Tourism: New Destination of Global Business Environment
Original language description
In the last few decades, the tourism industry has been transformed into a global business. On one hand, tourism has become a mass service causing considerable changes in the world economy, but on the other hand this massive, often uncoordinated industrial boom may have caused social, economic and ecological damages. Based on WTO statistics, tourism, as a part of a tertiary economic sector, is a leading industry in the European Union as well. European Commission for Business and Industry statistics prove that tourism accounts for more than 5% of GDP in the EU-27. (EUROSTAT, 2012) Moreover tourism accounts for 11% of the worlds' GDP. Yet, this strong economic influence also has had negative results, which each destination should endeavour to reduce or eliminate. In response, the governmental bodies of some states have strategically started to embrace sustainability rules and indicators to coordinate and manage their destination. Such rules and indicators designed for monitoring and evaluating the tourism industry are helping to increase the value of destinations and to preserve them for future generations. This paper argues for the necessity of sustainability within the tourism industry and its measurement and outlines a proposal of sustainability indicator development methodology that will comprise the core for future research soon implemented in a concrete facility classified according to CZ NACE in a concrete region of the Czech Republic
