Abstract

Domestic tourism was not homogenous under state socialism but involved collective, commercial, and informal provision. Moreover, it had not been monolithically institutionalized, but was significantly influenced by different social and cultural legacies in the Czech and Slovak territories. During the transformation there was an apparent paradox, for some forms of holiday increased during the economic crisis. However, this can be seen as a logical outcome to changing economic conditions, and access to tourism actually became more socially differentiated. This paper concludes that extensive privatization has not meant a unilinear and inexorable shift to a market system, for tourism remains a bricolage of collective, market, and informal provision.
