FACTORS THAT MOTIVATE AND DETERMINE THE CHOICE OF TOURIST DESTINATIONS

Ionuț Mircea Petroman, Loredana Văduva, Tiberiu Iancu

Abstract


The motivating factors in choosing a tourist destination can be those that motivate a person to take a vacation or factors that motivate a person to take a particular vacation in a certain destination and at a certain time. These two categories of factors that motivate the choice of destination can be correlated with one or more motivators, cultural, personal development, status, emotional, physical and personal. In order to select tourist destinations, tourists must be persuaded by those who develop tourist products, by stimulating the desire to visit an alternative type of destination in the detriment of a marketed destination. Marketers must know the reasons which influence tourism consumers when provoking and directing human behaviors in purchasing a tourist destination, because there are several reasons which determine consumer behavior.

Keywords
