Andrea Vravcová, Ąubomír ©trba, Branislav Krąák, Alexander Černega


This research investigates the factors affecting students of primary and secondary schools in a geotourism context. Information for research has been identified by questionnaire. Visiting the geosites is most frequently related to nature-based tourism which may be considered one of the most widespread interest activities of outdoor recreation. This study provides an initial investigation into the motivation factors of students and the relationship between these motivations, factors and the behavioral intention of the students to visit a geosite. Knowledge of these factors can significantly affect effective management and planning within the development of geotourism and related tourism forms at various locations as well as geoeducation at schools.
