Characteristics of landscape tourism motives
Characteristics of landscape tourism motives

Summary/Abstract: Although being widespread elements of tourism offer, landscapes are not sufficiently researched, particularly in comparison to other cultural tourism motives. Landscape elements are either tangible or intangible, and their presence and combination determine the landscape character and its particular type. They have a polyvalent effect, which makes them complex tourism motives, but at the same time impedes their differentiation and conditions their complementary character. Aesthetic attractive attributes are primarily, but not exclusively, linked to natural landscapes. Recreational attributes of a landscape are specific for not being linked to a physical geographical agent, but a visual one instead. Rarity attributes are especially present in cultural landscapes. Prominent attributes are present in historical battlefields landscapes, those which inspired famous works of art, and urban landscapes with featured prominent elements.
