Summary/Abstract: Tourism has become the most widespread phenomenon in international relations: offering new destinations and new forms of arrangements, looking for new forms of organization, resources and strategies. Modern tourists are seeking for new forms of tourism, which have a compensatory effect in relation to the dynamic pace of modern living. Safety, health, environment and culture are considered to be factors that underlie modern tourist flows. With ghettoization and alternative tourism, the latest modern tourism trends are focused on the ecological approach to tourism, which is the most multiple appropriate perspective. The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) has developed an effective technology development of sustainability indicators at the level of tourism destinations, which helps the planning and evaluation of all aspects of sustainable tourism at different large spatial units.
