Abstract
Youth tourism represents a specific market segment within tourism. It has a long tradition in Europe and its significance is increasing. On the basis of existing available sources and knowledge, this paper attempts to elaborate the concept of youth tourism, describe its characteristics, and then analyse the mobility and expenditure of this dynamic tourism market in more detail. Youth hostel accommodation capacity and travel flows in European countries are analysed and the main features of tourism products intended for young travellers are identified. Finally prospects for development of youth tourism in Europe are emphasized based on important key factors.Keywords
