Abstract
This article analyses the theoretical foundations of consumer choice and equilibrium, emphasising the multifaced factors that influence consumer behaviour. Key factors such as individual preferences, income levels, pricing of goods and services, social media trends, advertising strategies, brand perception, and cultural influences are examined. The study aims to provide a comprehensive theoretical analysis of consumer choice theory, while identifying constraints like budget limitations, price fluctuations and substitution effects that impact decision-making. Furthermore, it explores consumer equilibrium within economic theory and its interplay with
various influencing variables. Recent market trends are investigated through scientific methodologies related to preferences, utility maximisation, income changes, and behavioural economics. Finally, the findings are contextualised within the sustainable tourism sector. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of consumer dynamics in contemporary markets, and offers insights for policymakers and businesses aiming for sustainability in their practices.
