In the course of the development of European high speed railways (HSR) the assessment of their impact on the development of tourism and related industries has changed from the overoptimistic to a ...controversial one and even to the one raising concern.In connection with the construction of a new high-speed railway Rail Baltica, which should connect Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania with the rest of Europe, the issue of planning the passenger traffic along the new corridor route should include the testing of provisional theories regarding the impact of new railway on the development of Tourism&Travel Industries.Since the methodology of cost benefit analysis does not entail the above mentioned assessment, it is necessary to study the experience of other countries in this field in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes in the provisional assessment of HSR’s impact on Tourism&Travel Industries.The aim of the article: to organize and structure the available research dedicated to the quantitative assessment of the impact of European HSRs on tourism; to identify effective and negative types of the aforementioned impact; to make known this information to the interested parties of the Rail Baltica project, as well as to the officials, responsible for determining the policy in the field of tourism and transportation in the Baltic countries. In the given research the author makes use of the methods of systematic approach, cluster analysis, comparative analysis of scientific literature and empirical studies, based on PRISMA Statement, as well as statistical methods.Results: in the course of the analysis the author has found out that there might be the following impact of Rail Baltica on the development of tourism in the project’s region: 1) redistribution of tourism markets among the member countries of the cross-border project; 2) the increase in the spatial competition in the Tourism&Travel Industries of the region; 3) the volume of induced passengers trips can exceed the forecast of investment assessments by at least three times.Conclusions: the necessary methodological basis for the organisation of passenger traffic along the Rail Baltica route can be created only by studying the existing realities of the exploitation of HSRs in different regions. Due to the lack of research in this field, the given paper can comprise a source of information for the interested governmental institutions of the RB project’s member countries, which might be useful for further detailed research. For example, it can concern the determination of cross-effects between the seasonality of tourism in the region and the organization of passenger traffic along the new railway corridor.

There are numerous pull forces that determine destination choice. In the contemporary turbulent
conditions, safety and security risks have a growing role. This is particularly evident in the ...Mediterranean region, bearing in mind that the political crisis in the Arab world has reflected in this region as the largest receptive market. Therefore, the study has been conducted to determine which factors are the most important in the process of choosing a destination and whether the recent crises have affected travel habits. In addition to the descriptive statistics, the data obtained by the Likert scale were analyzed by independent samples t-test in SPSS. The results have revealed that price, service quality, and risk-related issues are the main parameters of destination choice. In this regard, the respondents expressed their understanding of contemporary security risks in the Mediterranean (terrorist acts, militant groups, migration crisis, etc.). The research also showed the influence of different sources of information on travel habits, primarily word-of-mouth process, and mass media. The crisis has affected the demand allocation, but not trip cancellation. Based on the abovementioned we can
conclude that safety and security risks are not the only and decisive factor but represent an important parameter.

Tourism considered as a complex global phenomenon is one of the most important economic sectors worldwide. The objective of this paper was to determine the extent of the impact of the capacity and ...profit potentials of tourism on the economic potential in the Slovak Republic on average for the period 2008 to 2017. The partial objective was to identify the mutual performance disparities among individual regions. We analysed the following indicators of the capacity potential: the number of accommodation facilities within tourism, the number of beds, the number of visitors, and the number of overnight stays by tourism visitors. Taking into account all the mentioned indicators, we state that the Žilina Region achieved the best capacity potential, while the Trnava Region achieved the weakest capacity potential. The succeeding metrics were analysed in assessing the profit potential at the regional level: average price for accommodation, revenues from accommodation, and net expenditures. The persisting existing disparities between the East and West of the country have been proven, as the Bratislava Region reached the best profit potential and the worst profit potential was noted in the Košice Region. The economic potential expressed by the average nominal wage and net money income confirmed the first rank for the Bratislava Region, while the lowest indicator values were found in the Prešov Region. In determining the impact of the output potential (capacity and profit) on the economic potential, the existing significant impact of the tourism profit potential on the economic potential of the Slovak Republic was confirmed. Based on the results, we can conclude that in order to increase the economic prosperity, especially in the context of indicators linked to wage, attention should be focused mainly on the service quality and price of accommodation, which is reflected in the achieving revenues analogically.
