МОТИВАЦИЯ ТУРИСТОВ КАК ФАКТОР УВЕЛИЧЕНИЯ ТУРИСТИЧЕСКОГО ПОТОКА

Abstract

Рассмотрены исследования в области приключенческого туризма. Выявлены разные виды мотивации туристов, участвующих в приключенческих турах, такие как: «побыть на природе», «изучение», «значимый опыт» и «узнать новую культуру». Преимущественное количество участников приключенческого туризма мотивировано желанием под влиянием приобретенных впечатлений изменить что-либо в своей жизни или полностью ее трансформировать. На основании сделанных выводов предложены рекомендации туристическим фирмам.
