The purpose of the article is to evaluate the possibilities of evaluating sustainable tourism in Polish tourist regions, in particular, through the use of ETIS indicators and to assess for the ...availability of data for their calculation in the nationwide statistical system. Qualitative research methodology was used to study the availability of ETIS indicators. A diagnostic type research procedure was adopted and the desk research method was used. In a situation where the data necessary for calculating a given indicator was not found in the available sources, primary research in the form of direct interviews with representatives of branches of Statistical Offices was used. In order to quantify the availability of ETIS indicators, a system for their evaluation was adopted and aggregate indicators were proposed for the evaluation of sections and individual criteria in the section, which is the author’s attempt to develop a unified system for evaluating sustainable tourism indicators.
The results of the study showed that the availability of data for calculating ETIS indicators in Poland is not satisfactory. The lowest rating was given to the availability of indicators that facilitate the management of the resort, including the tourists’ satisfaction survey (section A). Also rated very low was the availability of indicators of the environmental impact of tourism in a resort (section D). The results obtained confirm the results of studies by other authors dealing with the issue of the real use of ETIS in tourist regions of other countries.
In this paper, the authors study the issues of sustainability and sustainable tourism development. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important goal and principle of every segment of social ...and economic development. This is especially true for tourism and
tourist destinations and is extremely important when it comes to fragile natural and socioeconomic entities such as islands. This paper addresses the issues of measuring and monitoring the development of sustainability by taking the island of Pag as an example. As a metric, the authors have selected the European Tourism Indicators System (ETIS), a European Commission model designed in 2014 as a sustainability monitoring tool that is recommended for use in European tourist destinations. The authors also set a goal to compare theETIS sustainability indicators and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). The paper also emphasised the so-calledsupplementary ETIS indicators, which allow flexibility in managing the destination, i.e.adjusting the sustainability metric to the specificities of the destination. The primary research, based on respondents’ attitudes, formed a model of supplementary indicators for island tourist destinations that istypical for the island of Pag, which could be applied to other islands developing tourism.
