METHODOLOGY OF PROVIDING A BALANCE BETWEEN ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMICAL ASPECTS OF TOURISM: SUSTAINABLE TOURISM EXPERIENCE

Аннотация

Tourism has already become an industry that can have a significant impact on the world economy. In many countries, it is the leading sector of the economy. This is due to the fact that the tourism industry has a wide range of services and can influence almost all sectors. While its economic benefits, such as income and employment, are often taken into account, its damage to the environment is often overlooked. Unplanned and uncontrolled tourism will become an unsolvable problem in the future at the national level, and then at the global level. Putting nature at risk in exchange for temporary economic benefits can be a huge obstacle to the future. Sustainable economic benefits are achieved through the creation and implementation of sustainable tourism measures in each country. This preserves not only nature but also historical and cultural heritage, as well as the formation of similar concepts in society, such as environmental care, ecological culture. There are three interrelated aspects of sustainable tourism: environmental, socio-cultural and economic. Sustainable tourism manages these three important aspects and strikes a balance between them. The result is long-lasting and sustainable economic benefits, the natural environment, and socio-cultural ties. Sustainability itself means permanence, rational use of resources, conservation of biological diversity, minimizing the damage of all economic, cultural and natural consequences, while maximizing the protection of the local population and the environment, as well as structural governance to achieve results. This thesis proposes a potential methodology to balance the ecological and economic aspects of tourism through sustainable tourism criteria. The thesis consists of five parts, in which the relationship between environment and tourism: pros and cons, the relationship between economy and tourism, economic impacts of tourism, how to balance the effects: proposed methodological solution and conclusion.
