The relationship between sustainability and tourism proves to be a very relevant issue of today’s economic and social development debates. Expansion and further and further development on the one hand enforced by the world market and sustainability, and localisation on the other hand enforced by the local population are facing with each other for decades now. This paper deals with this up-to-date issue focusing on Pécs’s tourism industry especially from the point of view of its sustainable aspects. Of course, these investigations are strongly connected to the city’s urban development issues as well so in this article we try to appoint a combined view of the city’s urbanisation and tourism issues. The actuality of the topic could also be highlighted in that the city is the Cultural Capital of Europe in 2010, so in this respect apart from the general perspectives of its tourism and hospitality industry, further developments of tourism is investigated as well.
