Your interviewer is curious about your reasons for pursuing this opportunity with them. They have a vested interest in ensuring whomever they hire will prove to be a worthy investment, resulting in a long-term professional relationship. How you answer will help them determine if such a relationship will be one-sided or mutually beneficial. Someone who is just in it for the travel perks has little to offer. Someone who is interested in growing within their position and company, and has a lot of drive and ambition, has a lot more to offer. Their recruiting efforts offer "ongoing coaching and development throughout your career" aim to appeal to such talent.
