Abstract

Abstract. One of the development trends of the hotel industry is the increasing emphasis on the environmental aspects of this market segment. Tourism, taking into account environmental factors, does not only guarantee the maintenance of a high level of tourist product, but also the preservation of, if possible, intact natural environment, which is its core value.
