Sažetak
The economics of tourism is a wellknown
concept in the theory of tourism.
However, scientific positions which have
attempted to define the concept in different
periods have not only differed, but have even been
contradictory. In the countries of East Europe,
the concept of economics of tourism has existed
since the end ofWorldWar II.Western tourism
literature began to use the term only at the end of
the 20th century, but a defined position on this,
let alone a consensus, has still not been found.
This paper presents a retrospective of scientific
views on the economics of tourism over the last
sixty years and polemically discusses the views
published in the International Handbook on the
Economics of Tourism (L.Dwyer and P. Forsyth).
