Touristsin general are moved towards search of experiences that provide escape,
freedom and pleasure (Wilson & Little, 2005). The relationship between travel
and experience is the key point of why women choose to travel alone.
The goal is not the journey per se, but the involvement and the acquired
competences. Solo women travelers seek adventure, social interaction,
education and self-understanding (Bond, 1997). Even though each woman has her own
reasons to travel alone, it is possible to recognize some common motivations. And
themain motivations that lead women to choose to travel alone are the need to get
out of their comfort zone to develop a sense of autonomy and
individuality (Wilson &Little, 2008), and the challenge and personal growth
(Chiang & Jongaratnam, 2006; Wilson & Little, 2005, 2008; McNamara &
Prideaux, 2010). Wilson and Harris (2006), after analyzing several
testimonies of female travelers, introduce the concept of meaningful
travel. The journey translates into the search for something much more
valuable than relaxation and leisure. These women want to evaluate they own
values, develop their identities and acquire knowledge. Another relevant reason
it’s the importance of socialization for these tourists. The human development
factor, previously stated is reliable with the ties created, the
interaction with other travelers and the autochthonous (Jordan & Gibson, 2005;
Wilson & Little, 2005; Wilson & Harris, 2006). Despite the significant
sociological aspects, motivations related with culture and learning are
also mentioned in tourism literature. The woman solo traveler desires the
escape of the daily life, looking for diverse cultural contexts other than those
to which she is used to.

This conceptual framework starts as a DIY solo traveler, wherein we researchers

will look into the perspective of women about DIY solo travel. In this study,
motivation is one of the important factors since it enables us to comprehend where
motivation originates from, why it evolves, what factors boost and decrease it,
what features of it can be modified and what cannot. Safety and security is another
factor that is needed for this, to provide quality in tourism, safety and security
are essential. A tourism destination's ability to offer guests a safe and secure
environment is more important to its success than any other economic activity. And
both of these factors will lead us to the issues and challenges about this study
that will give us informations to conduct a analysis of the travel experiences.

If you will going to teach me to write Background of the Study, what are its
content?
- The greatest usage of a background section is to present pertinent or crucial
information that is important or necessary to understanding the main body of your
proposal. Perhaps some recorded advancements made room for your research hypotheses
or questions. Perhaps there was some debate about the scope of your subfield or
crucial terms. It is possible that you are combining a few orders and need to
specify which components of each control you're including and excluding.
