He made it possible to establish a close relationship between the respondents’ and the amount of money allocated for one day of rest, average monthly income and the type of tourism (in geopolitical space), the frequency and duration of trips abroad, as well as the diversity of countries that are favored by tourists. There is also a close relationship between the age of respondents and the duration of travel abroad, the choice of countries for travel and regions of the world, as well as factors that are the benefits of resting abroad.
