| Abstract: | Tourists are among the least understood collectivities, despite their ubiquitousness and still growing number worldwide. The purpose of this paper is to place the tourist, the subject of the tourism phenomenon, in the centre in order to construct a tourist model composed of six integrated components. The model is intended not only to facilitate an understanding of the tourist himself, but also to lead to the development of an expanded model of tourism as a phenomenon. These two models identify and label several areas for systemic research. Together they provide context for re-examination of the past research findings, design of new planning and marketing applications, and formation of a body of knowledge in tourism. |
