Managing the future policy and strategy of tourism development is becoming increasingly challenging due to the constantly changing environment. It is crucial to identify key dimensions and implement the concept of sustainable development to ensure tourism development is sustainable. This paper aims to research the dimensions of sustainable tourism development in European Union countries and the Western Balkans. The goal is to analyze the homogeneity of these countries in terms of sustainability of tourism and travel. Additionally, this paper aims to determine the level of deviation of the Western Balkans from the European Union countries in terms of economic, ecological, and social sustainability of tourism development. Identifying critical components of tourism sustainability in these countries is important for creating strategic guidelines to manage tourism and directing supply and demand in the dynamic tourism market.

Zarządzanie przyszłą polityką i strategią rozwoju turystyki staje się coraz większym wyzwaniem ze względu na stale zmieniające się otoczenie. Istotne jest zidentyfikowanie kluczowych wymiarów i wdrożenie koncepcji zrównoważonego rozwoju, aby zapewnić zrównoważony rozwój turystyki. Celem artykułu jest zbadanie wymiarów rozwoju zrównoważonej turystyki w krajach Unii Europejskiej i Bałkanach Zachodnich. Celem jest analiza spójności tych krajów pod względem zrównoważoności rozwoju turystyki i podróży. Celem artykułu jest także określenie poziomu odstawania Bałkanów Zachodnich od krajów Unii Europejskiej pod względem zrównoważenia gospodarczego, ekologicznego i społecznego rozwoju turystyki. Identyfikacja kluczowych elementów zrównoważonego rozwoju turystyki w tych krajach jest ważna dla stworzenia strategicznych wytycznych do zarządzania turystyką oraz kierowania podażą i popytem na dynamicznym rynku turystycznym.
