The main objective of the research is to examine the impact of ambiance on tourists' decision-making process regarding revisiting a particular destination. The focus is on identifying specific ambiance elements that most influence tourists' decisions to revisit. Additionally, different segments of tourists were investigated, including their demographic characteristics and travel motivations, to analyse differences in their perception of ambiance. Additional objectives of the research were addressed through the analysis of the relationship between ambience quality and tourist satisfaction.
