Overtouristed! Overtourism in large-size specially protected areas of the Czech republic
Müllerová, Eva ; Rynda, Ivan (advisor) ; Lehečka, Michal (referee)
The Master thesis' central theme is the phenomenon of Overtourism. It compares its status in three large-size specially protected areas: The Krkonoše Mountains National Park, Bohemian Paradise Protected Landscape Area and Třeboň Basin Protected Landscape Area. Based on interviews with representatives of the protected areas administrations and with tourists, the thesis aims to describe and analyze central conflicts of a nature- based active lifestyle and nature protection, as well as to identify the impacts of increasing tourism on the fragile ecosystems of the protected areas. Increased attention is given to the differences between pre-pandemic and pandemic situation. The empirical research combines several methods: semi-structured interviews with both sides of the conflict, participant observation in the field and the analysis of materials such as relevant legislation and regulations of tourism. This thesis hopes to contribute to the state of knowledge by its thorough description of the issue in the three analyzed areas; and by creating a typology of tourists coming to the protected areas which could be applied in future tourism management. Based on its conclusions, the thesis also drafts measures for future tourism management of given areas designed to mitigate the conflict situation.

Marketingový průzkum názoru veřejnosti na rozsah a intenzitu využívání krajiny ve Zlínském kraji
Holzner, Petr
The aim of the thesis is a marketing survey of public opinion on the extent and intensity of landscape utilization in the Zlín region. More specifically, we deal with public confusion about land use, public and private greenery, and fisheries, forestry, nesting, bioenergy and nature conservation. Citizen's views were identified using questionnaires and the results were processed into tables and charts. The results show that people in the Zlin region are generally interested in the landscape around itself and its use. Residents of smaller towns and villages are more interested in using land, forestry and hunting. People living in cities, on the other hand, deal mainly with the issue of urban greening.

The importance of tourism to the socioeconomic development in Ghana
Ampofo, Margaret
Tourism is increasingly becoming a powerful tool for economic development and job creation worldwide. African countries, such as Ghana have recently seen toursim as a viable sector and invested in the industry to generate revenue for growth and development. This research examines the importance of tourism sector in Ghana. Also, the study identifies the prominent tourist destination sites in the country. To achieve the aims of the research, a qualitative research method of content analysis are used. In essence, the study was largely dependent on secondary sources, and it is substantially descriptive in nature.The tourism industry in Ghana has over the years seen a lot of development and advancement in that, it is gradually becoming the principal industry that contributes immensely to the GDP of the country as well as providing job opportunities for the local inhabitants. Also, the study identified Kakum National Park, Cape-Coast/Elmina Castles, Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, Kumasi Zoo and Wli Waterfalls as the most prominent tourist destination sites in Ghana although these sites have not been developed to meet the global standard. The study also established that the only policy in place for the protection of the tourist sites was deficient in addressing the maintenance needs of the sites nevertheless, Ghana has prospects and potentials to develop its tourism industry. The main challenges facing the country’s tourism sector are poor management and lack of maintenance not just on the part of the tourism operators but also with the state with regards to improper allocation of the “national cake” or state’s resources towards the proper maintainance and development the various tourist destination sites. Another major challenge is the lack of collaboration between the private tourist operators and the state in organising attractive tourist packages but less expensive to attract and entice tourists both locally and international to boost the growth of the industry.
