Social, economic and socio-cultural aspects of CouchSurfing phenomenon

The Bachelor thesis on "Social, economic and socio-cultural aspects of CouchSurfing phenomenon" is dedicated to the contemporary trends in tourism and refers especially to the young generation and its current needs in context of travelling. These trends are considered as quite similar to the phenomenon called CouchSurfing, the biggest social network connecting travellers from all around the world, and everything this phenomenon represents. The primary aim of this work is not by any means a comprehensive description of CouchSurfing itself, but an effort to place that phenomenon into a proper context of all social, economic or socio-cultural aspects of the project (mainly focusing on questions why was CouchSurfing established and what it actually brings or influences)
