Use of Protected Historical Buildings for the Tourism

The thesis has the purpose of reviewing the problem of the use of historical buildings for the requirements of the tourism in the Prague Heritage Reservation. The heritage property fund is one of the principal parts of our national cultural heritage. The existence of preserved and maintained monuments is the basic requirement for the development of the tourism in city reservations. The theoretical part is dedicated to specify the current issues through the analysis of Prague tourism, heritage law, heritage institutions and cultural tourism. In the practical part the use of historical buildings for the requirements of the tourism, primarily commercial and cultural & educational, is crucial. Based on the confrontation of these two building functions and questionnaire analysis within the amateur and specialist public, the work tries to demonstrate the benefit of these types of use including the sustainability to the heritage property fund of the Prague Heritage Reservation
