Abstract

Tourism is one of the fastest growing and changing industries globally but can „selfie tourism“ be part of this change and in the future to be established as a business niche in the field of alternative tourism or it will remain just a fashionable hobby without significant economic effect is a question that concerns a number of researchers. A modern way to express yourself, a function of the advancement in the new technology or the next touristic phenomenon - it is still too early to say but still some main accents can be outlined.
