[email protected] Szerkesztésért felelős személy: Chen Xin Kiadásért felelős személy: Huang Ping china-cee.eu According to most macroeconomic indicators, the economy of the Slovak Republic is doing relatively well. Having weathered the recession after 2008 rather well, the long-term growth is above the EU average. The growth of GDP in 2017 was 3.1% in the first quarter, 3.3% in the second, and is estimated to be 3.4% for the third quarter, signaling that growth seems to be slowing down, although still robust for EU standards. The growth of GDP for the entire year of 2017 is expected to be 3.2-3.3%. This growth was due both to domestic consumption and foreign (mainly European) demand, though as a small and open economy, Slovakia is dependent on the latter. Slovakia tries hard to attract foreign investment, especially from the West, but increasingly also from the East. Expectations of investment are one of the main benefits Slovakia expects from its membership in the 16+1 forum for cooperation between China and Central and Eastern Europe. Slovakia’s main selling points are its relatively cheap but highly skilled labor force (although the productivity of labor is among the lowest in the EU) and its membership in the EU (since 2004) and Eurozone (since 2009). It can also rely on its position as a transit country and transportation node in Europe, e.g.

  • Applied Research of Transport Infrastructure for Slovak Capital Demand
    European Scientific Journal February 2014 /SPECIAL/ edition vol.1 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 APPLIED RESEARCH OF TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE FOR SLOVAK CAPITAL DEMAND Maria Puskelova, Ing. Lubica Ondrasikova, Ing. Economics University, Slovakia Abstract Bratislava as the capital of Slovakia is very important knot in Slovak business or tourism. That is why transport infrastructure plays very important role. The increase role of green bicycle transportation and the demand for sustainable tourism require building corresponding infrastructure for urban cyclists, cycle commuters and cycle tourists. The priority of government should be to develop this industry. They should also generate pressure on private entrepreneurs operating public transportation to mind the safety of their clients. It is also related to innovation and improving the quality of services that they provide. Keywords: Tourism, transportation, disabled clients, cyclists, cycling Introduction Public transportation in developed country should be automatically supported by Municipal Corporation as well as by government. Each day it transfers thousand inhabitants and tourist. Everybody who uses public transport relies on it and expects it will be in good condition. Many tourists come to cities and towns without their own means of transport and have to rely on public transport services. These visitor are given first destination feeling through contact with railway or airport premises and then with public transport to be able to reach the chosen point. The public transportation network including cycle infrastructure in Slovakia is managed by the Ministry of Transport, Construction and Regional Development, as well as by specific cities and towns where they are or through which they pass.

Quaestiones Geographi- cae 35(4), Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań, pp. 107–120, 12 figs, 2 tables. ABSTRACT: Transport is a very important part of activities in the tourism sector. In addition to the transport of tourists to and within a destination, transport itself can be a tourist attraction. The aim of this paper is to analyse selected problems of railways in Slovakia (a decrease in the importance of railways for passenger transport in Slovakia in the past 20 years, discontinued passenger transport on certain railway tracks and the modernisation of other tracks, and zero-fare public rail transport services for certain categories of passengers), and to present good examples of the use of narrow-gauge railways for the purposes of tourism (the Tatra Electric Railways and the Kysuce-Orava Forest Railway).

DGAPanalyse 6 | May 2014 Summary Slovakia in the EU: An Unexpected Success Story? by Milan Nič, Marek Slobodník, and Michal Šimečka Slovakia has emerged as an unlikely success story of the 2004 EU enlargement. The country’s first decade as a member state was marked by robust growth – spur- red by pro-market reforms of the early 2000s – and relative economic resilience and political stability during the global economic crisis. Thematic priorities on the EU level have included cohesion policy, energy, EU enlargement, and the Euro- pean Neighborhood Policy (ENP). Slovak diplomacy has seen regional groupings – above all the Visegrad format – as the most effective way of pursuing its policy preferences. As the only eurozone member in the Visegrad Group (V4), Slovakia remains a reliable if somewhat passive supporter of deeper European integration, supporting a fiscally responsible approach.

    HOTELS ❙ EVENTS ❙ FEATURES ❙ VENUES ❙ DMC ❙ ACTIVITIES ❙ INCENTIVES ❙ SHOPPING VISIT THE LITTLE BIG COUNTRY SLOVAKIA TRY www.mice-cee.com 2008/2009 A4 holid image poster 1 11/6/08 10:04:45 Ladies and Gentlemen, t is with the utmost pleasure that I invite you to Slovakia, a picturesque Icountry located right in the heart of Europe, through the pages of this magazine. Over the course of the last 15 years of its independence, the Slovak Republic has achieved a remarkable success that has exceeded the expectations at the times of its inception. As the leader of this country, I can proudly say that Slovakia is a respected democratic state, a member of the European Union, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and several other international institutions. Thanks to the rapid growth of the Slovak economy, the country ranks among the fastest developing states within the EU. This has paved the way for several measures, including the country’s entrance into the Schengen area last year, which subsequently removed all border checks with EU member states, and the introduction of the EURO from January 2009. Joining the Eurozone will also bring forth new possibilities in the area of the travel industry, whose development is one of the government’s priorities. I am honoured to invite you to our beautiful Slovakia. A country that is both young, dynamic and modern, as well as possessing a rich history and cultural heritage dating back several centuries. This is the Slovakia I would like to invite you to. Slovakia is perfect for those looking for active relaxation in the mountains, combining their stay with wellness and a visit to one of the local spas that are equipped with geothermal springs.
