A Comparison of Financial Instruments for Tourism Policy Implementation in Switzerland and Austria and Their Possible Application in the Czech Republic
Journal Title: Journal of Tourism and Services - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The topic of this paper is a comparison of financial instruments used to support tourism in the Czech Republic, Austria and Switzerland at a national level. The destination management systems including institutions and their roles and powers with regards to financing tourism differ in the above mentioned countries, nevertheless the Austrian and Swiss systems correspond to a certain extent. The analysis of the national financial tools concentrates on the sources of financing, their distribution and targeting, including the identification of the main beneficiaries and the possibilities of evaluating of these tools. The Czech system suffers from numerous imperfections, such as an insufficient connection of tourism and other policies, little focus on commercial effects and an absence of evaluation of implemented financial tools and programmes. An indication of how to develop financial tools in the Czech Republic has been derived from the analysis.
