Follow a tourist's journey, find out what makes travel possible, and explain how destinations change.

• The tourism system

  A tourism system connects the place a trip starts, the route taken and the destination, along with the services the traveller uses.

• Push and pull factors

  Push factors create a desire to leave the usual environment; pull factors attract visitors to a particular place.

• Motivation and ability to travel

  Motivation gives a reason to travel. Money, time and affordable services help make the trip possible.

• Transport and tourism mobility

  Mobility is the practical ease of reaching and moving around places; improved connections can change travel patterns.

• The tourism area life cycle

  The life-cycle model helps explain destination change. After stagnation, decline and rejuvenation are possible paths, not certain outcomes.

• The Dependable-Venturer spectrum

  Most travellers mix Dependable and Venturer preferences. Their choices can also change with the trip.
