Which factors are typically believed to have the greatest influence on tourists' behaviors?
Anecdotally, the four factors (or variables) that are usually considered to have the greatest influence on tourist behaviors include:
- weather conditions,
- economic environment,
- the prices of products and services offered to tourists,
- the amount of leisure time that pleasure travelers have available to them. (Leisure time is the residual that is left after necessary obligations are met to work, sleep, eat, and maintain personal hygiene; it is discretionary time to be used as one chooses.)
