Tourism is a recognized factor in the development of the socio-economic level of regions and, as a cross-cutting sector of the economy, brings positive effects not only directly in the tourism industry across the sectors of the tourism industry, but also in the supply sectors, and its induced effects across the sectors of the national economy are also obvious.
The textbook is created by an international team of authors from six countries – Poland, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Portugal, North Macedonia and Slovakia. The publication deals with selected economic aspects of the development of tourism in the region regarding the measurement of the economic benefits of tourism, the impact of tourism on regional development and economic growth, focusing, among other things, on regions with a low socio-economic level, the importance of investments in the reconstruction of cultural monument and a separate chapter is dedicated to the spatial differentiation of tourism. A part of each chapter is its short description, educational goals are defined and at the end questions from the given issue are formulated.
The textbook is primarily intended for university students in study programs focused on tourism and regional development. It can be an interesting publication and source material for the further education of professional workers at the level of local or regional self-government with competencies in the development of tourism, as well as for destination management organizations and other regional organizations involved in the tourism sector. Finally, tourism development managers at the national level can find a meaningful framework for their activities in the texts.
