ASPECTS REGARDING FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE CHOICE OF TOURISM DESTINATIONS BY TOURISTS

Abstract

We take decisions every day, all the time and sometimes the consequences have major impact on our life. Even when we are planning our vacation we take one or more decisions starting with the budget we allocate, period, transportation and ending with choosing the destination. Normally, the choice of the destination is based on a previous experience, a strong motivation or an offer which cannot be refused provided by a supplier of tourism services. But what determines us to choose a specific destination? This is the question the authors are trying to answer by using a survey distributed to 225 persons from Timisoara. So, the purpose of the article is to identify factors that contribute to the choice of tourism destinations by tourists.
