CITY TOURISM - ECONOMIC PROSPECTS
Keywords:
city tourism, economic dimensions, trendsAbstract
The city is a collection of material, social and political components and it is the center of our traditions. Most of the population on the Earth lives and works in cities and travels to other cities during their free time. In addition, urban tourism resources create opportunities for significant economic effects by increasing tourism revenue, the number of overnights and providing higher employment. And as society is constantly changing, cities are trying to adapt and meet the needs of residents and visitors.References
