Tourism planning according to the man and the space

Abstract

The current domestic and foreign tourism in our country and in the world is developing in significant natural, rural and urban areas. As such, it is of interest for numerous research endeavours, operational activities and appropriate spatial and social planning in accordance with current legislation and established views on environmental sustainability. In places, regions and countries receptive to tourism, where tourism develops on the basis of tradition and respect for local and regional characteristics, the highest possible harmonisation and planning of development with existing natural and anthropogenic values is required, with particular attention to the views of modern ecology and anthropogeography on the unity of nature, man and society. The planning of modern domestic and international tourism in all its forms must always and everywhere be based on scientifically proven foundations and realistic social reality. The planning of tourism development must always and everywhere be aimed at achieving economic and social effects, i.e. directly at the economic component, since the income from tourism as a type of activity in the sense of unmanageable exports is significant for the country's balance of payments. The need for tourism development planning in harmony with people and nature is emphasised by a number of good experts in this field. Among them, the German sociologist Jost Krippendorf stands out, whose views are often quoted as expressing the need to respect the local and traditional over the universal when it comes to planning the overall tourism activities in a given area. Also of interest are the recommendations of the World Tourism Organisation, which are addressed to the member countries of this leading organisation in the field of tourism and travel (Krippendorf, 1986).
