Abstract: This study examines tourists' expenditure in the context of Russian resort destinations. The findings indicate that the income and age of travellers, as well as type of accommodation, party size, length of stay, distance travelled, sources for payment, travel organization mode and satisfaction rate are significant factors affecting travellers' expenditure. The impact of some of these factors was not directly evident, but manifested itself through the duration of stay. Tourists' spending patterns were different in the various resorts studied. The main hypotheses of the study were confirmed using structural equation modelling.
