ekologický cestovný ruch


Definition from Gúčik: Krátky slovník cestovného ru:
Ekologický cestovnú ruch je forma cestovného ruchu, ktorá chráni prírodné prostredie a udržiava blahobyt miestneho obyvateľstva. Je protipólom masového cestovného ruchu.

Example sentence(s):
  • V rámci prvého odovzdávania cien Green Travel Awards na svete navštívi AquaCity približne 250 zástupcov hotelov, stredísk a destinácií z celého sveta, aby ocenili tie strediská, ktoré najúčinnejšie prispievajú k ekologickému cestovnému ruchu. - website of Aquacity Poprad  

Explanation:
Pri štúdiu cestovného ruchu sa vysvetľuje časté zamieňanie pojmu turizmus z anglického termínu tourism, čo evokuje skôr turistiku a turistické aktivity s cestovným ruchom ako oblasťou hospodárskej činnosti. Na VŠ sa študuje aj učí o cestovnom ruchu a nie o turizme, preto sa prikláňam k používaniu termínu cestovný ruch
