Nowadays tourism is an important factor for socio-cultural transformations which are particularly noticeable in tourist reception regions. We can observe two major trends of cultural changes. In the regions of mass tourism (mainly of recreational function) we have to face the progressive westernization of space, which is most visible in a sort of unification of spatial and architectural systems. Nevertheless, the growing number of examples shows that local authorities and communities have started to pay more attention to the preservation of a region’s cultural heritage. Hence, various aspects of fostering the regional culture might be observed in both small towns, which are in the so-called tourist penetration stage, as well as in the large centres of mass tourism, where they are of rather cognitive function. In the present article, these changes are discussed by means of selected examples, with the focus of attention falling on the character of architectural forms.
