intrinsic motivation. Extrinsic: it is far derived essentially from the outside with the help of the
use of extrinsic motivation in tourism, which are rewards, incentives such as praise, money and
status. Another challenge is external motivation in tourism. This is useful when someone is
working for income rewards in case they feel that it is boring. Intrinsic motivation in tourism:
it is by far the form of motivation in tourism that comes entirely from within the worker. This is
done using the self-realization worker, it is much extra powerful for doing long-term tasks. A
good way to deliver intrinsic motivation in tourism is to offer valuable notes and guidance from
