다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study focused on motivation, constraints and safari leisure skills. The purposes of this study are: (1) to gain better understanding about the personal skill that motivate or constraints participation; (2) to provide empirical evidence about the tourist`s participation in ecological based safari leisure activities in Sunderban. The data was collected on a personal visit from Sunderban, Bangladesh. Factor analysis, and t-test for individual, group were tested using statical program SPSS 20. Analysis of data revealed that foreign tourist faced intrapersonal constraints to participate in safari activities in underdeveloped countries. When the groups were compared, t-tests analysis result revealed significantly higher intrapersonal constraints. Further, an individual t-test based on gender factor showed higher man`s leisure skill than the average women. However, the results did not fully support the constructed literature model. Safari destination in developing countries should focus on the role of infrastructure in relation to the safety. Government should work consistently on developing more favorable environment for attracting more foreigners, inexperienced and female participants.
