Geographical Aspects of Spatial Planning for Tourism

Today the planning process of the tourism and recreation areas is mainly based on experience (faster, higher, stronger) in artificial environments that do not depend on external natural influences of the space aiming the greatest possible profit. Can the use of modern tehnology, mobility and networking replace the natural geographical elements of space? Does the spatial planning take into account the geographical aspects sufficiently? If we really want to change the attitude to spatial planning, it is necessary to understand the space as a resource which has social, economic, cultural, ecological and geographical values. If we neglect any of these components, planning leads to reduction of the value of the space. From the geographical point of view, for purposes of spatial planning it is necessary to develop adequate methods of evaluating the space to reflect geographical and geological characteristics of the area.
