The global increase in the elderly population has a direct influence on the travel, tourism, and hospitality sector because senior travelers have become major consumers. Therefore, developing a deeper understanding of senior motivations for overseas travel is required. However, the presence of theoretical and practical gaps limits the comprehension of this demographic market. Thus, this research sought to identify the underlying dimensionality and measurement of senior travel motivations and developed a scale to measure them. In addition, it validated the scale across future travel behaviors and preferences for tourism types and sites. An eight-factor structure of senior travel motivations was generated. The overall construct satisfied a series of convergent, discriminant, and nomological validity tests. Furthermore, the scale demonstrated a predictive explanatory power for profiling the future travel behavior and preference of seniors.

全球老年人口的增加直接影响到旅行，旅游和酒店业，因为老年人已成为主要消费者。因此，需要对出国旅行的高级动机有更深入的了解。然而，理论上和实践上的差距的存在限制了对这一人口市场的理解。因此，本研究试图确定高级旅行动机的基本维度和度量标准，并制定了衡量这些动机的量表。此外，它验证了未来旅行行为和对旅游类型和地点的喜好程度的规模。形成了八种高级旅行动机的结构。总体结构满足一系列收敛，判别和法理有效性检验。此外，
