"Strengths of the region
Now I see that Karviná has a large number of the positive aspects. Big advantage is the destination of the city which is near to border to Slovak Republic and Poland. This fact brings a lot of potential customers and especially tourists. Another advantage is good railway and road system to near towns. Significant for this region is existence of Žermanice dam (Frýdek - Místek) and Těrlicko dam which are centres of relaxation and recreation centres.

Weaknesses of the region

This region has totally destroyed and deformed landscape by industrial activities. The air is very polluted by harmful gases. This region is connected with a high rate of unemployment. Next problem is low professional level personnel in arrangement tourists and nescience foreign language. And also lack of investment capital from abroad for enterprise.

Current trends and Future plan for tourism development of the region

It is quite hard to write something about future plan for tourism in this region. I think that there is a lot of positive sites of tourism. But on the other hand it is fact that people know Karviná as a city which is totally destroyed by industry especially by coal-mining.
Karviná and the Karviná region belongs to the most poor region in our republic. Todays state is caused in changing of economical priorities. This region is estabilished on coal mining and heavy industry. Today this part of our national economy is in decline. There are supports of foreign investors, which has allready invested millions in developed zones.
I think that there are big changes to pumpt finantial support from european develope funds, for example Phare or Sapard. But the finantial resourcers aren´t the only problem. There is just the rentability and profitability of each program. Threre must be conception in developing this region. The institutions should get better in communicationg between communities, develope agencies, government and develope funds. The programs should be well prepaired to short the process, because there will be many competitors to get the money. There will be one important moment – entering our republic to European union. There will be important to use the non boarder travelling."
