How to wank princesses
Schättingerová, Nataly ; Houdek, Vladimír (referee) ; Homola, Ondřej (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis, entitled How to annoy princesses, deals with some aspects of tourism, as it manifests itself in crowded historical monuments. The personal experience of tour guide at Kost Castle offers me a perspective on the issue, with which I emphasize the common interest of the "mouflons" (i.e. castle visitors) for spectacle and sensations (fables, myths, Czech fairy tales, ghosts), which often wins over the interest in history itself. I capture the atmosphere of commercialized monuments in a grotesque way that is close to me. The goal of the work is to set a mirror to the public and ideally to stir up a debate about the decline of visitors' interest in the professional aspects of guiding or the state of the monuments themselves. The series of figurative medium-format oil paintings, supplemented by audio processing untrue facts, untrue stories and myths, indirectly follows on the book The Last Aristocrat written by Evžen Boček , which deals with a similar theme.

Use of Oral History in Tourism
Vacek, Zbyněk ; Mücke, Pavel (advisor) ; Houda, Přemysl (referee)
(English) The aim of this diploma thesis is to introduce possibilities of oral history, specifically its elements and principles, into services included in tourism. The theoretical part states the essential terms and definitions used in this thesis concerning oral history and tourism. This part also includes a vision of using oral history and its elements within the field of tourism. The empiric part shows the current use of oral history in tourism giving specific examples and supports them by interviews with narrators who work in Open-Air Museum of Mining and a travel agency and their interpretation. A few pages of the empiric part are dedicated for a research of tourist's demand for services in tourism that include oral history elements and a SWOT analysis of integrating oral history into tourism services including tourist guiding and other supplementary services in tourism. The aim is to introduce the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of this integration. The diploma thesis also notices the understudying of both tourism and oral history in connection with each other and shows the potential of such connection with the benefits for both subjects, travel agencies' clients and visitors to sights such as museums or open-air museums. Keywords: Oral history, tourism, narrator in tourism,...

Survey of Audio Guide Use in the Czech Republic
Sobotka, Ondřej ; Jarolímková, Liběna (advisor) ; Vaško, Martin (referee)
The thesis deals with an audio guide service. In general terms, it is divided into both theoretical and empiric part. The theoretical part consists of two chapters where the first one outlines tour guiding while the second one describes city tourism. The empiric part, as in the third chapter, opens up with an overview of some of the major companies providing the audio guide service in the Czech Republic. A list of prices of the actual price of each item is also included. The following chapter provides a comprehensive list of tourist sites as in which the audio guide has already been successfully put in use. The thesis concludes with the last chapter featuring a survey which primarily aims to find out whether the service has generally sunk in or not and what the general public awareness of the phenomenon actually is.
