Abstract
This study utilises the findings of prominent researchers to examine a critical viewpoint of tourist behaviour (T.B.) through an analysis of different constructs, theories, and models primarily focused on four socio-psychological constructs: motivation, personality, attitude, and environment. The results demonstrate the significance of socio-psychological frameworks in the management of travel itineraries. The comprehension of visitors' conduct is a complex undertaking due to its dynamic characteristics and its continual susceptibility to several social and psychological dimensions, such as perception, motivation, personality, and environment. The practical implications of this study center around need for destination managers, businesses, and policymakers to re-evaluate their strategies and prioritise responsible, inclusive, and sustainable tourism practices that are consistent with the key perspectives on motivation, personality, attitude, and environment.
