  1. The “bottomless pit” effect – An analysis of tourism development funding in the Ormánság Csapó, J. – Marton, G. – Szabó, K. University of Pécs Faculty of Sciences Institute of Geography Department of Tourism

  2. Introduction • Analysethe tourism development supports and their regional impacts (2004-) • it is very important to receive grants and funding from the EU (or other sources) but it is also significant to measure how these sources were utilised and whether any changes were experienced from 2004 or not. • Our preconception is that hardly any positive processes can be experienced in the researched areaeither from social or from economic respect. • Our paper and conference lecture tries to prove or reject this concept of the Ormánság being a “bottomless pit”.

  3. 1. The Ormánság • An etnographicalregionattheHungarian-Croatianborderarea. • 63.000 hectares • 52 settlements • 19.000 inhabitants • Economicalpheriphery… • Demographicalstress… • Disadvantageouspositions…

  4. 2. The area of the Ormánság Source:Losonci, J. and Marton, G., 2008.

  5. The Ormánság is a landscape unit with numerous outstanding tourism endowments: • its natural environment involves several potential resources, which can be exploited by the tourism industry. • The territory is considered to be one of Hungary’s externalperipheries, therefore bears the characteristics of the social as well as the economic margin. • The volume of tourism – as an economic branch – is realised on a much lower level than that of the potentials derived from the resources. • One of the foundations of the region’s economic development is represented by the conscious improvement of tourism, which is based on the natural resources of the area.

  6. 3. The tourism potential • The basis is theenviromentalheritage • Inviolatevalues: waters, forest, animals… • National park, Ramsariareas, Natura 2000… • Activetourism !!! • Culturalheritage(onlycomplementary!) • Local gastronomy, buildings, religions… BUT, theterritory: • Withunutilisedsources! • Withoutinnovativeinvestment! • Withoutgeneraldevelopment!
