Elements of psychology in tourism

The psychology of tourism refers to social psychology, more precisely, to that part of it that studies the relationship of people during recreation, explores the motivations associated with tourist migrations and services. It can be said that applied psychology tourism studies behavior in relation to the economic, social, labor and cultural aspects of tourism activities. One of the most important factors in the work of any travel agency is understanding what customers want. You should understand the reason that prompted them to choose this or that tour, their expectations from the trip. In other words, understand the whole range of motives. A. Maslow's theory of human needs motivations is the most popular. In his works “Motives and Personality” and “The Theory of Human Motivations”, a pyramid of needs is substantiated, at the base of which are the most fundamental, and at the top - personal. Hierarchies of needs are outlined by him as follows:

• All human needs can be grouped into five large groups in the form of a pyramid. Once one of the needs is satisfied, another takes its place. higher needs most difficult to satisfy;
• - in order for motivation to satisfy a particular need to arise, it is necessary to satisfy a need located in a lower rank. When a need arises, the body automatically tries to satisfy it by creating adequate behavior; Satisfaction of needs is a very important factor and determines behavior.

Consider the needs of a person according to A. Maslow:

• 1) physiological primary needs have highest value for a person. When these needs are largely satisfied, the base of the pyramid can generate motivations to satisfy needs at higher levels;
• 2) security needs have as their goal the search for protection against danger or any threat. They can be physical (accidents) or economic (economic instability or unemployment);
• 3) the needs of relationships, or social, become important when a person is confident in his well-being and security. It becomes important for a person to be accepted by other people, to be a member of a group, to achieve recognition;
• 4) psychological needs - respect or self-love - relate to the status of communication with others, the desire for knowledge and success. At this level of values, there is trust and recognition from others. Satisfying this need, the individual strives for self-affirmation and independence;
• 5) the needs of self-expression and development associated with internal state man, are at the top of the pyramid. These are the needs of creating and realizing one's own "I". Implementation requires significant internal potential and high cultural level. According to Maslow, all steps of this pyramid must be completed gradually. Also, a person can simultaneously be on several levels at the same time, but this does not mean satisfaction in Everyday life needs by 100% when switching to each the highest level. A. Maslow believes that needs are satisfied (on average): physiological - by 80%, safety - by 70%, social - by 50%, psychological - by 40% and self-expression - by 100%.

• - physical motivations on vacation: sports, recreation on the beaches, health-improving training, etc. All these motivations are general aspect: reduce fatigue and tension through active physical activity and thus achieve a new physical condition through rest.
• -cultural motivations can be identified as a desire to know other parts of the country with a different culture, history, architecture.
• - social motivations, or relationships between people, include the desire to meet new people, visit friends.
• - motivation to change activities or geographical location assume to get out of the routine associated with work or daily activities, the transition to a new geographical environment.
• - status and prestige motivations are associated with the "I" of a person and his personal development. These motives can be associated, for example, with business travel, trips to congresses, study. The desire for recognition, attention and good reputation can be satisfied very broadly and deeply through travel.
• entertainment motivation is associated with the desire to have fun (dance, sports, music, walks).

The psychology of tourist needs covers the study of all psychological aspects of the client: his behavior, motivation, desires, cultural and other needs, based on:

• - motivation and desires of the tourist;
• - typology of tourist clientele;

Travelers can be classified according to the types identified American psychologist Stanley Plogom:

Psychocentric (concentrating on themselves) and egocentric (extroverted behavior). Psychocentrics prefer: to travel with families in strictly certain places; active joint vacation in familiar areas; resorts where there is a lot of sun and good quality recreation; little activity; places that can be reached by car; tourist comfort with a developed network of hotels, restaurants, shops; home environment(familiar cuisine, family atmosphere, absence of foreigners); a complete package of very intensive excursions.

Egocentrics prefer active and varied entertainment; adventure and thrill in life; travel to satisfy curiosity. The greatest attraction is seen in underdeveloped tourist areas. They try to use air transport as much as possible, are demanding on living conditions, good nutrition. For them, “modernity” is not obligatory, more precisely, following fashion, since they are not interested in promoted, “hackneyed” resorts and attractions. They prefer to meet new culture and communicate with foreigners. If there are excursions in the program, they do not accept strict schedules and require the maximum degree of freedom and independence. The adaptation of this classification on Russian soil is a controversial and difficult issue. And we will not be able to give unambiguous answers for a long time, because the constantly traveling stratum of society, firstly, is small, and secondly, it is still in a state of formation of preferences.

It is very important for hikers to take into account the psychological aspects of tourism, the possible indecent behavior of the hikers, which can manifest itself in extreme situations. These are heavy long-term physical exertion on the entire body, the exactingness of discipline on the part of the leader, oxygen starvation at its best.

Aspects of tourism. Psychology on the go

The successful passage of the entire route, and even the life of its participants, often depends on a competent and thoughtful decision from the situation that has arisen. It is very good when the group gathers from the participants, knowing friend friend for many years and who previously went on joint trips. But there are other options.

In the seventies, when I still did not have enough experience in understanding the psychology of people in extreme situations, on my initiative (then I worked as a senior instructor of the regional tourism council), a republican tourist expedition was organized to lay new sports-planned tourist mountain routes

The route passed along the northern spurs of the Ugam ridge and along the northwestern spurs of the Talas Ala-Tao - Dzhabaglytau, Alatau Bugulytortau. In this mountainous, impassable country, there is the Aksu-Zhabagly nature reserve, which occupies 128 thousand hectares, created back in 1926. Two large mountain rivers flow through the reserve - Aksu and Zhabagly, the staff of the reserve does not rise to their upper reaches because of their impassability. They told me about this when I coordinated our route. And they also talked about the presence of a bigfoot (yeti) in the mountains, presumably in the upper reaches of these rivers.

To participate in the expedition, the Republican Tourism Council sent representatives from Karaganda, Pavlodar and Alma-Ata as participants, I selected the rest myself from Chimkent. The route was designed for 10 days and for the passage of five passes, of which three were supposed to be first ascents. There were 9 people in the group, not counting a large stray dog ​​that joined us at the beginning of the route.

In the first two days we passed one pass (2800 m, grade 1A) and went down to the cordon of the Darbaza reserve, where the huntsman lived with his family. The path was technically easy along the trail, with a smooth climb and the same smooth descent, but in the evening the back ached from heavy backpacks and required rest. Left the cordon to the west dirt road to a small village where a bus from Chimkent came once a day. And to the east, the road entered the stone gates of a rocky corridor 5-8 meters wide, 80-100 meters high and 500 meters long. The mountain river Bala-Baldarbek rushed along the narrow deep bottom of the corridor.

Looking at this corridor from the side, it seemed that a long narrow passage in the mountain range had been cut down with a sword. The huntsman told us that until 1953 a narrow-gauge railway ran from the corridor. Railway to the village, where there were workshops and a base for crushing and loading rock containing uranium ores. In the morning we walked along this dark, gloomy corridor, then along the river we turned to the right along the way and entered a wide gorge with high rocky walls.

Gradually, the gorge narrowed, and finally, by noon, we reached the walls, from which the river fell in numerous waterfalls. Here, in a birch grove, we set up tents, and while dinner was being prepared, we began to look for a way up into the hanging valley in two bundles. While they were looking for an easier climb to the top, while they hung three forty railings, they found three adits of 50 meters each, then there were blockages and several sites on which guard booths used to stand.

In one of the adits, in a side opening, by the light of a flashlight, they saw a human skeleton chained to the wall with a five-meter chain. Below, in the valley of the gorge, they later discovered five more adits at the base of the rocky walls. And in the valley itself there are the remains of the stone walls of the barracks, in which the prisoners lived from 1944 to 1953. Given the difficulty of climbing the Hanging Valley and the further uncertainty of the path, I decided to organize a “delivery” of products here and go through a three-day circular route.

The next morning we went up the railing with lightweight backpacks. However, rock climbing required a lot of effort. After that, seeing that the ascent was getting easier, I allowed two Chimkent men to go ahead (they had a hunting rifle) to shoot wild pigeons, and after half an hour I made a 15-minute halt. At this time, two shots were fired ahead.

A participant from Pavlodar (let's call him Comrade Zelentsov) jumped to his feet and, turning to me, shouted: “Pavel Nikolaevich, you hear, they are killing the doves of peace! We must stop them urgently.” There was something unusual in his gestures and in the meaning of his words. I had a feeling that this was the beginning of a bad ending. Need to do something. He approached him and calmly began to convince him that he was tired, and he needed to return to the camp, accompanied by two experienced tourists. He immediately turned to these guys, suggesting that they go down to the camp and wait for us. The guys began to ask me to leave Zelentsov with the group, that they would help him complete the route. Zelentsov himself was silent. When the rest of the participants began to ask me to leave Zelentsov, I was forced to agree, and we continued to climb the high mountain valley without paths, over stones.

The trip took place at the end of September. The snowfields on the southern slopes are almost gone. The right orographically shallow tributary of the Shunkulduk River came out from under the stones, there was no further water. Below, about a hundred meters away, are the last bushes of elfin juniper, so they were forced to clear the ground from the stones and organize an overnight stay. In the morning we continued to climb along the rocky valley of Baldarbek to the spur, extending from the main ridge of the Ugam ridge. This spur and its further forks are called Baldarbek Mountains. The sources of the Baldarbek valley are located in a huge circus. On the right along the main ridge of the Ugamsky ridge, the Korumtor pass (3300 m, grade 2A) is visible. Right along the way, in the east, you can see the pass, which I will call Zapadny Dzhetytor in two years (3455 m, grade 1B).

Behind this pass there are seven small hanging trough glaciers, and behind them there is a pass through the Ugamsky ridge, which I called Vostochny Dzhetytor (3550 m, grade 1B). Under these names, they entered the All-Union classification. In the north, to the left along the way, there is a saddle of the Baldarbek pass (3300 m, 1B grade). Here on this pass we started climbing along a long, rocky-stony slope with a steepness of about 40 degrees. The ascent to the pass lasted about three hours, by lunchtime I climbed the pass with the main group and found a note from Tashkent tourists dated 1962 on the tour. The note was 10 years old.

An hour has passed since we got up here, and no one is visible from below. Finally, in the distance, the figure of Sasha Shulakov appeared, who waved his hand, inviting to him. I went down to them in 15 minutes, saw all three of them behind the rock and heard from Alexander that Zelentsov, when ascending, began to hide from them behind the rocky islands, referring to fatigue. On the offer to unload it, he refused and did not give the backpack. In the backpack, in addition to his personal belongings, there should have been 2 kg of buckwheat.

Then the guys took away the backpack and shook out the contents. In addition to buckwheat, there were three cans of condensed milk, two cans of stew and two chocolate bars in the backpack. He took these products without permission from the “abandonment”. Simply put, I stole it. To the question: “Why did he do this?”, he answered: “What if you leave me alone in the mountains?”. After assessing the situation, I came to the conclusion that it was dangerous to go further along the ring route with him. We must return to the base camp. "It's only the beginning! Oh oh oh!" He sent Volodya Kuznetsov upstairs to explain what had happened to those sitting on the pass, waited for them to descend and all together went down, repeating: "God judge him." It was I who now ironically remembered the verse of Nikolai Nekrasov, and then I was very sad that I had not insisted on my decision earlier with sending Zelentsov back to the camp.

We descended to the water and creeping juniper, spent the night and the next day in the evening descended to the base camp. Here a pleasant surprise awaited us. A stray dog ​​was sitting near the food “throw”, laid with stones, guarding the food and waiting for us. I decided to make a day trip, but not in the former camp of political prisoners, but below, in a wide valley with birch and rowan islands in autumn golden-orange color, near the Bala-Baldarbek river. They warmed water in buckets on the fire, from cobblestones, honeysuckle trunks and tarpaulins they created a black sauna, since there was a lot of firewood to heat the stones red-hot. Washed, washed underwear. Everyone's mood has improved, and you can sing songs with a guitar by the fire, which we did.

The next day, I decided to leave Zelentsov with two participants in the camp, and with the rest to make a ring route through the Burevestnik-2 and Neizvestny passes, located at the head of the Bala-Baldarbek river and leading to the Ulkenak-Su river. As darkness fell, everyone went to bed. About three hours later I woke up with a feeling of some kind of vague anxiety, got out of the tent and began to check the presence of the participants in the other two tents, feeling and counting the legs. One pair of legs was missing. I had to wake up all the guys, and it turned out that Zelentsov was not there, although all his things, a sleeping bag and a backpack were in place. There was no dog either. In the predawn twilight we examined the river bank, Zelentsov's trousers and jacket lay on the stones.

Gloomy assumptions and bad thoughts climbed into my head. He sent three down the river to inspect the banks, two to the surrounding area, and he himself with two comrades went up the river. The river, though full-flowing, but not enough to knock down. It can be forded, because here, in a gentle valley, the speed of the current decreases. But the water is very cold. We went up about a kilometer, found nothing, except for a small herd of roe deer and the grunting of wild boars. We moved away from the river and went down the path. Ahead, we heard excited voices and saw two of our guys, Zelentsov and a dog, near the haystack that the huntsman had prepared. It turns out that when the guys went up the path and reached the mound, a dog got out of it, and then Zelentsov in shorts and a T-shirt. When asked why he ended up here, Zelentsov said that, fearing beatings from the guys, he spent the night in a haystack hugging a dog.

In the camp, I gathered all the participants and announced that I was taking Zelentsov off the route and sending him through the ranger's cordon to the nearest village, accompanied by two guys. In the evening, according to the schedule, a regular bus to Chimkent was supposed to leave this village. Gave Zelentsov money for the journey. In order not to be offended by the attendants, he arranged a lottery for the group. Just in case, he made the minutes of the meeting with his decision and asked those present to sign.

Having sent Zelentsov and those accompanying us, giving them the appropriate instructions, we took all the food and went up the path along the Bala-Baldarbek riverbed to its sources, two gorges with caravan glaciers. Having organized a base camp in front of the moraines, and leaving two participants, I and the rest made a radial exit to the Burevestnik-2 pass (3350 m, grade 2A). Climbing a semi-hanging glacial cirque along three high moraine shafts (about 100-150 meters high) is relatively easy. Exit to the pass on a snowy slope. On the rocky saddle of the pass we saw two bearded mountain goats with high curved horns, jumping gracefully over the rocks. From the pass you can clearly see Sairam Peak and four-thousandth peaks around it. But the descent from the pass along rocky couloirs and steep rock slabs requires climbing equipment and appropriate training, and, of course, time. But we didn’t have time anymore, it was spent on Zelentsov’s whims, so we went down from the pass along the way to the base camp.

By evening, two escorts, Edik Kripulevich and Gena Sleptsov, came up. They successfully completed my order. Early the next morning, having taken all the food and equipment, we began to climb the pass, first along a large scree, and then along a steep rocky slope (up to 45 degrees). We hung three railing ropes, and approached a rocky jumper 30 meters high. The first went climbing without a backpack, hammering rocky hooks and hanging carabiners along the way, organized a top belay, and we all climbed a narrow rocky saddle. They called the pass ‘‘Brigantina‘‘, its height is about 3500 meters. Subsequently, they qualified him as 2A K. sl. When we sat on the pass and had a dry lunch, we heard the scream of the Himalayan snowcock, and then we saw how this mountain chicken flies from rock to rock. We met Kekliks many times, but snowcocks - for the first time.

The descent from the pass is quite steep (about 40 degrees) along the firn slope to a small cirque glacier about 200 meters long. The tongue of the glacier ends with an icefall, which bypasses on the right along the rocks. Below is a small moraine lake, then several moraine ridges, from under which a high-water stream appears. It is the left tributary of the Ulkenak-Su river. The slope is covered with yellow-greenish withered grass and pitted with burrows of Menzbir's red marmot. Most of the holes are already filled from the inside with earth. It's September, the marmots go into hibernation. We went down the stream to its confluence with the Ulkenak-Su River (in translation - “Big white water"). A high-water, furious stream, moving stones, sawed through a deep channel in a narrow gorge.

Leaving backpacks and a few people, the guys and I went up a barely noticeable path, most likely an animal one, because after 15 minutes we saw a small brown Tien Shan white-clawed bear walking along the path. He snorted displeasedly, with the agility of an acrobat quickly climbed the rocky slope and disappeared into the thickets of the Turkestan tree-like juniper. After walking for another half an hour before the avalanche from the right rocky couloir, we saw a white skull with large steep horns of an argali (mountain sheep) in the stones. It looked good, and there was a great temptation to take it with you, but it weighed 15 kilograms. I had to leave it. The gorge narrowed further and turned into a narrow canyon, turning smoothly to the east. AT southbound in the distance, a saddle was visible either in the main crest of the ridge, or in its spur.

We turned back and an hour later we went down to the comrades who were waiting for us, another half an hour later we went down to the confluence of Ulken-Aksu and Kshiak-Su (in translation - “Little White Water”). These two high-water seething streams form the Aksu River, which rushes down, entraining huge boulders and sawing a deep channel in the rock. A dull roar stands over the river. Here the gorge widens, and we descend already through a high juniper forest, which creates an unusual, unique look of the landscape. And the air! Archa releases volatile essential oils, and phytoncides purify and heal the air, creating a stable antimicrobial zone. Therefore, the yeti (snowman) living in these places is so tall and large. The huntsman of the Aksu cordon, located fifteen kilometers further down the right bank of the canyon, said that he had seen a shaggy, fur-clad mighty man several times in late autumn on the first snow.

About three hours later, walking along animal paths along the left wooded slope, we traversed to the exit of the gorge from the mountains. mountain gorge gradually turned into unique phenomenon nature - Aksu canyon. This is a huge crack in the earth's crust. From the exit from the mountains to the narrowing, it stretches for 18 km, the maximum width between the edges reaches 400-500 meters. Depth up to 500-600 m. The steep and straight walls of the canyon sometimes fall to a depth of 200 meters. In some places they form shelves and small terraces, which are replaced by steep cornices, turning into vertical walls.

Such a variety of slope character can be observed along almost the entire length of the canyon. Juniper forests and light forests of evergreen, tall junipers in the gorge are replaced by wild apple forests from the relic Sievers apple tree, broad-leaved forests from the relic Caucasian frame (iron tree). There are walnut and oak groves. Therefore, many wild boars, roe deer, badgers, foxes, hares, stone martens, weasels live in the canyon, and bears come here for the winter. There are many caves, grottoes, cavities in the steep slopes of the canyon. A month after the trip, I came to the huntsman, left the motorcycle with him and, at his prompt, found a 200-meter descent along a steep path to the bottom of the canyon. In caves and cavities, on shelves under cornices, I looked for mumiyo and, being there, I had the opportunity to verify the presence of various animals inhabiting the forests of the canyon.

At the exit from the Aksu gorge, in the foothills, on the outskirts of the juniper forests, we found numerous oblong earthen hills hiding the stone foundations of former buildings. Later, when reading the archival history of people settling in these regions, I learned that there was a fortress and a settlement here. A good location: from the north - an impenetrable abyss, from the east and south - mountains, and from the west - city walls made of stone. That would be here for archaeologists to dig.

We completed our expedition in a small village, where the former base of prisoners who mined uranium ore. Now it is quiet here, and only a day later a regular bus comes here, rumbling and raising road dust. Behind us was not completely passed the route, but the impressions of what he saw and experienced - a lot. I still remember. Especially the quirks of mother nature, which gave birth to man and the diversity of all life that fills our land and especially mountains. Mountains are alive too.

returning to original topic of his essay - about inadequate psychological behavior person in extreme conditions, which can lead to a sad outcome, I will briefly talk about two more cases. At the camp site ‘‘Gorelnik‘’, above the city of Alma-Ata, at the school of mountain tourism instructors, classes were held on rappelling on a sheer cliff. The graduating instructor (master of sports V. Popov) on a small platform checks a student for the descent (we will conditionally call him Blokov), I stand almost nearby, waiting for my turn.

Suddenly Blok's face contorted in pain, he began to shake, his body contorted. I, instantly understanding what was happening, grabbed him by the shoulders and pressed him to the ground, pressing down with his whole body. He twitched for another five minutes in convulsions and then calmed down. Blokov came with me from Chimkent. There I heard from comrades that he sometimes had epileptic seizures. He has been engaged in tourism for a long time, under his leadership a group of young people was formed, whom he led on weekend hikes. He played the guitar and sang well. He had a great desire to be trained in the school of instructors. But it could have ended tragically, the cliff was nearby, and he had not yet been on insurance. We must pay tribute to the leadership of the school, which allowed him to complete the entire course of study and participate in the test campaign. During that period, he had no epileptic seizures.

The second case took place in the alpine camp ‘‘Talgar‘‘ at the stage of a set of ascents to the 3rd category. From early morning until evening we were training sessions or climbing to the top. In the evening, in the circle of the department, the instructor analyzed and evaluated our actions. At the next debriefing, the instructor from Krasnoyarsk A. Kholmogorov began to talk about the general moral climate of the department, which is made up of the behavior of its individual participants. If one of the participants, in addition to general reception food at a certain time and in a certain amount, constantly chewing something in a sleeping bag or when moving on a route, this causes others to backlash and alienation, which in extreme conditions can cause undesirable consequences.

A. Kholmogorov set out all this delicately, without naming names. But then we realized what we were talking about. We had a friend from Norilsk who kept onions, lard and stew in his backpack. There, in the city of Norilsk, he was undernourished due to the specific living conditions. I learned this from him when I once got into a conversation with him. He didn’t steal, he just asked for more in the kitchen in the camp, and he ate onions like bread. But the rest did not know this and could think something bad.

All these subtleties of the psychological aspects of tourism need to be known to the leader of the group in order to create a healthy moral atmosphere by their actions in a timely manner and avoid the manifestation of negative actions that lead to sad consequences. Live and learn! Read, listen, understand and analyze your own and extraneous actions. The more you know, the more pleasant it is to communicate with people and nature. ‘‘Otherwise, why do we live on this eternal land?’

Psychological tourism(psy-tourism) is a new and rapidly developing direction modern tourism. Its appearance is due to the intense rhythm of human life, especially in major cities, which constantly keeps in suspense and does not allow you to relax for a moment. Stress, haste, fuss, noises have a devastating effect on both the physical and the mental health each of us. On weekends, it is not always possible to fully recover. The only hope left is vacation.

What does psychological tourism include?

Psychological tourism is a specially developed technology for restoring and maintaining mental health person in modern world.

You are trying to photograph the beauty of the place, and then a bus arrives with a crowd of people who are mainly concerned about the opportunity to take a dozen shots on the "soap box" in the style of "me and that horse." As a rule, tourists of this type have only their favorite ones in all the photos from the trip. In this situation, by the way, I still feel very sorry for the guide - in best case, a couple of people are listening to him. But let's put aside discontent and look more broadly and understand what other types of tourists exist?

Beachgoers

By the way, they are also different. There are people who are completely exhausted by work, who simply do not have the strength for new impressions, but want to lie down and move away from stress. And there are those very people who all over the world cause an unambiguous negative reaction and a dismissive shrug in their direction. Like, what to take from them - beachgoers ... If they go on excursions, they turn into the type of tourists that I don’t like so much.

Experience Seekers

A very broad group. It includes:

food tourists- For them, the main thing in the country is its taste. It is important for such people to try all the most authentic. By the way, most often they are well aware that authentic food in the same Thailand is not at all at street eateries.

Photo tourists- crazy people who do not part with kilograms of photographic equipment. For them, the quality of the trip is determined by the number of successful shots.

Extreme– surfers, snowboarders and other trekking enthusiasts. "Movement is life!" is their motto. After the trip, the stories will be mainly about how many kilometers they covered and how successfully they dived with scuba gear.

Shopping tourists– their trips take place strictly on sales days, they know the location of all the fashion boutiques in Paris and Milan, and are also able to list all shopping centers that are on Orchard Road in Singapore.

Back packers They don't have suitcases, they have backpacks. And with these backpacks, they are able to circle the whole world if they are not stopped in time. They are not chasing luxury hotels and expensive restaurants. For them, the main thing is the realization that they were in this country.

All four subgroups can be mixed in any order. I noticed that very often extreme sportsmen and photo-tourists are the same people.

Residents

Absolutely special type tourists. They come to the country and after a couple of days decide to stay here for a couple of months, rent an apartment and just live. Sometimes they go shopping, sometimes they go to take pictures or lie on the beach. If the country really liked and the budget allows, such a tourist acquires his own housing and turns into a local resident.

What type of traveler are you? It is clear that, depending on the circumstances, priorities may change. But which type do you like the most? To me - a hybrid of a photo and food tourist with a resident.
