The Master thesis' central theme is the phenomenon of Overtourism. It compares its status in three large-size specially protected areas: The Krkonoše Mountains National Park, Bohemian Paradise Protected Landscape Area and Třeboň Basin Protected Landscape Area.

Příspěvek se zabývá motivací k návštěvě Plzeňského a Karlovarského kraje a následné realizace cesty na konkrétní atraktivity či realizace určité aktivity domácími návštěvníky. I když Plzeňský a Karlovarský kraj nejsou přesnými příklady overturismu, v podmínkách ČR se i na území těchto krajů nacházejí více navštěvovaná místa oproti republikovému průměru. V příspěvku jsou porovnány motivy k cestě z výzkumu profilu návštěvníků, který byl prováděn v letní sezoně 2019 na území obou krajů na vzorcích 821 za Plzeňský a 593 respondentů za Karlovarský kraj s realizovanými cestami či záměrem návštěvy atraktivit či aktivit. Cílem příspěvku je možnost využití motivů k cestě k tomu, aby byly řízeny turistické proudy v destinacích. Motivů lze využití pro zmírnění nadměrného zatížení vybraných destinací nebo turistických center. Dalším cílem příspěvku je i identifikace méně zatížených atraktivit či míst, která odpovídají motivaci k návštěvě ve vybraných krajích.

The main goal of this dissertation thesis has been defined as the development and presentation of a model designed to show transparency of different effects of tourism in urban destinations and its practical application by destination management organizations. The resident sub-model was compiled, based on research in the selected destination as well as its statistical evaluation. This sub-model clearly demonstrates relationships that affect tourism. This decision model was focused on the socio-economic effects, primarily generated by residents, which influence tourists and basically tourism in urban destinations. The resident sub-model was subsequently incorporated into another decision model of the sustainable destination to show the resident influence on objective economic factors generated by tourism in urban destinations. These two models clearly illustrate how complicated system is the behaviour of residents and which significant negative / positive effects on tourism can generate. For the development of this solution system thinking was used as the main methodological approach. System thinking has been actually rarely used, but it is very effective method, because it can reveal complexity of diverse relationships and find possibilities how to influence and control these relationships; in this case by destination management organizations. This solution is intended primarily for these tourism institutions. This method was intentionally simplified to be applicable by the local organizations. However, it retains high level of efficiency, which can bring required objectivity in very subjective relationships between residents, tourist and basically tourism at urban destinations.
