The main objective of this course is to introduce students to the selective (specific) forms of tourism, both those that are related to activities on vacation, and those related to their contents during the stay at a chosen destination. Students will get an insight into the specifics of particular forms of tourism trends as well as their impact on the entire economic and business development of the country. Students will learn what forms of tourism are still in the early stages of its development, and which are yet to be created as a result of changes in the domestic and international tourism market, as well as a result of changes in lifestyle, which cause changes in the organization of holidays such as eco-tourism, rural, sports etc. It should be noted that the goal of this course is make students reflect on the need to expand tourism in practice, by encouraging certain forms of tourism-specific destination.
