The tourist is increasingly interested in the region as a source of material culture and nature and demands tailor-made holidays that match their specific expectations. Tourists moreover are increasingly well informed and aware of how they approach participation and what their social and ethical responsibilities are. Satisfaction must therefore be understood holistically, and that depends on the ability to offer alternatives in terms of greater enjoyability, pleasure and expectations.
