tourism industry. Other than mass tourists, it is known that backpackers have an extraordinary, intense experience during their vacations, immerse themselves to places/destinations, lose their sense of time, have a high concentration and sense of joy and curiosity. Although the effects of flow experience which is one of the primary motivations for backpackers on escape experience is discussed theoretically in the literature, it is not measured. The present study aims to measure the relationship between flow and escape experiences. Survey technique is used to gather data and the data is gathered from various online platforms which backpackers are members of. Among the obtained data, 231 questionnaires were analyzed. The theoretical model which focused on the flow and escape experiences is tested using structural equation modelling, and the model had good fitting indices. As a result of the study, flow which had enjoyment/curiosity, focused attention, distortion of time dimensions, affected the escape experience positively.
