Resumo:
Este artigo relata uma pesquisa global com viajantes millennials entre 18 e 35 anos e analisa as motivações em todas as regiões e países do mundo. Uma versão adaptada da Leisure Motivations Scale foi submetida a análise fatorial, revelando quatro dimensões de motivação: Relaxamento, Exploração, Desafio e Socialização. Todos os Millennials tendem a ver a exploração como o mais importante, mas os viajantes asiáticos, em particular, enfatizam o relaxamento e o desafio. Verificou-se também que as motivações variam de acordo com a idade e o destino, indicando que as motivações não são apenas individuais, mas também relacionadas ao contexto. Concluímos que a geração do milênio não é uma geração global coesa em termos de motivações de viagem.
Resumo Inglês:
This paper reports on a global survey of Millennial travellers aged 18-35 and analyses motivations across world regions and countries. An adapted version of the Leisure Motivations Scale was subjected to factor analysis, revealing four dimensions of motivation: Relaxation, Exploring, Challenge and Socialising. All Millennials tend to see exploring as most important, but Asian travellers in particular emphasise both relaxation and challenge. Motivations were also found to vary according to age and destination, indicating that motivations are not just individual, but also context-related. We conclude that Millennials are not a coherent global generation in terms of travel motivations.

Este artículo informa sobre una encuesta global de viajeros de la generación del milenio de entre 18 y 35 años y analiza las motivaciones en todas las regiones y países del mundo. Una versión adaptada de la Escala de Motivaciones de Ocio fue sometida a un análisis factorial, que reveló cuatro dimensiones de la motivación: Relajación, Exploración, Desafío y Socialización. Todos los millennials tienden a ver la exploración como la más importante, pero los viajeros asiáticos en particular enfatizan tanto la relajación como el desafío. También se encontró que las motivaciones varían según la edad y el destino, lo que indica que las motivaciones no son solo individuales, sino también relacionadas con el contexto. Concluimos que la generación del milenio no es una generación global cohesionada en términos de motivaciones de viaje.
