“…The visitors finally claimed their experience was a satisfactory one and that they would revisit and recommend the site to others and this is in line with Said and Maryono (2018) that factors which influence visitors to visit a destination are the attitude towards the destination, the opinion from relatives and friends, experience from previous travelling. Lai et al (2010) also stated that the level of satisfaction causes the intention to come back to the destination.…”

People are driven to take up various actions due to motivation. The study examined the motivation and perception of visitors as well as examining the future behavioural intentions of the visitors at Lekki Conservation Centre (LCC), Lagos state, Nigeria. The study employed self-administered questionnaire to obtain information from the visitors. Random sampling method was used to select a total of 200 visitors involved in the survey. Data obtained were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 21) and results were presented descriptively and inferentially. Results obtained indicated that attractions such as canopy walkway, games served as pullattractions for the visitors to the site while adventure, sightseeing, relaxation and rest were highly ranked as push-motivations for the visitors to the site. The visitors also perceived the site experience as a satisfactory one while affirming they would revisit and recommend the site to other. Chi square analysis revealed a significant relationship between visitors’ motivation and perception (p=0.000). The site posed minimal challenges for visitation and as such is a good place to visit as it affords visitors an entertaining and satisfactory experience. Motivation study is important for tourist sites to improve their competitiveness in the market as it facilitates improvement of visitors’ satisfaction.

“…However, to date, there is no general agreement about the concept of motivation, and scholars still view the two concepts of motivation as one (Cohen et al, 2014). The push-pull is a simple and intuitive approach that is most commonly applied for explaining motivations to profile visitors (Said & Maryono, 2018).…”

“…This process is influenced by several factors such as involvement, perception, expectation, and emotion (Battour et al, 2017;Pestana et al, 2019;Said & Maryono, 2018). Most studies that discuss theories of visitors' motivations were either conceptual or limited in scope and sample size (Battour et al, 2017;Fernández-Morales et al, 2016;Juhanda, 2019;McCabe, 2001;Said & Maryono, 2018). Researchers in tourism have also been adopting the motivation theories with four structural factors, including personal seeking, intrapersonal seeking, personal escape, and intrapersonal escape.…”

Enriching visitors' experiences at religious, historical sites (RHS) is getting more attention than before. This research aims to identify and investigate the influential factors enriching the visitors' experience at such a site, using Al-Khandaq battle site as the case study. Forty-two respondents were interviewed at the site and NVivo 12 pro software was used to code and analyze the responses. The study explored tourist motivations, expectations, and perceptions as the guiding constructs in detailed qualitative analysis. Foremost, learning, reliving the experience of the events of the battle, and Islamic values were the primary motivation to the historic site visitation. Next, findings reveal the extent to which tourists' expectations can be met through the availability of an open museum, accessibility, and the spatial and experiential simulation of the ancient Al-Khandaq path. Lastly, the need to reconstruct the historical site in spatial planning and experiential dimensions formed the main thrust of the element of visitors' perception. Based on the foregoing, the study recommends that Al-Khandaq site should be developed traditionally as an open museum, displaying both religious and historical elements of the battle with emphasis on the visual connection to the Prophet's mosque

Global tourism is based on the movement of people from their usual environment, which makes interaction between people possible. It creates a mutual impact on tourists and the host community by bringing together people of different races, languages, and beliefs. Global tourism leads to a beneficial economic impact on the host country and it also increases the socio-cultural exchange between the host and tourist countries. In this respect, the current paper presents the analysis of tourism as a socio-cultural phenomenon. It presents a critical analysis of earlier findings on the evolution of tourism as a concept and sheds light on cultural and social factors leading to tourism in its present state as well as its social and cultural impacts, positive and negative. Furthermore identifies some sociological and cultural factors that shape the characteristics of tourists and highlights the role of socio-cultural motivations of tourists.
