Abstract
As the adventure tourism is growing exponentially worldwide, this paper tries to find out the factors that affect the travel motivation of Asian travellers, especially the youths’ adventure travelling inspiration. The types of factors that affect their travel motivation include economic ability, budget, age, marital status, travel duration, education, colonial impacts, global cultural interactions and communication etc. Quantitative study surveys are undertaken based on the information of Asian tourist arrivals in Bangladesh from 15 countries and regions.
