Komunitní turismus na ostrově Guimaras (Filipíny): perspektiva návštěvníků
Lasovská, Kateřina
This bachelor's thesis is based on a five-week internship in the Philippines (Guimaras Island) in April / May 2019 mediated by the Faculty of Regional Development and International Studies. The work presents the island of Guimaras and functioning community-based tourist areas on the island. It further focuses on the attitude of visitors to this island in the issue of community tourism and their preferences or willingness to participate in this type of alternative travel. The evaluation is based on a questionnaire survey of 112 respondents as well as semi-structured interviews, which took place directly with representatives of certified CBRT on the island. The results show that although tourists are willing to participate in this type of tourism, the offer does not fully meet their travel requirements, this means there is therefore room for improvement and expansion of CBRT services. Finally, the requirements and shortcomings from the perspective of tourists on the issue of community tourism on the island of Guimaras in the Philippines are summarized.
