Summary/Abstract: The sharing economy is an innovative business model that is becoming increasingly widespread in today's world. This article examines the changes brought about by the application of the sharing economy in tourism. Special attention is paid to the extent to which this business model contributes to the development of society and what its value is. The main objective of the article is to characterize and clarify, in a retrospective and contemporary perspective, the application of the sharing economy in tourism, and against this background to systematize the areas in which this business model brings value to society. The sharing economy is constantly evolving, and the basic principles of the model, such as the more efficient use of available resources and the transition from ownership to mutual sharing platforms, correspond to the concept of sustainable development and its values.
