Consumer behaviour and its influence on tourism development

Consumer behavior in developed economies is the subject of sustained interest, since only the consumer himself decides what kind of services he needs and for which he is willing to pay well. Tourism is considered a major determinant of the development of the national economy and represents a potential of generating a profit from a macroeconomic point of view and also from a microeconomic perspective. The aim of this paper is the analysis and comparison of the views of the individual authors on concepts such as tourism and consumer behaviour. We also want to point out through conducted marketing research on the impact of demographic variables on consumer behavior in tourism.
