- physical (or environmental) bandwidth – limiting the maximum number of
visitors that can be located in this territory. By this limit, the cultural and historical
environment is destroyed by the influence of tourism.
- the economic bandwidth – the limit over which profit indicators are falling, and
this placement becomes less attractive to visit.
- social bandwidth – the number of visitors that the territory can take without
adversely affecting other socio-economic activities that support its existence.

The fall of the tourist product quality, in the end, leads to a decline in tourism.
Therefore, the specific ecological characteristics of each tourism project should be
thoroughly analyzed to determine its bandwidth. Based on the analysis, the most
optimal option and level of development that is possible under the given conditions are
selected.
The notion of bandwidth needs to be taken into account in the three stages of
tourism management, namely:
- development of tourism policy;
- detailed studying the state of tourism;
