초록

This study aimed to identify improvisation in travel and understand itsattributes and situations. Literature on improvisation was reviewed in various art fieldssuch as avant-garde art, dance, and behavioral economics. Subsequently, characteristicssimilar to improvisation in travel, such as independent travel and coincidentalexperiences, were considered. From this, the features and significance of improvisationin travel were derived. Improvisation in travel is defined as the occurrence ofunplanned events, such as insufficient information and unconfirmed schedules,leading to indeterminacy and uncertainty. The attributes associated with improvisationinclude risk-taking, attention, intuition, freedom, and impulsive decision-making.Consequently, improvisation in travel fosters creativity and serendipitous encounters.Creativity distinguishes one traveler from another, while serendipity adds meaningthrough admiration and reflection. Thus, ‘improvisation in travel’ is defined as ‘travelthat involves making choices and engaging in activities freely, intuitively, andimpulsively depending on the situation, without extensive planning.’ This study holdsacademic significance as it lays the groundwork for future research on spontaneityin travel, drawing from previous studies on spontaneity in tourism and other fields.It is hoped that ongoing research will continue to explore this area further.
