Аспекти на устойчивото туристическо развитие
Aspects of Sustainable Tourism Development

Summary/Abstract: Building a sustainable society is a serious challenge for governments, who play a major role in promoting it, setting policies that change the view that one must pursue economic growth at all costs. Tourism is a complex phenomenon that involves a variety of variables and relationships. It is understood as an activity of fundamental importance to society and one of the main factors of human interaction and integration, (political, cultural and economic), in a world increasingly globalized in all its aspects. Sustainable tourism development considers cultural authenticity, economic impact, social inclusion, environmental protection, service quality and local government capacity as conditions essential to the long-term viability of tourism. Tourism sustainability depends on the planning and implementation of key aspects that support it. The aspects to be taken into account are: economic, socio-cultural and political-institutional simultaneously. Sustainable development is progress in the political, social, economic, environmental, health, technological, cultural and recreational aspects of community life. It is related to improving the quality of life. It contains not only the material but also the immaterial aspects of life – all aspects of well-being from health status to economic well-being and political freedom. Assessments of the sustainability of tourism must be expanded and deepened in all its aspects, in parallel with the development of the tourism industry and the increase in variability and complexity of its influences. The study presented analyses the theoretical content of the concept for sustainable tourism development and its basic aspects.
