The Lipno region is highly exploited for recreation in summer months and newly in winter months as well. Two basic attributes play an important role - the dominant seasonal character and low population density in all region. Villages situated in the upper part of the Lipno Dam lack the infrastructure necessary for the development of the tourism, whereas intensive development is evident in Frymburk and Lipno nad Vltavou. The incomes are gradualy divided in two seasonal peaks. This state is related to successful innovations of selected tourism products.
