About article:
Natural resources are major resources for tourism. Nature-based tourism is one of the tourism forms with an increasing appeal. Camping tourism is an important part of nature-based tourism and it plays a significant role in domestic tourism, representing approximately 10% of total tourist nights in the EU, though countries differ to a great extent. The decision to choose a camping holiday depends on the tourists’ preferences and values. The aim of the paper is to identify the extent to which national cultural traits and environmental consciousness influence the domestic demand for camping holidays. The paper demonstrates by way of multiple regression analysis of 25 EU countries in 7 years (2012 – 2018) that this decision is correlated to Hofstede’s 6 national cultural dimensions and national income levels, while the environmental awareness of the population does not have any significant influence on it.
