Urban tourist destinations or City Break destinations are representing one of main destination products on tourist market. City Break destinations are big cities, administrative, economic and political centers of states and regions. These cities are 'open' 24 hours per day, seven days in week. Inside these tourist destination we can find different range of products (culture, entertainment, recreation, leisure, history, modern infrastructure). In these destinations season is not present and it lasts trough out the year. Promotional campaigns in City Break destinations are truing to create distinguished images in tourists mind as also as on investors, consumers and future residents. They emphasize advantages that those cities are delivering to their consumers, but often we forget that all these cities are having specific geographic landscapes. In the era of limiting of mass tourism to preserve resources for future generations and emphasizing the importance of sustainable development for tourism perspectives, the importance of specific geographic landscapes inside urban destinations for their further development as tourist destinations an their overall development is slightly neglected.

Therefore the tourism industry tries to conduct a vigorous promotion by carrying out activities that can bring tourists to stay in one tourist destination.

Areas that are considered human-friendly are green spaces. The existing urban parks are designed to fulfill the role of relaxation, recreation, and entertainment. However, in many cases, these are historic places, which at the time didn't have much of an impact on external factors. Sustainable development issues are related to the quality of life and the usage of the environment and its resources by present and future generations. Noise and noise protection is an issue that is part of sustainable development. The inadequate implementation of the principles of sustainable development and non-inclusion of noise can noticeably lead to negative effects now and in the future. The aim of the paper is to analyze the soundscapes of two Bydgoszcz parks located in the city center. The values of the equivalent sound level for these areas were obtained from the existing Bydgoszcz acoustic plan. Subsequently, the resulting distribution of noise was compared with the results of subjective perception of sounds by visitors. On this basis, conclusions can be drawn regarding the ways of shaping such areas while taking into account the perception of visitors.

This paper examines the role of Natural Protected Areas (NPAs) as a source of economic spillovers for mass tourism destinations in Mexico. An econometric model was used to explain the number of booked rooms in tourism destinations as a function of proximity to NPAs, controlling for destination characteristics. A conservative estimate suggests that some rooms booked by foreign visitors can be explained by proximity to NPAs. Our results open public policy options, such as a compensating mechanism from conventional tourism to fund NPAs and show that they would be economically efficient and contribute to sustainability.

It was found that a large number of scientific works on gastronomic branding does not reveal the essence of the stages of formation of such a brand. Despite some successful practices in the use of gastronomic products to promote tourism services, the general recommendations for the use of the gastronomic brand as a tool for managing the development of a tourist destination in the functioning of the tourism industry at the regional level remain undisclosed. Based on the review of previous publications, the purpose of this study is to determine the stages of formation and features of the gastronomic brand to increase the attractiveness and efficiency of tourist destination management. As a result of the study on the role of the gastronomic brand in the process of managing a tourist destination, it was determined: the process of creating a brand should take place in stages, and involves determining the type of territory, identifying the relationship between the number of tourists and their gastronomic needs. historical traditions of ethnic cuisine and the creation of conditions for a harmonious combination of gastronomic brand with the brand of a tourist destination; there is a directly proportional connection between the gastronomic brand of the territory and the brand of the tourist destination: the presence of the former contributes to the sustainable development of the latter; The positive impact of the gastronomic brand on the development of the tourist destination becomes possible due to the harmonization of common value-oriented components implemented in the destination branding as well as during gastronomic branding.
