This instrument was validated and tested for adventure tourism, cultural tourism and agritourism centres. Followed by the reliability and validity testing of the instrument, the findings of the study suggests that developed instrument effectively measure the motivational needs of tourists behind pursuing AST with seven interpretable, inclusive and distinct dimensions.
