Trends in the development of the main components of financial and economic security of the country indicate their significant variability and dependence on a combination of internal and external factors. An important place among the drivers of influence on the level of financial and economic security is occupied by tax revenues. Given the prolonged national and transnational market turbulence, which is observed in most sectors of the economy, one of the biggest threats to the financial and economic security of most countries is the presence of a significant volume of shadow operations. The consequences of their implementation are the lack of tax revenues in the budget and the reduction of the country's financial viability in financing economic development programs.

Alternative forms of tourism are increasingly recognized as key to sustainable development. The reasons for this are that, contrary to mass tourism with its negative impact on the visited areas, alternative tourism causes a form of balanced growth, in harmony with the environment and in socio-cultural terms. The development of tourism in a sustainable way is relatedto the implementation of an innovative strategy by touristic organizations. The advantage of tourist resources is that they can be reused without compromising their quality, provided, however, that no actions are taken to destroy or change them irrevocably. The biggest guidance for strengthening tourism is the ability of managers to formulate a strategy for achieving competitive advantage for their organizations. The goals of sustainable touristic development are economic viability, local prosperity, quality of employment, social equality, visitor satisfaction, local control, social well-being, cultural wealth, physical integrity, biodiversity, efficient use of resources, cleanliness of the environment. In this respect, the cluster model of organization and coordination of tourism activity is a prerequisite for economic and social efficiency, especially for the development of touristic destinations in local settlements and resorts, in combination with various public authorities and especially between private companies and enterprises.Whatever the environment of the region, care must be taken to preserve it for future generations. Today's world is very dynamic and change is intangible. The purpose of adaptation is not to destroy the principles of sustainability. If they, as well as the adoption of adequate policies, remain unused, then tourism tourism will be to the detriment of the environment.

Economic activities developed in the framework of sustainable development concept have to ensure balanced economic and technological development without weakening the social and natural environmental conditions. Environmental impact assessment using ecological footprint method helps to choose sustainable economic activities and technologies which are appropriate to sustainable development concept and has less impact to environment. This method is usually used as a public ecological and environmental educational tool and sometimes applied for creation of measures and programs for sustainable regional and economic development. The research problem is to determine whether the ecological footprint method is an appropriate tool to measure environmental impact of agricultural entities in accordance with sustainable development aspects. The paper aim is to evaluate the cereal farms using sustainable process index which is a member of ecological footprint method. The analysis was performed by analyzing the cereal farms which are growing wheat, rye and oats crops in Austria and Lithuania. The calculation was carried out using SPIonExcel software program. The results showed that the most significant environmental impacts arise from the use of fertilizers and the use of agricultural machinery (tractors and harvesters and the biggest share from the total ecological footprint goes to the pollution of air and water. The research also showed that if the ecological footprint method is used with a support service this can be a useful instrument for farmers showing how to improve farming from the ecological viewpoint and how to increase energy efficiency and reduce the use of primary resources.
