Individual Low-Cost Travel as a Route to Tourism Sustainability

Abstract

The article discusses the issues of individual low-cost and sustainable tourism and its main goal is to confirm that individual low-cost travel is in fact a form of tourism within which the principles of sustainable tourism are implemented. It is a theoretical article based on desk research involving literature analysis. The study has confirmed that individual low-cost tourism and various other types related to it show relevant relationships with the ideas of sustainable development. These affinities are visible concerning economic, sociocultural, and environmentally balanced growth. However, the research results presented in the article are theoretical and need further empirical verification. Therefore, the authors treat this study as a work provoking discussion on the issue of the relationship between individual low-cost and sustainable tourism.
