CHARACTERISTICS OF ECONOMIC FACTORS FOR RURAL TOURISM DEVELOPMENT
Keywords:
forms, functions, economic significance, factors, connectionAbstract
Rural tourism, as a service activity, can not affect the creation of gross domestic product (GDP) and national income, but only their redistribution between certain regions in the territory of one or between certain countries (in the case of foreign tourism). The impact of rural tourism on the balance of payments is realized by introducing foreign means of payment through foreign tourists, ie without classic exports. This is also the foreign exchange function of rural tourism. This enables the export of goods (some agri-food products) through rural tourism that could not be placed on the foreign market due to customs barriers. If the tourist balance is seen as part of the balance of payments, on the assets side are all revenues earned through tourism, ie foreign exchange inflows through the arrival of foreign tourists ("invisible exports"), and on the liabilities side are recorded all foreign exchange expenditures based on of domestic travel of the population abroad, ie "invisible import".
