Event Management 2In the study of Motivational theories, the push and pull theorizing is the primary framework usedto formulate and test motivations for event attendance. In this framework, the push factors are considered to be those internal factors that make one travel while the pull factors are the external factors that make one visit some places or take part in some activity. The seek-escape dichotomy is another theory usually used in event motivation. This theory asserts that the wish to seek essential rewards and that to get out of typical environment makes one be involved in leisure activities. Seven motivational dimensions were identified from various studies as discussed below.The dimension of family closeness has an active cultural component. Here, senior married people were found to spend more time with family compared to young couples. Concerning nationality, the South Americans and the Asian tourists valued time with family than the Canadian and U.S guests. It was noted that individuals with lower income appreciated more timewith their families unlike those whose annual house income is high. On the basis of sex, females were found to spend more time with the family as than males. The other motivational dimension ascertained was socialization. This shows interaction with people either external socialization which is interaction with new people in the event or internal socialization which is interaction with familiar people. Unlearned visitors valued socialization compared to the learned, visitors from local regions liked socialization unlike visitors from without, people with low income, and the young who had more time with friends (Lee, Lee, & Choi, 2011). The motivation to escape or recreate is the desire to relax and refresh both physically and mentally from the day-to-day life pressures. Escape is affected by sex where female preferred getting away for a while than males, Age-wise the young (18-25) preferred getting away from daily routine than those above 30 years (Tkaczynski, & Rundle-Thiele, 2011).
