icant correlations between attractions classification and their organisa-
tional and management efficiency. Different approaches in classification
of visitor attractions actually influence and condition the approaches
of their planning and management. Therefore, the classification of vis-
itor attractions according to the origin of tourism resources gives pure-
ly information and orientation, because without other key factors, at-
tributes and content of the attraction, the base for efficient valorisation
and competitive sustainability management of the attraction system is
insufficient. In this book we closely discuss the classification of visitor
attractions considering the spatial organisation, because spatial features
mainly determine the consequences and behaviour of tourist visit, mar-
keting conditions and restrictions of planning and managing the visitor
attraction. Last but not least, we highlight the importance of so-called
124 cross-border attractions or peripheral attractions that have lately shown
their huge tourist potential because of their unique and incomparable ap-
peal attracting a large number of visitors. The multitude of approaches in
classification of visitor attractions is corollary of social changes and mod-
ified leisure patterns that have led to enormous growth of heterogeneity
due to changed patterns of leisure.
Significant attention is dedicated to tourism impacts due to their es-
sential role in planning and developing the visitor attractions. We deduce
that visitor attractions are not possible without tourism impacts. We also
point to the fact, which is too often overlooked and neglected by tourism
practitioners, that the tourism impacts not only can but ought to be man-
aged. Tourism impacts, as a set of changes in a certain location, represent
a sum of tourism activity consequences as an output of interactions char-
acterising tourism (between locals, tourists and destination or attraction)
and the imbalances between tourism supply and demand. Indeed, there
is a firm belief that tourism resources are limited; nonetheless, demand
for them has been constantly rising. Basic framework in the context of
tourism impacts represents the space owing to the fact that tourism re-
sources arise from the space and the consequences of tourism activities
are evident in that same space. Both aspects of the spatial issues are essen-
tial for the sustainable competitiveness largely reflecting the efficiency of
visitor attraction management. In addition to a comprehensive overview
of the variety of tourism impacts, the book focuses more specifically on
their characteristics, which in essence constitute a prerequisite for their
effective management. Specific characteristics of the tourism impacts de-
termine their operationalization revealing a thorough insight into their
comprehending. Tourism impacts understanding enables more effective
