Information as a tool for visitor management in destination (České Budějovice)
VARGOVÁ, Lucie
The main goal of this bachelor thesis was to analyze the information resources and how it is used in management of visitors flow. Further analyze how guides in the destination work with the information and their impact on the flow of visitors due to sustainable development of destination. To achieve this goal, an analysis and evaluation of information sources were made, specifically analysis of the free time section on the official website of České Budějovice and analysis of currently available flyers. The analyzes were based on a qualitative evaluation of ten observers. Then structured interviews with eleven professionals were held (tour guides and head of department of tourism in ČB). The results showed that destination has got a high quality information resources, which help with management of visitors flow. The qualitative research revealed that most of the guides in ČB tend to overlook the importance of sustainable development of tourism in destination and they do not put an effort into informing their clients about ways to sustain tourism. The tour guides underestimate the significance of sustainability of tourism development because of the lack of concern about the negative impact of their activities on the destination. Following these findings, proposals for improvement of tour guides work with information and tour services were made.
