ABSTRACT
Resilience designates the properties which are essential to survive crises unscathed if possible, or even come off crises in a strengthened way. Resilience is, just like regionality – understood as tourism-related destination management. One can support large currency unions or advocate national or even private currency competition, but a region or destination neither way is regarded an optimal currency zone. Globalized, liberalized and standardized money and financial systems simplify the touristic core business. The separation of money symbol and value was a prerequisite for an even more profound abstraction. As long as the established monetary and banking systems continue to function, the author believes that the expectations in regional-economic effects of complementary money systems and regio money systems should not be exaggerated; such effects should play a secondary role. The rise of modern banking began what can be called the process of dissolution or abstraction. Regio funds are a special form of complementary currencies.
