The aim of the article is to present the spatial diversity of tourism in the countries of the European Union (EU). The main objective of the article can be divided into three immediate goals, each of which is to determine countries that are similar by means of: (1) accommodation base; (2) tourism traffic; and (3) tourism-related expenditures and revenues. In order to group countries, Ward’s cluster analysis method is used. The aim is verified with the use of 2017 United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and Eurostat data. The analysis covers all EU member states. The research conducted confirms, inter alia, the key role of the accommodation base in the development of tourism in those countries.

“…The strong increase in demand for city tourism has several causes [18] p. 453: people are taking shorter holidays but travel more often [34], low-cost carriers enable people to reach cities for affordable prices [35] and cities increase their attractiveness by organizing various events [36] as well as becoming more and more popular as a location for shopping, culture and sightseeing [37].…”

Even though overtourism became the object of extensive scientific research only three years ago, different definitions and approaches to the issue can be seen. However, it is still in the initial phase of research, and there are numerous gaps in our knowledge of the reasons and solutions to this issue. The main aim of the paper is to summarize different approaches and points of view on the overtourism issue. This includes searching for reasons of tension between tourists and visitors in particular destinations. They are presented partially in tourism literature but also in the literature dealing with urban studies, sustainable development and other areas. This aim was achieved through a literature review and the deduction method. The paper identifies several different factors that stimulate overtourism. Some of them are acknowledged in most publications. They are a growing number of tourists, new solutions in the information technologies (IT) business and the availability of cheap flights. Other factors such as management mistakes in particular destinations are underlined from time to time. Finally, some factors are expressed very rarely. They are the growing popularity of city tourism and the shift from 3S (sea, sun and sand) to 3E (education, experience, entertainment) tourism. Identification and general overview of those factors is intended to be an important contribution to the contemporary scientific knowledge on overtourism. The analysis of the factors recognized allowed to point out significant weaknesses of our contemporary knowledge on overtourism. A radical shift of the approach to the governance of cities as tourism destinations, as well as filling theoretical gaps and creating effective tools to manage tourism development in cities are postulated. Several directions of the future research are presented in the conclusions of the paper. Some practical recommendations for decision-makers in particular cities are also included.

“…In addition, various studies have shown that LCC has a positive impact and contribution to other sectors, especially in the tourism sector. The arrival of low-cost airlines (LCC), with cheaper air costs, greatly leverage the flow of tourists around the world [7]. In addition, some literature states that LCC is a major driver of tourism development in a country or city and provides benefits for domestic tourism demand and regional economies [5,8,9].…”

“…In general, the writings on LCC that have been done by some researchers are limited to the influence of LCC on consumer satisfaction, the impact on regional economies in a country and on the tourism sector [5,[7][8][9]12]. The difference / renewal in this research is the implementation of LCC which is reviewed in a cost perspective.…”

This study aims to determine the implementation of the LCC airline in reducing and minimizing costs accrued by the company and the impact of the implementation of LCC. In order to achieve this goal, the data were collected using interview techniques with key informants and secondary data analysis. The type of research used is descriptive exploratory method aimed to explore the implementation of LCC on airlines. Data sources used primary data obtained through interviews with informants from employees of PT. Citilink and PT. Garuda Indonesia, while secondary data were collected from information presented on the website and other related information and reports of LCC on the internet. The results of this study indicated that there are at least 3 forms of reduction / minimization of flight costs, namely the first minimization at operational per service / per flight. Second, cost minimization in the overall operations of the company. Third, minimization with government policy facilities related to the rules regarding flights and fixed rates. These results are evidence by Cost per unit for production (cost per Available Seat Kilometer/CASK) of FSC airline was 6.16 US¢, meanwhile the cost of LCC airline was just 0.06 US¢ for easyJet, Air Asia had 3.07 US¢ and Citilink had the highest position compared to easyJet and Air Asia for 4.71 US¢. Therefore, the implementation of LCC has the effect on the opening opportunities for the middle and lower classes to choose flights as a mode of transportation and the presence of LCC can have a positive impact on the economy, especially in the tourism sector.
