Impact of Globalization on the Structure of Accommodation Capacities in the Border Area of the Former Sudetenland

Original language description

This article focuses on the tourism of the Liberec region and the identification of the changes in tourism of the region over the last six years. The researched region is former Sudetenland border region, on which the impact of globalization forces on the position of the negatively historically defined territory within the tourism industry will be demonstrated. The aim of the article is to define the structure of the influx of visitors to the region as well as the relation between national structure and the development of the types of accommodation. Based on data from the Czech Statistical Office and the CzechTourism, the Index of the Internationalization of Tourism in the region was quantified. That illustrated an increasing proportion of foreign tourists to the total number of visitors of the region. Simultaneously, it was found, that there is a relationship between the influx of French tourists and the development of accommodation in the two-star category. The research discovered preferences of Slovak, Polish and German tourists to choose accommodation providing higher standards of service. Interestingly, tourists from the Netherlands, generally preferring campsites, are almost not searching for this at all, which may indicate an inadequate level of this accommodation. This article also deals with the amount of travel expenses for two selected national tourist groups of Germans and Poles. Both groups spend an identical proportion (28%) of their accommodation expenditure, which corresponds to the finding of a preference to accommodation type in the region.
