Geocaching in the Czech Republic and India with a Focus on Selected Aspects – Comparative Study

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The article deals with a multidisciplinary phenomenon called geocaching. Various aspects of geocaching form the core of this paper. The aim of the paper is to map current situation in geocaching and location of caches in the Czech Republic and India, to be precise in the city of Hradec Králové, Prague and New Delhi. The first sub-goal is to compare occurrence of various kinds of caches in two cities and give a real illustrative example of geocaching activity. The other sub-goal is to compare both countries according to the Networked Readiness Index (NRI). The findings are accompanied by tables and figures. In spite of the fact that India is so many times larger than the Czech Republic the occurrence of caches is small. In Hradec Králové with less than 100,000 people there are more caches than in the whole India. India still hasn´t found the potential of geocaching for the promotion of sustainable tourism and development of the economics.
