Hodnocení infrastruktury hipoturismu ve Zlínském kraji

Abstract

The bachalor thesis is focused on hipoturism in the Zlín Region, particularly at the actual state of its infrastructure. Hipoturism or equestrian tourism is a relatively new type of tourism that for the last few decades has gained popularity and expanded considerably. Despite this, however, the group of enthusiasts of this type of tourism is relatively narrow. The first part is devoted to the impact of tourism on the landscape and its gentle forms. It also includes the history, origin and meaning of hipoturism in the Czech Republic and disposition of the Zlín Region for this type of tourism. The next part deals with the evaluation of riding trails and equestrian institutions on the basis of selected criteria (e.g. length of the trail, demands or complex equipment, prices, etc.) in a specified location. The study is enriched by the benefits that were obtained through an interview with one of the administrators of the local equestrian trails, as well as a questionnaire, which were identified by the demands and preferences of users of the equestrian trails. The final part is a recommendation of a new equestrian trail on the area of the Zlín Region, including the conditions for the creation and determination of a suitable area to establish a new trail. The conclusion summarizes the results of all evaluations.
