Abstract
We believe that travel, which is perhaps the most important element of tourism, should be questioned with the concept of utopia further. Associating the concept of utopia with travel will close a gap or lead to a new discussion. Therefore, we evaluated the relationship between travel and utopia in this paper. Following the philosophical basis of the concept of utopia, we have determined its equivalent in tourism literature as the transformation of utopian thought into travel. In this context, we held discussions within the scope of travelers who prefer more independent and longer travels than tourists. We realized that the aims of the travelers who set out to their own utopian spaces, transform being on the road rather than arriving at these spaces. Focusing on these utopian travels, we adopt the hermeneutic paradigm in the paper. Hence, we propose a model by examining travels with utopian ideas by sociological and psychological discussions. The prominent concepts in this model were social life-utopia and escape-approach. Eventually, we mentioned related discussions and gave suggestions for future studies.

Articles that have been either published elsewhere or which are currently considered for publication elsewhere, must not be submitted for reviewing. A journal publication might take from about one month up to one nine months to appear. The reviewing process is competitive with less than 69% of papers considered finally being accepted for publication. Authors must be certain that their paper meets the academic standards of rigorous scholarly research. Authors must have reviewed and cited the critical and recent English references that relate to the research paper. Where other language references are used these must be translated. Articles must be English language edited by authors prior to submission to the journal.
