Abstract

The number of international tourists is growing continuously since statistical sources exist. This growth, which has not only been quantitative, but spatial too, has been accompanied by market segmentation performed according to the motivations. Among these segments there is hunting tourism, which has showed significant growth in last years due to the interest that hunting trophies have aroused. This growth is associated with the mobility of a significant percentage of hunters in Europe and the United States, with the existence of a wide variety of game species in the world distributed irregularly over the territory and the development of a network of companies which participate in the commercialization of the game.
