Vietnamese students have been encouraged to choose South Korea as their study abroad destination as a result of the rising popularity of Korean culture, technology, and science in Vietnam over the years. This study uses primary survey data from 161 Vietnamese studying in South Korea, according to the 5-level Lirket scale, along with quantitative analysis techniques such as scale testing, exploratory factor analysis, and regression analysis. The analysis’ findings indicate that there are seven aspects, including the training program, personal growth, language, career prospects, support, immigration prospects and cultural factor that influence Vietnamese students’ decisions to study abroad in South Korea. In order to develop reasonable policies to entice Vietnamese students to study in South Korea, Korean training institutes and organizations that promote Korean education abroad can use the research results as a credible quantitative basis.

This paper is driven both by a growing appetite for solo female travel; as well as a knowledge gap in the market and literature. The aim is to identify generational differences in women's solo travel motivations, characterize the generational differences in their preferred destination attributes, and ascertain any generational differences in their perceived inhibiting factors to travelling solo post the COVID-19 pandemic. By using the push–pull framework theory as the overarching framework, a survey was administered and 1576 responses from experienced solo female travellers were analysed. The findings revealed the different generations of solo female travellers and their distinctive travel needs (push factor/motivation, pull factor/destination preference, and inhibiting factors/risk & constraint) during the COVID pandemic.

The migration from India with special reference to Bihar has a long history. Slaves from this area were sent to British colonies like Fiji, Mauritius, Guyana, and Suriname as Girmitiya during the British colonial period. During the early years of independent India, many people from this area moved to Calcutta and Assam, Later, in the aftermath of the green revolution, people relocated to the Punjab, Haryana, and the northern states in search of financial prosperity. In the new globalized world, people are either moving to cities like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Kolkata, and Chennai, or to countries in the Gulf. Therefore, it becomes necessary to examine the major cause of migration from the research area towards the Gulf countries. The examination was quantitative and based on samples survey approach. To examine the objective and test the hypothesis, descriptive statistics, Principal component analysis, reliability analysis, and regression analysis were utilized. The study confirms that the push factor plays a significant role in people migrating. The major cause of migration was ‘lack of jobs’, ‘low wages’, ‘poor financial condition’, ‘debt. on the family’, ‘social insecurity’, & ‘social discrimination. Apart from the push factor, a few pull factors such as ‘better employment opportunities’, ‘improved living standard’, ‘personal development’, ‘presence of relatives’ & ‘attractive environment’ also plays a significant role in Gulf migration. The further result reveals that 41% of the migrants moved mainly by push factors, 6% by only push factors, 23% mainly by pull factors, 3% by only pull factors and 27% have chosen both factors as the cause of migration. The study also found that the marital status, age, family type, and religion of migrant workers are significant positive determinants of the length of their stay. On the other hand, the level of education and pre-migration income of migrant workers are significant negative determinants of the length of their stay.

The primary aim of this study was to provide a better understanding of the decision-making cycle of Chinese and Japanese tourists by testing the hypothesis via an extended model of goal-directed behavior. This study was also aimed at extending the concept of the goal-direct model and cognitive dissonance theory by examining the revisit intention for tourism. These two countries represent more than half of the tourism market in Korea. Despite the huge market potential of Chinese and Japanese tourists, relatively little study has been founded on predicting the revisit intention of inbounded tourists. A survey material was developed by adapting measures used in previous studies that assessed the push factor, pull factor, attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, anticipated emotion, desire, cognitive dissonance, and revisit intention. Note that 580 cases were on-site surveyed as popular tourist destinations in Seoul, South Korea. The 545 cases were analyzed for the final results. Statistical analysis was conducted through demographic analysis, Confirmatory factor analysis, and SEM (Structural Equation Model) analyses. This study found that the decision to go to Korea is a sound, enthusiastic, and delicate choice measured by the variable of the MGB. Results likewise showed that the theory could be extended to incorporate the impact of inbound visitors' perception of cognitive dissonance. This study is to recognize the decision-making process influencing the revisit intention of Chinese and Japanese tourists and draw academic and practical implications from the difference of the impact on each element.

The way people travel has been entirely altered by COVID-19. Additionally, past studies reported that tourist behaviour has shifted because of the pandemic. Therefore, tourism management must identify the variables that impact tourists' decisions to travel during COVID-19. However, the problem arises since research into tourist motivation, behaviour, and intention to travel in Southeast Asia is still scarce. In light of this issue, this study aims to bridge the gap by analysing tourists' travel intentions during COVID-19 using the theory of planned behaviour broadened with push and pull factors. An online survey among Indonesians was employed to acquire data using judgment sampling. Three hundred sixtyone surveys were completed, and the data were analysed using the PLS-SEM technique. Based on the findings, only one variable had no significant effect on the intention to travel during COVID-19. Besides that, attitude towards a behaviour was the most potent variable affecting a tourist's decision to travel. Thus, this study contributes both theoretically and practically.

Archeological tourism has great potential for development in numerous destinations. However, literature on archeotourism is scarce and empirical data are very limited. This paper analyzes the incentives to participate in archeotourism and, following the Dual Factor Theory, examines how incentives and constraints may affect the intention to participate in archeotourism in Spain. Data were collected from 521 domestic tourists. An exploratory factor analysis revealed 6 dimensions of incentives: core archeological attraction, aspects that favour the acquisition of historic-cultural knowledge, archeotourism development of the destination, participatory archeological activities, extra archeological attraction and leisure activities. A multiple regression analysis showed that, except leisure activities, all dimensions are crucial incentives for behavioural intention. However, for the oldest age groups, in addition to leisure activities, participatory archeological activities and extra archeological attractions are also not key incentives. On the other hand, among the constraints analyzed, only intrapersonal barriers significantly affect tourists' intentions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Migration is regarded as the survival strategy for human civilization. The participation of women in migration depends on the social roles of women, their autonomy and capacity to make decisions, their access to resources, and the existing gender stratification in countries of origin and destination. When practices or policies in the country of origin discriminate against women by, for instance, limiting their access to resources or educational opportunities, or by hindering their political participation, the capacity of women to participate fully in society and contribute to it is reduced. The prime focus of the study to determine the factors which has major influence on the women from Bihar that results the migration. This factor has been segregated into push and pull factor that driven Bihari women to migrate from their native place to Tangra in Kolkata and they have settled their habitant in the midst of slum area. Method: The study is descriptive survey method where self-made 5 point Likert Scale tool has been constructed by the investigator where primary data were collected from the respondents. It refers to that data which is collected for a specific purpose from the field and are original in nature. Secondary data was collected through various web sources and expert opinion, various text books, websites, journals, dissertations, etc. The data were analyzed by using "Factor Analysis method" through SPSS software. Result: The findings of the study revealed that it is the pull factor which contributes the major impact on variance and high Eigen value with 84. 691% of forced pull factors. The major factors constitutes better job opportunities, known relatives and friend, high women participation rate, better standard of living and scholarship and grant opportunities in education for girls. Conclusion: The study help us to understand the situation of women from Bihar and the major cause of migration to slum area of Kolkata. Their main motivation that works is the deprivation of economic opportunities in their origin state, while the destined place supports their economic factors with major opportunities in the different sectors with variation in working style.

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have played a crucial role in conducting Search and Rescue (SAR) operations off the Libyan coast, assisting almost 120,000 migrants between 2014 and 2019. Their activities, however, have been increasingly criticized. The accusation that NGOs facilitate irregular migration has escalated into investigations by Italian and Maltese courts and various policy initiatives restricting non-governmental ships and their access to European ports. Although all NGOs investigated to date have been acquitted, the combination of criminal investigations and policy restrictions that has taken place in Italy since 2017 has severely hindered non-governmental SAR operations. Given the humanitarian repercussions of reducing NGOs' presence at sea, the merits and shortcomings of the arguments underlying the criminalization of non-governmental maritime rescue warrant in-depth research. To that end, this article fulfils two interrelated tasks. First, it provides a genealogy of the accusation against NGOs and the ensuing combination of legal criminalization, policy restrictions, and social stigmatization in restraining their activities. Second, it uses quantitative data to show that empirically verifiable accusations like the claim that NGOs serve as a pull factor of migration, thereby causing more people to day at sea, are not supported by available evidence. By doing so, our study sheds new light onto the criminalization of humanitarianism and its implications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose – Current study is an attempt to look into the various theoretical concepts/ theories that help to understand what motivates individuals, especially young people, to travel and which are the practical implications of the analysed theories. In particular, we chose Maslow’s Theory of Needs to analyse youth travel motivations. Research Design – The study draws its base from two streams of literature, one being associated with motivations and the other dealing with the question of how motivations can influence travelling patterns of an individual. The literature review was done extensively and articles published in the domain of tourist motivations and related areas were traced and reviewed. Findings – Our analysis of youth tourism centred on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and confirmed its validity as an explanation of the most important youth travellers’ motivations. The results also indicate that, due to recent technological developments affecting societies and young tourists’behaviours – especially those of Millennials – new needs have emerged, which are discussed in detail. Research Limitations – The research has been carried out in light of the available literature and it fails to address empirical evidence. Also, the analysis of youth tourism needs to be extended to other motivation theories as those which are presented in this work.

Migration, which is a rational labour issue within society, has become a hot topic globally. In recent years there has been an increase in labour migration due to globalization, disparities in the development levels of countries, culture and environment, social instability, political regimes and war. The objective of the presented study was to research the push & pull factors affecting the migration of Mongolians to the Republic of South Korea. The survey was conducted among 498 Mongolians living and working in the Jeollanamеdu and Jeollabugdu districts of the metropolitan cities of Incheon and Ulsan, as well as in the capital city Seoul. Numerous statistical techniques were applied to test the reliability and validity of the data, as well as factor analysis to confirm that the concepts of each variable were correctly measured, correlation analysis to assess the strength of the relationship between the independent and dependent variables, and multiple regression analysis to predict the value of variables used in the study. The results of the study showed that the major push factor was an economic one, for which the main motives for migration were low or instable income, the economic downturn and poverty. Likewise, the pull factors were also economic, whereby the motivation to migrate to South Korea was driven by high wages, wellbeing, the opportunity to save and/ or social factors, such as access to quality education, the cultural experience and joining family members who had already settled in the country.
