【正文】 is the crowding of holiday resorts and of the means of transport, with adverse consequences over quality. In developed countries, about 30% of free time is for tourism, which is in petition with other leisure time activities like sports, cultural events and activities run at home. Because young people have more free time than other groups of population, they travel relatively more than other tourist categories. The technical progress has direct consequences on the mobility level of the population, favouring travelling and impacting other phenomena like urbanization, industrialization, pollution, etc., which, at their turn, leave their mark on tourism. Technology influences in a direct manner the tourism demand, which is directed towards certain means of transport, of information, towards direct systems of distribution and towards new destination that became more accessible or towards plex tourism products that incorporate new technologies and provide a new type of tourism. The global tourism industry is still confronting with the implications of the “puter era” in the sense that it can transform from its supporter into an adversary. While many countries and activity sectors successfully use the Inter to launch various promotion campaigns, other regions of the world – such as Canada and Hong Kong, are still feeling the negative effects of the rapid spread of information (and disinformation) about the outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2020. The tourism industry in Canada recorded devastating losses in the summer of 2020 due to SARS – losses from which is still not fully recovered. After a moderate loss of revenue, youth hostels in Canada recorded a return to expected levels in less than three months after the initial outbreak. Although some improvements have been made, the industry experts believe that this impact will be felt in the ing years also. Present and future generations of young tourists have been growing with the Inter, so it?s no wonder that this medium plays an important role in youth travel before, while and after 外文翻譯 1 9 travelling. While the Inter facilitates rapid spreading of news about terrorism, natural disasters, epidemics, etc., it is also an important global munication mean and an advertising tool, so its influence over youth travel throughout the world and in Europe should not be underestimated. Other factors that influence youth travel have emerged more recently, and they are: ? increasing the vacation budget。 Up to 25% for train and bus transport。 Young people save money to make a long journey because, in most cases, the 外文翻譯 1 6 expenditure is close to their annual ine. Chadee and Cutler reached the conclusion that 65% of students will use their savings to finance the journeys they have planned, while 9% will probably get a loan from a bank (Chadee and Cutler, 1996). This implies that students are planning journeys and making savings in advance, but there are also students that are taking jobs for a short period of time in order to raise money to travel. The study also revealed that only 8% of youth intend to borrow money from relatives and this is in accordance with the hypothesis that students are able to travel only if they have financial support from their parents. Prices and tariffs – represent another factor that stimulates tourism development, influencing the tourism product as a whole or only one of its ponents: transport, acmodation, food, entertainment. Charging high prices limits the access of young people to tourism services and is mainly reflected in the low number of tourists, in the short stays, in the travel distances, etc。 ? facilities like holiday checks and vouchers issued by certain trade unions or by other bodies。 ? family groups – they engage in group travels and request destinations that simultaneously satisfy two generations (parents children). The ines of young people – are the main requirement for tourism demand, an increase of revenues leading to an increase in tourism expenditure. The ines of the population express a country?s level of economic and social development and indirectly, the opportunities for practicing tourism. Therefore, the growth of individual ines – results of the economic growth and, accordingly, of the gross domestic product – directly influences the structure of consumption and, implicitly, the access to tourism for various social categories. Because young people are influenced in practicing tourism by their limited finances, the level of their ine is not only reflected in the level of participation, but also in the level and structure of the requested tourism services, the duration of their stay, the travelled distance, the frequency of travels, the organized or particular feature of the holiday, travelling within or outside the borders, the option for a particular mode of transport. In general, youth turns to the following means to finance a holiday: ? family and relatives (parents, grandparents, other members of the family, etc.)。 ? the important increase of the ine earned by parents. The three sociodemographic 外文翻譯 1 5 categories with a major role in the restructuring of the tourism offer are: ? the 1835 age group – tourists travelling alone or in groups will especially dominate the Asian outbound (China, Japan, being the most dynamic segments)。 ? the increase in the percentage of young people with plete education (including access to structures of tertiary level of education)。 the tour operators think that for many education institutions, trave
