Tourism Destination Product in Reference to Sustainable Consumption in Tourism. Introduction to a Discussion

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to refer tourism destination product to sustainable consumption in tourism. Realization of this aim was possible by theoretical presentation and directly compiling of both concepts. The starting point of them was a specification of the features of tourism destination product. Decision about choosing the issues was a result of literature review on sustainable development. The researchers highlight that further consideration will be concentrating on space (as one of areas of implementation of sustainable development) and sustainable consumption. In the author’s opinion the issues presented should be particularly related to tourism sector. The basic reasons for this approach are: specifics of tourism destination product; differences in tourists’ needs; varied degree of satisfying tourists needs. The general consideration of consumption and tourism destination showed that no clear conclusions can be drawn. In relation to the above, in the author’s opinion the reference of tourism destination product to sustainable consumption in tourism seems like a challenge. The issues mentioned in the article can serve as a starting point of a discussion.
