    It is generally admitted opinión that the tourist act ¡s a motivated act. The «motivation» or, if you wish, the «causality», signifies the influence of the cause over its effects and the relation founded on that influence. As far as the causes of the tourist act are concerned, we classify them as «determinants» or «¡nfluences». Among the first let us cite the desire for escape, as the primary cause, as a substitute for the liberty lost due to the everyday greater intervention of the State; the facility of having more free time, understanding this in the sense of the Frenen word «loisir», pointing out that it is necessary to distinguish it from work as well as from a simple diversión, without forgetting the note of «security» which is indispensable, and, finally, the increase ¡n the standard of living. As far as the «influencing» factors are concerned, we can say that tourism is a structural phe nomenon conditioned by a series of geographical, natural, cultural and socio-economical factors:

    monuments, desire for rest, intellectual pursuit, attempts at human and social contacts on the part of the man of today, without any limitation.
