Every time we travel somewhere, there is something that motivates us to travel and some expectations to be fulfilled during the journey. We see holiday as a way to get away from everyday life, enjoy time in a place we have chosen, explore our inner selves, broaden the view of life, experience new things and adventures and maybe feel also freer than in everyday life. These motivations and expectations are also guiding us to create WOKItainment programs to help the travelers to have their dream holiday.

Motivations

Physical motivations – Finding ways to relax by resting or with wellness and sport activities

Psychological motivations – Seeking for new experiences and self-finding and escape from everyday life to the holiday dream

Interpersonal motivations – Making and meeting friends, getting back to the roots and finding the nature again

Cultural motivations – Getting to know new places and cultures

Status and prestige motivations – Learning and education and expressing own personality and interest

Expectations

Sun & Snow – Travelling to south or north there are some expectations about the climate; extreme arctic conditions or hot sunny days are both providing great base for active or relaxing holiday

Nature & Urban surrounding – Untouched nature and picturesque views and/or urban facilities and services are all making different kind of image of our holiday

Resting & Activities – In our holidays we want to recharge our batteries in the way that fits for us; meditation, peaceful surrounding or active programs are some ways to do that

Comfort & Simplicity – Luxury, basic comfort or simple "back to the roots conditions" conditions give us different experiences. For somebody living in luxury hotel with full service is only way to travel and somebody else is looking for a wilderness camp conditions.

Contrast & Familiarity – Seek for a chance at least in our holiday is a big element when we are choosing our holiday destination. We want to experience something new without making changes to our normal life. How big the changes we expect to experience in our holiday depend on our characters.

Freedom & Rules – In our holiday we allow us more freedom compared to everyday life. However nowadays, for example environment friendly behavior, is becoming to be more and more important to many tourist, They also expect themselves, other people and companies to follow these rules.

Contact & Fun – In our holiday we looking for to spend time and have time with our families or with old or new friends. Offering surroundings and programs to do something together is a great way to accomplish that.


What kind of programs and activities hotel hould offer depends on the clientele of the hotel and what kind of expectations and motivations they have.  When you are travelling with children or with your college friends or business partners you are probably looking for different kind of programs and activities. Lifestyle of the travelers is also one very important factor for creating indoor & outdoor programs and activities for hotel animation concept.
