This article discusses the theoretical bases of tourist behaviour. Only by knowing the fundamentals of tourist behaviour, as well as knowing how to observe and measure them, can we effectively plan offers and other sales activities in tourism. Theoretical foundations are crucial in empirical research/the measurements of tourist behaviour, as they reveal the concepts that should be measured, and usually also the ways to measure them. This article summarises the key features and useful values of theories that were most frequently tested in the context of tourism, as well as those that include concepts relevant to the behaviour of consumers in the context of tourism.

COBISS.SI-ID: 1540091844With respect to its current situation and development opportunities, tourism is becoming one of Slovenia’s leading industries. In line with market globalisation and investors’ need to use comparable accounting statements, tourism needs to follow the path of harmonisation of accounting solutions and use of uniform accounting standards. To this end, all Western European countries and many other countries globally have adopted a uniform system for monitoring and documenting business results in the lodging industry – USALI (Uniform System Of Accounts For The Lodging Industry, 2014). The Slovenian hotel industry has yet to implement this methodology, since its statistical monitoring of economic categories and its statements of accounts are not yet harmonised with international standards; however, certain developmental processes that will enable implementation have been commenced. The course of implementation of methodology will strongly depend on Slovenian accounting standards and information technology, which must enable capturing of complete source data, and based on this, USALI-based reporting. For the purpose of this research, the essential guidelines of the USALI methodology were implemented in the Datalab Pantheon accounting software with the aim of identifying the weaknesses and advantages of the Pantheon information system, as well as draft proposals for the system's improvement and easier implementation.
