This thesis examines the current trends in the development of youth tourism and the key factors contributing to the promotion of domestic tourism. Youth tourism plays a significant role in increasing travel demand, supporting regional economic growth, and promoting cultural exchange. The study highlights the importance of affordable tourism services, digital technologies, government support, tourism infrastructure, and educational programs in encouraging young people to travel within their own country. Furthermore, the paper discusses how innovative marketing strategies, social media platforms, and sustainable tourism practices can enhance the attractiveness of domestic destinations for young travelers. The findings indicate that strengthening youth tourism contributes to the sustainable development of the tourism industry and improves the competitiveness of domestic tourism.
