Abstract

This paper examines the young tourism in the context of the backpacking phenomenon. The origin and evolution of this form of travel are presented and discussed through the literature review on the backpacking theme; defining elements and approaches emerge, to date, mixed with changed and changing motivations and experiences. The market-oriented approach is, in fact, enriched by geographical,
sociological and anthropological perspectives, in order to outline the main characteristics and dynamics of backpacking. The paper aims at contribute to the analysis of the backpacker demand side, presenting data and results from a case study on the attitude of young university students.
