“…The third hypothesis of the present study is: foundation for economic has positive effects on community tourism. It is clear from a past study that both the economic foundation and tourism create job opportunities and allow local communities to share their experiences, stories, customs, and cultural values with others (Poort, Persson-Fischier, Martinsson-Wallin, Elf Donaldson, & Schaub, 2021). Furthermore, it is also obvious from the past literature that economic foundation plays a significant role in valuing local people over profit and helps to sustain local values that ultimately benefit community tourism.…”

“…Focusing on urban geography and sustainable tourism development, cultural attractions should be concentrated near the city centres, within walking distance (Aranburu et al, 2016). Some authors emphasise the role of cultural identity and authenticity in the development of sustainable cultural tourism (Poort et al, 2021), especially in the context of rural cultural tourism (Mukhils & Estella de Costa, 2021), and having in mind the perceptions of residents (AbbasiDorcheh & Mohamed, 2013). Education of the local population to participate in tourism development could be a path to more sustainable cultural tourism (Ioan-Franc & Istoc, 2007).…”

European Capital of Culture (ECoC), as a long-term cultural initiative of the European Union, has inevitably become intertwined with tourism development in designated cities. For almost four decades, medium-sized and small cities across Europe have been allowed to shift their local economies towards creativity and cultural tourism, driven by the ECoC title, with different cities achieving different levels of success. Since the 1990s, the ECoC initiative has followed the EU's trends, resolutions, and recommendations. The mid-2000s, 2010s, and early 2020s have given the trend a new drive with a more procedural approach in the ECoC bidding process. Sustainable development is one of the EU’s main strategic goals in the new era, and sustainable tourism has also influenced the ECoC initiative, making it one of the key priorities. This paper analyses the concepts of modern cultural tourism and the phenomena of over-tourism and sustainable tourism, especially in the ECoC context. Research methodology is based on secondary sources, including scientific papers, bid books and other official documents drawn up by ECoC cities and ECoC reports. The paper seeks to recognise and systematise the changes in cultural tourism trends in the ECoC context.

Sustainable development of tourist destinations is based on the key principles of sustainable development in general taking into consideration the characteristics of tourism as an activity, in particular. In the event that a tourist destination has an island location, this becomes an additional factor imposing even more stringent requirements for sustainable development due to even greater vulnerability of isolated ecological systems. At the same time, the human factor becomes decisive, because the development of a tourist destination depends on how the providers of tourism services comply with the principles of sustainable development. The purpose of our study is to identify the willingness to follow the principles of sustainable development of a tourist destinations among entrepreneurs providing tourism services, using innovative methods of problem-solving learning. During the study, the following methods were used: bibliographic, analytical, in-depth survey method, etc. The methodology implemented for this study was qualitative survey where students reflected on their learning processes. The results show the importance of university students cooperating with actors within tourist destination on both theoretical and practical issues of sustainability to develop the destination. This cooperation enables the most important learning outcomes for both parties on sustainability. Heterogeneity of the group, and methodology of Design Thinking increases the creativity in problem solving.
