Senior tourism
Slavík, Lukáš ; Vágner, Jiří (advisor) ; Klufová, Renata (referee)
This diploma thesis analyzes the senior tourism, its development, status, structure and perceptions of accommodation facility owners. We used leisure development and the evolution of older people (55 years and 65 years) for the theoretical framing theory. We also used development funds and the theory of subjective and real age for better explaining the actual trends. The methodology of thesis was based on a survey, informal interviews and email survey. A questionnaire survey was conducted on two levels. The first aims directly at senior citizens (240 respondents) and the second at the owners of accommodation facilities. An important source of information was informal conversation among the elderly. These interviews helped to clarify and to explain phenomena that were discovered in surveys. Another source of information was planned as a telephone poll of travel agents. However, for fear of misuse of data and retaining its "know-how" there were no results and this method of information obtaining was avoided. A very important source of information were reviews of Czech and foreign literature. Finally, I used and Internet sources. The objectives of work include efforts to determine how the senior tourism is structured, whether it helps to balance the marginal tourist season. An additional goal was to try to...

Kuncová, Klára ; Vágner, Jiří (advisor) ; Opatrný, Josef (referee)
Biodiversity conservation is one of environmental topics of our times. It's important to use the foreign cooperation to develop the Sustainable Development concept especially for developing countries where the biological variety is the richest. Chile started to take part in the international biodiversity projects in the 1980's and since 1990's is ever more active in this matter. Chile is now being signatary of all main global agreements, free trade agreements where environmental cooperation is stated and cooperates with other countries in the region. Chile, though, has certain problems in fulfilling the obligations implying from the signed agreements. Biggest flaws are found especially in the law abidance control. There is successful multilateral regional cooperation. In order to begin effective bilateral environmental cooperation is first important to resolve the long term arguments especially with Peru and Bolivia. This text brings summary of development and current Chilean biodiversity status in Czech. It also presents documents, multi- and bilateral projects of foreign cooperation which take part in improving Chilean biodiversity situation.

Political-Military Risks for Tourism in the Middle East
Krajňák, Tomáš ; Vágner, Jiří (advisor) ; Jelen, Libor (referee)
Political-Military Risks for Tourism in the Middle East Abstract The master's thesis analyses the perception of political-military risks for incoming tourism in the Middle East from the perspective of Czech potential tourists. The examined area of the Middle East bears some geographic and geopolitical ideas, that are still absent in the Czech scientific milieu. Tourism in the Middle East also operates in the environment of political-military risks. Scholarly literature suggests that these risks represent one of the main factors influencing the choice of destination. The paper deepens understanding of this relationship by focusing on the perception of political-military risks in space, in terms of their typological diversity, and analyses determinants of this perception. The main research tool, a questionnaire, served to collect data that was analysed through descriptive statistics and statistical inference, as a paired t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and correlation analysis. The findings are mostly in consensus with theoretical knowledge and previous studies. Individual types of political- military risks showed different impact on the perception for realization of tourism. A statistically significant difference exists between violent and non-violent political-military risks. In some cases, however,...
