Abstract

The subject of this paper is tourist motivation, i.e. the reasons that encourage people to
travel. The motive is always aimed at achieving a certain goal. In tourism, when making a travel
decision, the internal stimuli of the person for tourist movement play an important role, but also
the motives created under the influence of the society in which he lives. According to the data from
the State Statistical Office (SSO), the most frequently visited tourist destinations in the Republic of
North Macedonia (RNM) are the lakes, followed by the city of Skopje, the mountain ranges, spas,
and other destinations with the lowest percentage. An electronically conducted survey of five
questions by a group of 54 respondents confirmed that the lakes are the most frequently chosen
destination (42.5%), most often the tourist destination needs to offer recreation and clean air
(37%) but still, the prices are crucial for the choice of destination (40.6%). According to the results
of the survey, it can be concluded that there is a discrepancy between theory and practice, i.e. one
is the desires and the other is the possibilities.
