Globalization is still a phenomenon that is reflected in all spheres of human life. We are facing globalization, in areas such as finance, politics and culture. The priority areas where we see globalization is the tourism segment. When thinking about the relationship between globalization and tourism, globalization can be considered a significant factor. This factor has a negative and positive impact on the development of tourism. Sophisticated logistics systems, the introduction of modern technologies and the removal of barriers (e.g., distance, boundaries, social connections, etc.) allow large numbers of inhabitants to overcome large distances. The paper deals with the development of outbound tourism in the Czech Republic. We analyse outbound tourism in the context of globalization trends. We analyse the period from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present. There is a wide range of conditions for the development of tourism, such as a reasonable disposable income, a sufficient pool of free time for the population or security. There are numbers of other important factors for client decision and destination choices. An important factor for decisionmaking is price competition, attractiveness of the destination, and more. Comparison of destinations for outbound tourism between different periods is based on selected indicators of the TTCI index (index of tourism competitiveness) and search of the literature. The default comparison databases are Eurostat and the Czech Statistical Office.
