Summary/Abstract: Competition at regional and local levels calls for solutions that will ensure a better success in meeting development goals of territorial units. Among major goals is the welfare of local communities. A category describing the sense of well-being of a group of citizens (e.g. inhabitants of a municipality, city, or region) is the quality of life which depends to some extent on the outcomes of economic activities in the area. Among many economic functions of a city is tourism. The relationship between quality of life and tourism development, however, is not straightforward as it depends on the complex city product and the role of local residents in its creation.
