The purpose of this chapter is to explore and explain the importance of social responsibilities (SR) among all stakeholders in the sports tourism today. And to gain awareness knowledge about the role of social media to in providing timely information about those relevant codes of conduct for to sports tourists, as well. So, this chapter applies the content analysis method with the support of program NVivo of then posted firm generated and user generated content on the Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. The research analyses observe social media as a good tool for sharing information about SR behaviour in sports tourism, and explores the nature and tone of communication between non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Croatia, specifically HGSS (Croatian Mountain Rescue Service) and sports tourists, and tourists’ perception of social responsibility as something important and essential for their safety, and the safety of other tourists during sports activities. The results show that social media are a great tool for sharing large amount of information that can increase social responsibility among sports tourists, also improve tourist’s understanding of SR behaviour during sports activities, educate them and familiarize them with about the safety instructions, and codes of conduct while engaging during participation in sports activities on their travels.

Despite of these, the problem of performance audit in tourism and their role in increasing tourism efficiency is hardly addressed. This study highlights the importance of building and managing the performance audit in tourism, and based on the case studies of implemented audits in European Union and well-known Mediterranean destination of Croatia analyses how these destinations successfully managed their tourist activities. According to study, in Croatia is carried out only one performance audit in tourism, and it was as a pilot project, while the situation is bit different in the EU. That indicates that Croatian economy lags behind developed countries in understanding the importance of performance audit, and its influence on overall economy.

The increasing competitiveness of domestic tourism includes strong state support as well as continuous improvement in supply of products and services. The willingness to contribute to the domestic economy, and the lack of research which combine level of ethnocentric tendency of consumers, and insufficient state aid in tourism development have been the main reason for conducting this research. The results reflect the key factors affecting the economic developmentwith special emphasis on tourism development, as well as the manner in which state aid contribute to the achievement of key development goals. The research also shows different problems and barriers in tourism development. This paper is based on the results of the rigorous empirical research conducted on a sample of 201 small and medium size businesses in the territory of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The respondents were directors, owners and managers.

The Role of Bike Sharing System in Developing Sustainable Urban Tourismdestination

A case study method was applied on the urban tourism destination Zagreb. Students perception toward cycling and bike sharing was collected via face-to-face survey. Students perceive cycling, and bike sharing as a good sustainable transport solution. The most important advantages of cycling are improvement of mental and physical health due to physical activity of people, and reduction in traffic congestions, pollution, noise, vibration and financial savings. Specifically, bike sharing impacts on the reduction of greenhouse gases and climate change, increases the quality of life in cities, and encourages people to engage in recreational activities and have more positive attitude towards the environment. The study provides theoretical implications for tourism and sustainability literature to enhance destination management knowledge about the concept of bike sharing underlying students attitude toward it. The implications for practitioners include better understanding of bike sharing as a solution for sustainable transport development. The limitation of the research is the convenience sampling technique, thus findings have limited generalizability. The present study contributes to tourism and sustainability literature in two ways. First, the tourism and sustainability industry must understand people perception toward sustainable mode of transport. People perception is essential for implementing new modes of transport as a solution for sustainable development of urban tourism destinations like Zagreb. Second, the findings provide guidelines for destination management in implementing sustainable transport solutions in urban destinations. Trends in the tourism market indicate that a preserved environment, and thus sustainable development will be even more important in the future. With the help of sustainable transport like bike sharing, and young people who accept the new forms of transportation green future is possible.

Initially, NFR was mostly disclosed on a voluntary basis. Because of deeper awareness regarding climate change and environmental challenges, as well as pressure from investors, customers, and competition, nonfinancial reporting developed from a voluntary to a mandatory highly standardized practice. This research sought to address the following questions: How understanding of business value creation determines business reporting? How sustainability approach manifests on the company level? What is nonfinancial reporting and why should companies care about it? What are the motivations and benefits for companies and for whom do they publish sustainability reports? What about experiences in public sector? How contemporary concepts of green, circular, and zero-waste economy influence business reporting? Which open questions do organizations face on the path of sustainability reporting? This study contributes to the discussion on NFR and stimulates paradigm shift from profitability toward sustainability as adopting a holistic perspective, respecting people and the planet. This research stimulates business community to invest time and energy into sustainability reporting and encourages scholars to explore new ways of business reporting and therefore contributes to our knowledge and well-being.

Therefore, it is essential to know which countries successfully manage their travel and tourism, and can serve as an example for the others. The aim of the paper is to analyze the efficiency of travel and tourism impact on the GDP and employment in the European Union at the macro level, by using the nonparametric approach data envelopment analysis. All 28 member states of the European Union were included in the research. The observation period was one year (2017). Two inputs and two outputs were selected. Internal travel and tourism consumption and capital investment were the inputs, while travel and tourism's total contribution to GDP and employment were the outputs. The obtained results are presented, interpreted and there are recommendations given for the tourism policy-makers regarding making better decisions.

They are already affecting business strategies of companies. The recent trends in the economy reflect ever clearer demands for non-financial reporting, i.e. reporting on social and ecological aspects of business activities of the company. With this research study we intended to contribute to the affirmation of sustainable business and non-financial reporting and to encourage the business community to emerge from a narrow perspective of profits and to see the broader soacial and environmental responsibility of the company's business. We also believe that the academic community should be committed to providing support and assistance to the business community and businesses in the process of introducing and implementing sustainability reporting, which was the ultimate purpose of this work.
