Contributions of Geocaching as a tourism product in South Bohemia
ŠVECOVÁ, Denisa
This bachelor thesis focuses on Geocaching which is a leisure activity, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS - enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache hidden at that location. In the theoretical part, specific terms concerning destination in tourism, modern technologies and Geocaching and its influence on tourism are explained. As the key point of the practical part was established the serie of five thematic caches RIO16 that symbolize the number of circles in the emblem of the Olympic Games and through which it was possible to track consumer behaviour of Geocaching players in tourism on this particular example. Based on the foundation of the serie was created questionnaire. At the end of the thesis the new tourism product called "Baroque Treasures of South Bohemia" is proposed based on the proven fact that Geocaching has positive impact on tourism. This is another thematic serie of caches created to raise awareness about the important Baroque monuments of South Bohemia. Based on the data analysed in this thesis, it is assumed that a new serie of caches will encourage attendance of Geocaching players who are willing to travel for caches, pay for the provided tourist attractions during the hunt and use tourism products of the South Bohemia.
