Sažetak
There are a number of motivations for travelling, and these motivations are linked to needs that tourists want to fulfil. As tourists differ from one another, so do the factors that motivate tourists to travel, such as personality, life styles, past experiences and selfperception. In most cases, multiple factors exist that encourage tourists to travel. In this time of economic crisis, it is assumed that certain changes have occurred in the behaviour of tourists when selecting a destination. A survey concerning tourist behaviour in times of crisis was conducted in July, August and September 2009 to establish the effect of economic crisis on tourist behaviour in selecting a tourist destination. The survey involved a sample of tourists visiting selected seaside tourist resorts of the Istria County. The paper aims to establish a link between economic crisis and the motivations for selecting the Istria County as a holiday destination.
