Changes in the nature of tourism emerging after the turn of the millennium demand a rethink in terms of interpretation and measurement. The political sphere, in cooperation with tourism organizations, statistical institutes and academic research centres, is striving to find an up-to-date interpretation of the economic, social and environmental impacts of the new travel-related phenomena. The traditional interpretation of tourism, based on the use of commercial accommodation, is now out-of-date, and the volume of touristic movement driven by unconventional tourism mobility should also be taken into account in formulating strategy, legislative preparation, development decisions and in the operation of supporting systems. In this study, we try to achieve a balance between theory and practice based on a review of domestic and international literature and a secondary analysis of UNWTO and CSO databases, our purpose being to recognize the potential of so-called invisible tourism. This lies outside statistical data collection but may contribute substantially to the growth of tourism-related revenues both at regional and national level.
