Abstract: Abstract The growth of tourism depends on the extent to which tourist appreciate offered hospitality by the host country. More generally, it is accepted that tourists are motivated to select destinations and willing to spend their money based on their personality, socio-economic and demographic characteristics and based on what the potential destination has to offer in its store; which combines both external and internal factors of tourism and hospitality in that country.
