Abstract
Borders have significant potential as tourist attractions, and there are many aspects of unique border locations capable of attracting people’s attention. One such attraction would be the tripoint, i.e. a place where the borders of three different countries meet physically at a single point. One of the newest such features in Europe – where the borders of Poland, Slovakia and Czechia meet in the Beskid Mountains – provides an example of far-reaching border-related changes in the EU, the creativity of local authorities as supported by EU funds, and the creation of a new transboundary meeting space with a strong integration-related identity. It also exemplifies the concept of a new tourist space beyond traditional tourist destinations. The development of tourism at tripoints is modelled ideographically. Spatio-temporal analysis with scalar dimensions shows the spatial relationships between tripoints and tourism development: the central point, the immediate vicinity, the proximal neighborhood (or local zone) and the regional zone. The tripoint examined here supports a proposal for a spatial planning model at tripoints in Europe.

边境口岸如何为跨境旅游发展提供机遇
摘要
边界作为旅游景点具有巨大的潜力,并且有许多独特的边界位置能够吸引人们的注意力。一个这样的景点就是三角点,即三个不同国家的边界在一个点上物理交汇的地方。欧洲最新的此类特征之一——波兰、斯洛伐克和捷克的边界在贝斯基德山脉交汇——提供了一个例子,说明欧盟与边界相关的深远变化、地方当局在欧盟资金支持下的创造力、并创建具有强烈整合相关特性的新跨界会议空间。它还体现了超越传统旅游目的地的新旅游空间的概念。三角洲旅游业的发展以表意方式进行建模。具有标量维度的时空分析显示了三点与旅游发展之间的空间关系:中心点、紧邻区域、近邻(或局部区域)和区域区域。这里检查的三点支持欧洲三点空间规划模型的提议。
