This<br> underdevelopment of rural tourism serves as a motivation for this<br> study whose aim is to examine the factors affecting the perceived<br> satisfaction of rural tourists. The objectives of this study are: to<br> identify and design theories and models on rural tourism satisfaction,<br> and to empirically validate these models and theories through a<br> survey of tourists from the Malealea Lodge which is located in the<br> Mafeteng District, in the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho.

However, the development of rural tourism compared to urban tourism is also faced with several challenges added to the disadvantages of rural tourism. The aim of this study is to design a model of the factors affecting the motivations of rural tourists, in an attempt to improve the understanding of rural tourism motivation for the development of that form of tourism. The proposed model is based on a sound theoretical framework. It was designed following a literature review of tourism motivation theoretical frameworks and of rural tourism motivation factors. The tourism motivation theoretical framework that fitted to the best all rural tourism motivation factors was then chosen as the basis for the proposed model. This study hence found that the push and pull tourism motivation framework and the inner and outer directed values theory are the most adequate theoretical frameworks for the modeling of rural to...
