We are living in an age of affluences.
The significances of tourism as a social phenomenon have been increasing in these days.
Geneally speaking, most of the geographical approaches to the tourism and its related concepts are destitute of the epistemological and methodological aspects, which are indispensible to the rational explanations in an academic discipline.
This study is purposed to understand how we are able to explain the tourism behaviours with respect to some of the tourism motivations.
From the humanistic viewpoints the tourist resort as the tourism object, is the place towards which subjective meanings of intention are directed.
A tourist would make tour travel in order to grasp such meanings of the places, and the sense of place would motivate tour travel.
In the place where we are living, there have been carved by some deep meanings of our lived experiences, and this meanings of each subjective life world is represented in the forms of public symbols, fields of care, etc.
The toruism object as a centred point of intended meanings which are constituted through their own living experiences, must be understood in the context of their own subjectivities.
These meanings are usually reflected in the concepts of geopiety and topophilia, the senses given to some places where we have any attachment or piety.
If there were no subjective meaning related with it, there could not exist any objectivity.
The historical-cultural phenomena such as tourims behaviour, economic activity, day-by-day living, interpersonal contacts, and so on, are a part of fields related with complex human beings.
As such, so there are subjective intentions in the deep layer of these objects, and there are implicit subjectivities behind any explicit onjectivity as scientific rationale with tourism behaviour.
As Tuan, Y. F. has noted, to see is to know, to sense, to understand, and to catch the meanings of the humanized place, where the involved human beings had carved their meanings of that time.
It is the meaning of place that we must capture in order to understand what make the tourists behave in a certain way.
