5.4 Motivations for Travel
Remembering that this is not a quantitative study, some numbers will be presented just to
give an idea of the profile of those surveyed. Of the 68 people interviewed, only 1 or 2
said they “do not like to travel." ( This does not mean they do not travel ).
Among the major factors that motivated travel:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Visit relatives and family
Visit relatives and family sick
To be with friends who live in other cities
To discover new places, new cultures, see new sights
To be surprised by something new, in search of "something new”
To visit a famous place or experience something unusual (snow)
Vacation for rest and family fun
To go to the beach
To go to events promoted by the entity that I represent
To travel for work
To take tests for a course

2. Another important aspect to keep in mind is that there are also those who are dependent
on another person in order to travel. This somewhat restricts the number of trips taken.
There are also those (with an intellectual disability) that are influenced by the
desire of another, in this case their travel escort.
"I like to travel, but it is difficult because it must always return the same day .
( ... ) Is that my mother does not like to travel." (Belo Horizonte – Intellectual
Disability EP)
Quotes from respondents:

I’m working. So when I go out, it's to really rest. Take my children to
have some fun, go to the beach ." (São Paulo - Visual Visual Disability EP)
