The Q-methodology was adapted to identify the factors composing of the belief, values, attitudes, ideas. Total of 33 Q-sample(statements) were sorted by 32 P-sample. The Quanl program finally produced 3 factors that were interpreted and named as follows: The Travel as Cultural Experience; The Travel as Status Conferral; and The Travel as Purposive Activity. These three factors have their own unique characteristics, and it newly turned out that traveling abroad, which used to be recognized as a play, is getting recognized as a part of work. It is noteworthy that traveling abroad, which used to be recognized as a play, is not a play any more. It is getting recognized as a part of work.
