This generates demand for passenger car transport services. During this time, vessels
are supplied and several dozen tons of cargo are delivered. What is also important
is that sea passenger ships deliver waste (up to approx. 3.5 tons), for which several
containers with a capacity of 10–15 m
3 are used, that, after being filled, are exported
to a waste collection point at the port. Food waste is picked up the same day, and the
rest of waste remaining must be taken to a landfillwithin 4 days.
River cruising has the largest share in water tourism traffic in the analysed city.
Annually, it is approximately130 ships, 8400 passengers and 1400 crew members.
Ships can be served by local carriers with bus rolling stock, as well as to a limited
extent by public transport. Therefore, it can be stated that tourism in the field of water
tourism does not fundamentally affect the state of use of the city’s transport system.
Despite organizational and logistical problems related to the short-term stay of larger
maritime vessels and their service, the scale of water tourism did not significantly
affect the state of tourism management in the city and the aspects of sustainable
tourism. In 2017, a great maritime event took place, which was the final of the Tall
Ships Races regatta. It caused a significantly greater demand for transport services
related to the needs of water tourism participants and their units for one week. The
event is organized irregularly and in the long run does not create significant threats.
Tourists arriving in ports on board of yachts use the widest range of port services.
It results from the fact that they organize tourist trips on their own, providing themselves with food, among other things (Jennings 2007). Limited space on vessels, and
often the limited possibilities of storing food in appropriate conditions, necessitates
shopping in ports or using catering services. The yacht docks at the port for an average
of 1–2 days. Sailors wanting to sightsee the city organize their tours and often use
public transport. The marina has 40 guest and 33 residential places. In 2017, 1027
yachts and about 2600 tourists entered the port. Waste collection is not a problem
here. The bins at the port are emptied cyclically.
The presented example concerning the service of water tourism transport in the
city indicates that the relatively small scale of both water and tourist traffic does not
significantly threaten the natural environment of the city. The seaport along with the
municipal economy have no problems in handling this traffic and do not reduce the
quality level of residents’ lives and do not negatively affect the state of sustainable
tourism.
5.2 Smog as an Assessment Element of Tourist Attractiveness
The assessment method for the level of tourist competitiveness (Crouch and Ritchie
1999), which is used in research on the level of tourist development in an area, is
tourist attractiveness of the area (Hu and Ritchie 1993; Cracolici and Nijkamp 2008).
Tourist attractiveness, defined as a sum of subjective and objective assessments of
individual elements of tourist supply within the limits set by a specific price and
income level (Wodejko 1998), can be used to assess the state of sustainable tourism
