Abstract

The importance of the destination market for the destination area has attracted the interest of researchers in understanding the motivation of local tourists who prefer to travel across the island and cities in Indonesia rather than abroad. The success of the marketing objectives should be guided by an in-depth analysis of the motivation of the traveller and for that reason the study adopts a model based on push and pull factors as a conceptual framework. As little information has been documented about travel motivations to Salatiga, this study attempts to identify motivation factors of the local tourist. Because different tourist markets show different behaviour domains this may have important marketing implications for countries especially in terms of inspection of motives in market segmentation, designing promotional programs and making decisions about destinations. Analysis of 21 informants' answers using qualitative research methods and case study research design, it is expected that Salatiga can become more attractive as a destination for local tourists.
