Abstract

For successful animation of visitors, animators must perform very complex, demanding, and dynamic tasks.
Professional performance of tasks implies the need for an animator to be a complete person. This means that he/she
not only must have a sound education, but also have to be specialized for certain activities. There are different types
of animators so that their diversity mirrors the success of the hotel. Animators must have certain basic physical and
psychological characteristics. So, despite the knowledge and experience, animators must have inherent
characteristics such as talent, humour, to be friendliness, and so on. Sense of humour and ability to work with
people are two important characteristics of a successful animator. Many hotels need animators who can entertain
tourists and make their stay memorable resort experience, which will be a reason for return of tourists. One of the
key factors for tourism success is animator. Today, the whole tourism sector is based on animation of the tourists.
The purpose of this paper is to show the role of the animator in enriching the content of tourist stay. To successfully
execute the animation to the tourists, animators must meet certain characteristics which will be analysed in this
paper. In this research will be used methods of analysis of scientific literature on the impact of animation on
enrichment of tourist stay. The research stems from the fact that animation is one of the most important
animation-motivational factors for the development of tourism.
