ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to understand why people travel alone and what is the essential meaning of travel experiences for solitary travellers in their 20s and 30s. To achieve this aim, qualitative research was conducted using a phenomenological approach. A total of 13 participants were interviewed. The interviews were analyzed according to the Colaizzi method. From this analysis, 34 core meanings, and 8 themes emerged. Four categories were identified as follows: 1) ‘encountering an authentic self’, 2) ‘feeling a sense of community with other travelers’, 3) ‘experiencing place authenticity’, 4) ‘Gaining a meaning for living and traveling’. 8 themes were present as follows: 1) ‘looking back on my daily life’, 2) ‘feeling one’s own growth through traveling’, 3) ‘feeling the pleasure of meeting and being with other travelers’, 4) ‘feeling authentic happiness by sharing with others’, 5) ‘feeling communion with local residents’, 6) ‘feeling assimilated in the destination’, 7) ‘escaping regular daily life’, and 8)‘moving back into everyday life by healing’. Findings indicate that what tourists seek in a tourism destination are the things they lose in their regular living and the pursuit of existential authenticity should be understood as an important tourist motivation. Tourism grants a moment of insight to tourists and contributes to changing their authentic life when they return to their regular daily life.
