Abstract :Tourism has become an important industry in recent decades, bringing considerable economic benefits. However, tourism also brings different types of negative impacts, manifested by increasing energy consumption and environmental negative impact. With the development of tourism, heavy tourist traffic, air pollution and waste of resources cause significant damage to the environment and natural resources. At the same time, energy consumption will in turn increase to meet the various needs of tourists and their experiences because the diversification of tourists` activities increases in equal measure with the development of technology. In many respects, smart tourism can be seen as a logical progression from traditional tourism and, more recently, e-tourism, as the foundations for innovation and technological orientation of industry and consumers have been established in advance with the widespread adoption of information technologies and communications in tourism. The paper aims to highlight the manifestation of the impact of tourism on energy consumption.
