Microbreweries and beer tourism are a good example of the „neolocalism” turn in the globalized world. As a reaction to the unified beer offer of the large transnational brewery groups, there is a clear increase of the consumers’ demand for the bigger diversity of the beer offer. Seeking for the new beer styles in unique places – the beer tourism – is targeted not just to the microbreweries, but also to multitap restaurants with the large beer offer and to the beer festivals. The goal of this paper is to map the growing popularity of these beer tourism destinations in the Czech Republic and Poland and also among the big cities and smaller municipalities, and to compare the openness to the foreign beer brands and styles among the consumers in both countries.

Beer Tourism

The questionnaire survey was focused on the relation of university students of generation Z in the Czech Republic to beer from microbreweries. The survey involved 1,103 respondents from among Czech university students. 1,004 respondents complied with the survey conditions (they had to belong to university students and consume beer). Although 98% of beer consumed in the Czech Republic is from industrial breweries, it has turned out that the proportion of students who consume beer from industrial breweries and microbreweries is almost the same. As for beer from microbreweries, students prefer classic beers of the Pilsen type. So far, these do not circulate in beer tourism in larger quantities. The respondents agree that beer tourism will compete successfully with wine tourism. For beer tourism to develop successfully, microbreweries must also offer catering, accommodation, and other services; beer baths are in high demand at present. The economic benefits of microbreweries are in several areas – they integrate into tourist destinations, use local raw materials for beer and food preparation, create new jobs, enhance abandoned breweries and contribute to the development of rural areas.

Field Area

The purpose of this study is to express the perspective of development of the hop field area in connection with the growing number of microbreweries and the popularity of special beers in Czechia. Czech beer is a concept all over the world, it comes not only from 45 large industrial breweries, including world-famous breweries from Pilsen, Prague or České Budějovice, but is also produced in more than 480 small breweries (microbreweries), many of which are traditional family businesses. With a consumption of 141 L per person in 2018, the Czechs are among the world’s largest beer consumers and they have already surpassed even the Irish and Germans. The research performed confirmed the validity of the hypothesis about a slight positive effect of the growth in the number of microbreweries and the production of special beers on the extent of the hop field area in Czechia. In addition to the interpretation of new beer styles, this article also discusses the emergence of new aromatic hop varieties, the development of beer tourism and new sales opportunities for hop growers.

Environmental degradation is one of the most significant problems of the globalized world. This paper explores the impact of institutional development and human capital on CO2 emissions in 11 EU transition economies over the period of 2000–2018 through co-integration analysis. The co-integration analysis revealed that human capital negatively affected CO2 emissions in Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovenia, and that institutions had a negative impact on CO2 emissions in the Czech Republic. However, both institutions and human capital positively affected CO2 emissions in Latvia and Lithuania.

Globalized World

Starting a business entails huge demands on the future entrepreneur. Only a great idea and a desire to do business are not a guarantee of success. This future entrepreneur must be equipped with a wide range of knowledge, skills and personal qualities. These together form a set of business competencies. One area that clearly affects business success is logistics. Especially in today’s globalized world, without logistics, realized on top professional level, it is not possible to succeed in a tough competitive environment. Large volumes of various materials (raw materials, materials, semi-finished products, products, goods, but also people) are moved practically all over the world. Poorly controlled material flow has a direct impact on the quality of provided customer service and thus on customer satisfaction. A dissatisfied customer equals no customer. The aim of the article is to provide the attitude of successful entrepreneurs in the Czech Republic to the issue of business competencies, specifically in the field of logistics. To what extent does the future successful entrepreneur need to know about logistics, resp. about their different forms? In the text, partial results of the primary research carried out in the winter of 2018-2019 in the Czech Republic will be presented. Questions about the competence in the field of logistics have been asked by entrepreneurs, whose business has existed for at least three years. The main conclusions will be given to the need for knowledge of distribution logistics for the future successful entrepreneur.

Tourism is one of the most dynamic economic sectors, which is constantly evolving and differentiating. As a result of changing economic conditions and current social trends, the behavior of tourism participants who are looking for a more targeted and diverse offer is changing, which leads to the emergence of new and specific forms of tourism. One of these specific forms of tourism is health tourism. This paper aims to analyze tourism in Serbia and the Czech Republic with a special focus on health tourism. The Czech Republic has become one of the top health tourism destinations in Europe. On the other side in Serbia, health tourism has been in the process of development and internationalization in the past few years. In order to successfully develop health tourism, Serbia should follow the example and learn from developed countries in this field, and that is why this paper will describe good examples from the Czech Republic.

Abstract This paper investigates the size and development of the shadow economy in the Czech Republic on the state-level base over the 2005-2014 period. The multiple indicators multiple causes (MIMIC) model is used to assess the estimation of the shadow economy size. I investigate how labour market, number of people with at least one distraint, and the burden of taxation might contribute to the existence of the shadow economy. While the former two are important determinants of the shadow economy, I find no evidence to prove any significant impact of distraints on the shadow economy size. As for the country’s particular regions, I find that those surrounding big cities, especially Prague, have, on average, a smaller shadow economy size, whereas regions in the borderlands (former Sudetenland) suffer from a larger shadow economy.
