Traveller's psychology. Personal characteristics research

The psychological aspects of the traveller are reviewed in the context of the theory of psychological systems. We present survey data, as well as the results of the research of characteristics, such as rigidity and internality. The research shows that people with different degrees of involvement in the journey equally highly value the developing tourism resources, but they try to use them in normal life in different ways. The degree of travel involvement and the openness (secrecy) conditions of one's psychological system are interconnected. Rigidity (flexibility) is the most related to travel-making personal feature. Frequent trips appear to be connected with such personality characteristic as flexibility of the inner world of an individual, susceptibility to new things.
