Travel Personality Quiz

Travel Personality Quiz

The Trip Doctor Travel Personality Quiz is designed to help you understand what type of traveler you are. The quiz is composed of twelve questions that access the underlying traits that lead to your travel decisions. There are five potential travel personalities that fall along a continuum. On one end lies travelers that prefer to have everything taken care of for them – this type of traveler likely prefers things like guided tours, cruises, and all-inclusive resorts and is interested in well established, safe  travel destinations. On the other end of the continuum likes travelers who want to be the first to visit a destination – these travelers likely prefer destinations with little formal tourism development and are likely to travel across the globe to find them.

Your travel personality will likely fit you very closely, but there may be things in the description that you may think, “that isn’t me!” That is because these descriptions are what we call psychographic archetypes. Psychographics are attitudes and interests, and for the tourism marketer these are perhaps the most valuable forms of classification there are. An archetype is essentially a perfect example of a type of person. Of course, in real life, people never fit perfectly into one category or another – especially because we are constantly changing. So – remember as you read about your traveler personalities that there may be examples in there that don’t fit you perfectly.
