“…The authors concluded that tourists over the age 50 travel to renew their social life, discover new places and acquire knowledge, learn about new cultures, while tourists under the age 18 are motivated by the need to socialize with local people and shop. The results of the research are in line with the conclusions in the study by Tracz and Bajgier-Kowalska (2019). The authors found that younger tourists (up to 29 years old) visit cities to participate in entertainment activities with other people and for education, while the older population (30-59 years old) is motivated by business, visits to relatives, sightseeing, health motives, etc.…”

“…Although this topic is explored from different types of destinations and forms of tourism (Battour et al, 2017;Chi et al, 2020;Dryglas, Salamaga, 2018;Garms et al, 2017;Hashim et al, 2019;Rittichainuwat, Rattanaphinanchai, 2015), it is still not sufficiently analyzed from the perspective of urban destinations. (Almeida, Silva, Amoêdo, 2019;Božić et al, 2017b;López-Guzmán et al, 2019;Pulido-Fernández, Cárdenas-García, Carrillo-Hidalgo, 2016;Smith et al, 2022;Tracz, Bajgier-Kowalska, 2019;Zhang, Mao, Qu, 2004), such conclusions were not drawn from this study. A significant number of studies have proven the influence of demographic characteristics on travel motivation (Aziz et al, 2018;Blešić et al, 2014;Carvache-Franco et al, 2020;Moniz et al, 2020;Saayman, Saayman, 2009).…”

“…Wyniki badań do pewnego stopnia są zgodne z wcześniej przeprowadzonymi studiami dotyczącymi motywacji podróżowania do miast. (Almeida, Silva, Amoêdo, 2019;Božić i in., 2017b;López-Guzmán i in., 2019;Pulido-Fernández, Cárdenas-García, Carrillo-Hidalgo, 2016;Smith i in., 2022;Tracz, Bajgier-Kowalska, 2019;Zhang, Mao, Qu, 2004), takie wnioski nie zostały wyciągnięte w tej pracy. Wiele analiz udowodniło wpływ cech demograficznych na motywacje podróży (Aziz i in., 2018;Blešić i in., 2014;Carvache-Franco i in., 2020;Moniz i in., 2020;Saayman, Saayman, 2009).…”

The aim of this article is to examine travel motivations for visiting urban destinations in the Republic of Serbia. Differences among the travel motives according to tourists’ demographic characteristics were also analyzed. The research was conducted from June 2018 to July 2019 on tourists who visited urban destinations in Serbia (Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš and Kragujevac). The analysis included 390 valid answers from respondents. The research results, which are presented in the article, have shown that tourists visit urban destinations in Serbia for business, education, family and sightseeing. The contribution of this study is reflected in the identification of key travel motives for visiting urban destinations in Serbia and this can help those preparing a tourist offer to adjust their services to the needs and requirements of such tourists.

“…The increase in arrivals from China and South Korea was very rapid. The reason was the increasing interest of Asian tourists in Czech cities, cultural and historical monuments, and spas (Tracz and Bajgier-Kowalska, 2019;Tyslová et al 2020). The growing number of direct flights to Korea and China had a positive impact on tourism.…”

Our paper aims at scrutinizing and evaluating the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on international and domestic tourism in the Czech Republic. Our methodology includes the analysis of empirical and statistical data provided by the statistical agencies that stems from the systematic and holistic literature review. The empirical research includes analysis and comparison of time series of economic indicators. The paper evaluates two groups of statistical indicators. The first group consists of domestic and inbound tourism in the Czech Republic. The second area of research is the analysis of the hotel sector in the Prague region. The analysis of the hotel industry focuses on the development of the following internationally used economic indicators: average daily rate, occupancy, and revenue per available room. Our results reveal that there were significant effects of the coronavirus pandemic both on the inbound and the domestic tourism which brought about a plethora of social and economic implications such as the decrease in the average occupancy of hotel rooms or the revenues for the tourism and hospitality sector. As a result of the pandemic, the tourism structure in the Czech Republic has changed significantly with the institutions of tourism undegoing serious transformational and structural changes that might take lots of time to revert and to mitigate by the relevant tourism authorities, stakeholders, and policymakers.

Kraje Europy Środkowej od lat dziewięćdziesiątych XX wieku są jednym z rozwijających się regionów turystycznych w Europie. Turystyka dla wielu miast tego regionu jest ważnym czynnikiem rozwoju społecznego i gospodarczego. Celem podjętego studium było ukazanie zmian w ruchu turystycznym, infrastrukturze turystycznej oraz profilu turysty odwiedzającego miasta państw Grupy Wyszehradzkiej (V4). Analizę przeprowadzono dla stolic państw (Bratysława, Budapeszt, Praga, Warszawa) oraz miast, których znaczenie turystyczne wzrosło w ostatnich latach (Kraków, Brno, Koszyce, Debreczyn). W analizie wykorzystano powszechnie stosowane wskaźniki intensywności ruchu turystycznego. W celu uchwycenia zmian badania przeprowadzono dla dwóch okresów – 2010 i 2018. W pracy wykorzystano dane statystyczne zaczerpnięte z krajowych i lokalnych baz danych. Badania wykazały wzrost liczby turystów we wszystkich analizowanych miastach. W przypadku miast stołecznych najwyższy wzrost liczby turystów był w Bratysławie (94%) i Budapeszcie (72%). W miastach niebędących stolicami najwyższa dynamika wzrostu ruchu turystycznego wystąpiła w Debreczynie (200%) i Koszycach (100%). W miastach tych na wzrost liczby turystów wpływ miał przede wszystkim napływ turystów krajowych. Obliczone wskaźniki intensywności ruchu turystycznego potwierdziły znaczącą pozycję Pragi, Budapesztu i Krakowa w ruchu turystycznym krajów Grupy V4. Wartości wskaźnika Baretje’a i Deferta wskazują, że w żadnym z analizowanych miast turystyka nie ma dominującej funkcji.
