Abstract

In their free time or during their summer holidays, people want to relax, unwind, relax, recharge. Spending useful leisure time, gaining experience, recreation, and health awareness are increasingly appearing in the factors that influence people’s choice of resort. As these appear as a demand during the holidays, its effect is also present in the choice of tourist destinations. In our research, we examined the extent to which people prefer certain services (various water services, health, medical, leisure, and other services) during their summer vacations, and based on what they choose the location. Our aim is to examine the extent to which the presence of these elements influences respondents ’decisions on the choice of destination during their holidays. We used a pre-tested questionnaire during the quantitative procedure, in which our questions related To the present research were only a small part of the complex study. Only residents living in the Northern Great Plain region participated in the research, 270 people. 28.9% of the sample are male and 71.1% are female. Our results showed that although the motivations of the subjects differed, they nevertheless have something in common. One of these is the existence of water and water services. The proximity of the water (sea, medicinal water, beach, etc.) to the material, value for money, attractions, experience, cultural program opportunities, opportunities for recreation and leisure activities are important considerations in choosing a destination.
