| Abstract: | This paper presents a novel theoretical characterization of how tourism services stimulate (deter) economic growth that integrates both Tourism-Led and Beach Disease hypotheses. We build a multisector growth model with the appealing feature that it delivers a linear growth equation that can be easily estimated by practitioners using conventional regression methods. We therefore build a bridge between theory and empirics. Under mild assumptions, we demonstrate theoretically that GDP per capita growth rate depends on the share the tourism sector represents over total GDP, Total Factor Productivity, and other determinants of the steady state of the economy. A testable implication is that a higher specialization in tourism services yields positive GDP per capita growth rates consistent with the Tourism-Led growth hypothesis if and only if the tourism sector is more productive than the rest of the economy. Otherwise, greater tourism specialization results in degrowth paths that are compatible with the Beach Disease. |

| Abstract: | This contribution aims to prepare theoretical background for a PhD thesis titled Integrated passenger transport management systems in the development of tourism. The aim of the paper is to explore the current knowledge in the field of the integrated passenger transport system (IPTS) in the context of the tourism development, identify the unanswered questions that require further research and assess some elements of the IPTS development potential. The areas of economic theory – consumer theory in transport, the management of the integrated transport system, and financial management, more specifically, investments in the integrated transport system – were chosen for elaborating the theoretical starting points. Integrated management of passenger transport in cooperation with all carriers and at least in a group of several municipalities, is a discussed intention of a number of municipalities. The integrated system has the potential to simplify transportation for passengers and also increase the volume of passenger transportation. High-quality transport service is one of the success factors of a tourism destination. Road passenger transport continues to expand as it offers fast transport at an affordable price. For this reason, the integrated transport system is also a frequently addressed topic, but it is not much explored in relation to tourism. An effective integrated passenger transport management system can contribute to the development of tourism in a given area and to the subsequent development of the area. In the South Bohemian Region, the integrated transport system is not fully functional, so there is a space for its innovation, and it provides research possibilities. This topic also shows publication and theoretical-research potential. |

| Abstract: | The aim is to find out the relation between the sharing and shadow economy and how influence each other. The partial goal is to analyse a situation in the selected countries. The partial aim is also to summarise the current state of knowledge in the sharing economy services in relation with shadow economy and to suggest possibilities for further research in this area. The partial aim is analysing situation of the shadow and sharing economy in providing accommodation services through Airbnb in the Czech Republic. The aim is also to identify the share of Airbnb accommodation in total accommodation capacity in the Czech Republic.Several methods are used to achieve the goals, such as forming hypothesis, secondary data analysis, questionnaire survey, theoretical output in the form of proposals for further investigation and correlation analysis. Based on the overview study, two hypotheses were established. The first hypothesis is focused on connection between sharing and shadow economy. The second hypothesis is focused on share of Airbnb accommodation in total accommodation capacity in the Czech Republic. The result of correlation analysis is that sharing, and shadow economy has strong negative correlation. These two topics has common influence. The result shows that non-payment of local tax authorities in the Czech Republic perceive as a significant problem. However, there is no communication between the city and the providers. |
