Abstract

In 2015, most of university students chose to have a vacation in their home country (75.1%). Before students decided where to go on vacation they had identified their needs. In doing so they took into consideration opinions of other people (friends – 35.9%, family – 26%) or information provided by different sources (the Internet – 79.7%). The departure on vacation was preceded by long lasting preparations: month long (20.4%), three months long (18.2% ) and one year long (1.5%). This stage of arrangements was spent on taking actions to increase the quality and comfort of a vacation (46.5%), saving time (52.6%) and decreasing the costs (50.4%). Upon choosing to go on vacation most students were motivated by the desire to satisfy their needs for relax (51.0%). Another factor determining the choice of vacation destination was esthetics of the destination place (59.3%) and recommendations of friends (53.8%). Young people stated that they did not want to have a company of different groups of tourists, mainly school children(30.3%), families with children (20.6%) or elderly people (17.8%).
