Innovative Approaches to Sustainable Tourism Assessment in Academic Cities of the Silesian Voivodeship

Original language description

This study aims to explore sustainable tourism management strategies by integrating qualitative and quantitative methodologies.

The study involves three main stakeholder groups: local residents, tourists, and experts representing travel agencies and academia.
