Heavy overseas travelers who were recent 12 months overseas travel-experienced and travel overseas at least 2-3 times per year single and married men and women were selected for 3 focus group interviews. The following results were obtained : 1) heavy overseas traveler's seven motivations were drawn as relax, experience · fun, self-development · self-actualization, relationship · communication, escape, nostelgia and addiction. Specifically, the proposed motivation in this study, 'addiction' can be explained as similar meaning or developed one with motivation from precedent study 'Like traveling itself', and it means travel is settled as a habit that heavy travelers can not take away in their lives because they are addicted to it. 2) The drawn motivation elements were not applied to TCL (Travel Career Ladder) theory but some results could be applied to TCP (Travel Career Pattern).
