Σύνοψη	Visitor-employed photography (VEP) is a participant-generated visual method in which visitors themselves take photographs of what is meaningful, appealing or notable to them in a setting, and the resulting images, together with the visitors' own explanations, become the research data. Introduced by Cherem and Driver (1983) to measure common perceptions of natural environments, VEP hands the camera to the visitor rather than relying on researcher-chosen images or words alone, capturing place perception through the visitor's own eyes. In tourism it has become a key tool for studying destination image, as MacKay and Couldwell (2004) demonstrated by using VEP to investigate how visitors actually picture a site and how that compares with official promotional imagery. By combining what visitors photograph with why, VEP yields a visitor-centred, relatively unobtrusive window onto how people see and value places.	Push-pull motivation analysis is the dominant framework for explaining why people travel and why they choose particular destinations, by separating two distinct forces. Push factors are internal, socio-psychological motives that create the desire to travel in the first place, such as the wish to escape routine, relax, gain prestige, or enhance one's ego. Pull factors are external attributes of destinations that draw travelers toward a specific place, such as scenery, climate, culture, attractions, and events. Graham Dann introduced the push-pull logic in 1977, arguing that the answer to 'what makes tourists travel?' lies first in push factors like anomie and ego-enhancement, and John Crompton's 1979 study gave it empirical shape by identifying socio-psychological and cultural motives behind pleasure vacations. The analysis measures both sets of factors, recovers their underlying dimensions, and examines how internal motives connect to the destination attributes travelers seek.
