Abstract

Sustable tourism is not considered as a form of tourism. The category „sustainable tourism” is an axiological category. The concept of „sustainable tourism” has the status of a universal idea. In the sustainable tourism model, social, economic and aesthetic needs are emphasized. They are not distributed symmetrically between groups of tourism subjects. Sustainable tourism, considered as a model for the whole tourism, must include the right to limit development and forms of tourism in the name of preserving exceptional and universal human goods. Essential for the problem of sustainable tourism seems to be the question: Is sustainable tourism adapted to the principles of modern civilization, or is it a model of action that will bring about change in the social space of the present? Keywords relating to the fair and equitable sharing of income from tourism have an overtone both social and political, in the discovery of many revolutionary ideologies. The idea of sustainable tourism indicates the link between the possibilities of meeting the universal need for travel and the need to preserve the world these travels take place. The concept of sustainable tourism seems to be a social ethos that accentuates the kind of solidarity of a man who takes responsibility for his social order and the acquired cultural and natural heritage. An important issue for the tourism development seems to be the nature of orthodoxy sustainability.

Keywords:

sustainable tourism, the subject of tourism activities, tourism axiology, social sustainability
