“…In the Czech Republic, Vavrečková and Vaníček [23] dealt with the analysis of the economic benefits of spa tourism. The development of spa care in connection with changes in legislation (in Czech Republic) was dealt with by Vavrečková, Stuchlíková and Dluhošová [24], and Vystoupil, Šauer and Bobková [25] monitored the relations among spas, spa tourism and wellness tourism. Spa tourism is according to the Short Dictionary of Tourism [26] a type of tourism focused on health-preventive and therapeutic activities under professional supervision in leisure time.…”

Natural healing resources in the form of mineral and thermal waters and climatic conditions, together with a rich history and modern medical procedures, rank Slovakia among the important European countries in the field of spas. At the same time, spa tourism has a significant economic benefit for the country. This study examined the impact of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on spa tourism in Slovakia. The Box-Jenkins methodology was used to model and forecast the time series for selected indicators. The analysis used monthly data on the capacity and performance of spa facilities for 2006–2019 and compared the forecast development for 2020–2021 with the reality as affected by the pandemic. Despite the high quality of the models, the methodology used did not take into account an unexpected event such as a pandemic. Therefore, the models were quite inaccurate and had little predictive value. At the same time, it is clear that the pandemic significantly affected spa tourism.

“…On the other hand, the southern part of the region consists of the Hanakian lowland. This region offers a great variety of natural as well as cultural and historical points of interest, e.g., protected landscape area of the Jeseníky, protected landscape area of Litovelské Pomoraví, water reservoir Dlouhé Stráně, many caves, castles, museums, or town halls (Vystoupil et al, 2006).…”

“…There is evidence that the cooperative relationships are intensive in the localities with very good prerequisites for tourism (Vystoupil et al, 2006). Moreover, the network linkage shows that the involvement in the common tourism product (the destination visitor card) stimulates the destination performance (the number of tourists).…”

ABSTRACT:From the economic-geographical approach point of view, a tourism destination is traditionally regarded as a defined geographical area. However, the destination can be considered as a socio-economic system composed of a variety of entities, with many certain types of links among them. Increasing pressure on the destination competitiveness requires more complex methods for investigating internal links and the description of their structures. Using a network analysis in combination with a spatial perspective could provide relevant results for understanding collaborative relationships. This paper focuses on the network of relations that are established due to the participation in the tourism product -the Olomouc visitor card project. The core of the network analysis lies in the website links among stakeholders who joined the Olomouc visitor card project. The main idea is that these virtual relationships may also reflect a social process. Hence, the paper measures the quantitative network characteristics of tourism destination web space and visualizes the existing network on a map. Finally, the results are discussed in the context of tourism destination governance.

“…It acts as primary as well as secondary motivation for the realization. Vystoupil & Sauer (2006) [20] state that it is a form of the tourism experience realized on the basis of experience motivation and benefit from shopping (specific) items at the destination. Paskova, & Zelenka (2002) [21] define it as a form of pseudo tourism (non-standard form of tourism that is not targeting traditional functions, such as physical and mental recovery, recreation or learning) that participants are motivated by the purchase possibility of cheaper or not easily available goods.…”

Abstract. The main aim of the article is a questionnaire based analysis of shopping behaviour in the context of spending leisure time activities of consumers in shopping centres Donauzentrum and Millennium City in Vienna, the capital city of Austria, as well as, the identification of potential differences caused by their location within the city and by varied offer and the diversity of their individual operations. The research was conducted from November 2015 to February 2016 with 320 respondents (160 respondents in Donauzentrum and 160 respondents in Millennium City). Millenium City was often visited by occasional consumers (proximity of railway station and airport, near the city centre, centre with a hotel part, as well). Considering varied offer and the diversity of operations (cinemas, night clubs, fitness centres, bars, restaurants, etc.), the consumers seldom stayed longer during a visit (interval of 91-120 min was stated by 33.75% of the respondents). Donauzentrum was visited more often (i.e. purchase of daily consumer goods). The consumers stayed shorter and spent less money.

Основною метою статті є аналіз споживчої поведінки під час дозвілля споживачів у торгових центрах «Донауцентрум» і «Міленіум сіті» у Відні, столиці Австрії, а також виявлення потенційних відмінностей, викликаних їх розташування, відмінністю торговельних і розважальних пропозицій. Дослідження в формі анкетування проводилося з листопада 2015 року по лютий 2016 року. Було опитано 320 респондентів (160 респондентів у «Донауцентрум» і 160 респондентів у «Міленіум сіті»). «Міленіум сіті» часто відвідували випадкові споживачі в зв›язку з його вдалим розташуванням (близькістю залізничного вокзалу та аеропорту, центру міста й готельних комплексів). З огляду на різноманітну пропозицію розваг (кінотеатри, нічні клуби, фітнес-центри, бари, ресторани і т.п.), споживачі рідко залишалися в «Міленіум сіті» довше 91-120 хвилин, про що повідомили 33,75% респондентів. «Донауцентрум» респонденти відвідували частіше, ніж «Міленіум сіті» (у зв›язку з купівлею товарів щоденного споживання), однак проводили в ньому менше часу й витрачали менше грошей. На основі аналізу автори дійшли висновку, що на споживчу поведінку в торговому центрі перш за все впливає відмінність розважальних пропозицій.
