Abstract:

Accommodation establishments belong to the basic facilities of tourism infrastructure because they allow visitors to stay in the visited area. The main aim of this paper is to locate all individual and collective accommodation establishments in the studied area. The studied area is defined as the regions of South Bohemia and the Bohemian Forest because these regions belong to the most important areas for tourism. Through the cartographic visualisation, specific spatial disparities in location of various categories of accommodation establishments (hotels, boarding houses, campsites, tourists’ hostels and other accommodation establishments) were revealed. The contribution of this paper lies in the undertaken analyses of the location of each accommodation establishment in the studied area – the Czech Statistical Office does not provide this comprehensive view.
