The thesis deals with sustainable tourism in the largest region of Spain - Andalusia. The subjects of the investigation are two selected types of tourism -- recreational tourism and golf tourism. Tourism is a key and strategic element of Andalusian economy, which, however, due to exhaustion of the traditional model started from the 80th years to stagnate and highlighted the need to protect the environment. The extensive nature of tourism has caused the depletion of scarce resources in destinations, problems with urbanization in tourist destinations, seasonal fluctuations and negative impacts on the environment. The thesis is thus concerned with how to implement tools for sustainable tourism in the region. It includes analysis of documents from this area, specifically Plan for protection of the environment of Andalusia until 2017, Agenda 21 for Andalusia and the General plan for sustainable tourism in Andalusia 2008 - 2011. In the part of thesis with the suggestions are reviewed documents for the sustainability of beaches that are a condition for the development of recreational tourism and also the golf courses that quality plays an important role in the development of golf tourism in the region. Andalusian coast is a key area for the application of the principles of sustainable development and one solution is to diversify the tourist offer in the rural, sport, cultural and congress tourism. The seasonal nature of recreational tourism can be mitigated through the development and promotion of golf tourism. The analysis showed that for recreational tourism, there is a need for amendments in legislation on national and regional level, the local authorities must develop activities in order to make the beaches accessible for all segments of tourism, because their actual aspect and equipment does not respond the aspect outlined in the strategies and action plans. Golf tourism is a priority area for development and a segment of tourism with a strategic and high potential. On the other hand construction of golf course brings change of the landscape, damage of natural and cultural heritage, biodiversity loss and constant pressure on resources - particularly water and soil pollution by excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides. But most of these negative effects can be minimized or completely eliminated with good planning, locating, constructing and managing a golf course. The important tools for sustainability are, as for recreational tourism just like for golf tourism, certificates of quality.
