I actually have 2 answers which I would consider to be valid.
The first answer is defense. When a bug lands on your skin and walks over it, it sort of tickles. This is natures way of telling you that there is an intruder on your body.
The second answer is potential pleasure. Have you ever noticed that most people are the most ticklish in places which can be considered erogenous zones? The bare feet are quite often the most ticklish place of all but a nice massage feels great there. Some ladies love to have their feet worshipped as many ways as possible. The armpits are also a very ticklish location and for some people, a light touch is very erogenous there. The neck and the ears can be very ticklish as well as the inner thighs.
If you are a person who has been spared the tickle torture abuse that some parents/siblings/uncles…. force on children - there is a very good chance that you could find playful, erotic tickling very pleasurable. The most important thing is that TRUST, RESPECT and a DESIRE TO PLEASE are all in place before the tickling begins.

Lots of nerve endings near the surface in certain locations. Some people are more in tune with their bodies than others and react more intensely.

It is a natural reaction that evolved from our body reacting to dangerous insects on vulnerable parts of our bodies.

Nerve endings near muscles.
For example obese people dont have many tickle spots because fat is covering them.

I remember someone telling me it is a learned behavior. I do not know if I agree with that or not.

Sensitivity due to lack of stimulation.
