Responsible tourism is the right kind of tourism
• Among specialists involved in tourism activity there is a shared
opinion on responsible tourism - This is the right way for tourists to
visit one destination, to learn about its features and to consume their
vacation.
• Responsible tourism takes care of the resumption of certain
resources and responsible use of others. The basis of the process is
mutual advantage - between visitor and destination. In order for it to
be adequately implemented several defining factors should be taken
