This study conflates the motivation of why people travel with that of why people use virtual world. We adapt the concept of liminoid in tourism field in that liminoid plays a role as a threshold through which people enter the different world. We subsequently propose the idea of how human behaves in the liminal status in virtual world by mirroring the tourists’ behaviors in travel sites. We explain the two possible behaviors: Prosaic, and Inversionary based on the previous research.
