The Structure of Tourist Motivation This paper attempts at completing some problems connected with the structure of tourist motivation. The analysis of the obtained results allowed to describe 1) the hierarchy of reasons for practising tourism by men and women; 2) the connection between the intensity level of reasons and sex; 3) the connection between the intensity level of reasons and the preferred form of tourism. The social-developmental character of the difference conditionings in this field has been mentioned. Some types of reasons responsible for the formation of various tourist motivation patterns have been identified initially, too.
