Abstract

[Extract] It is daunting for many tourism researchers to open a large psychology textbook, even an introductory one. The topics and concepts tumble across the pages: perception, motivation, learning, cognition, emotion, memory, personality, intelligence, decision making, attitudes, and group behaviour (Fumham, 2008; Martin et al., 20 l3). They are all enticing chapters. Most seem applicable to those who study facets of either the travel experience of tourists or the actions and thoughts of those who organise and manage that travel.
