Choice of destination, accommodation and transportation in times of economic crisis

The aim of paper is to examine the influence of the global economic crisis on the choice of destination, accommodation and transport during 2009. The influence of the economic crisis on world tourism has been analysed by using Istria as an example of a tourist destination and on the basis of the results of a study carried out during the tourist season 2009 along the Istrian coast. The results show that tourists visiting Istria believe that the economic crisis did not have a great impact on their choice of Istria as their vacation destination nor did it, in their opinion, influence the choice of transportation. The results of this paper can be useful to tourist and transport organizations and management as helpful data source for taking into consideration all potential implications of the economic crisis, the consequences of which will have a negative impact even on the following tourist season.
