  • Tourism Development Options in Marginal and Less-Favored Regions: a Case Study of Slovakia´S Gemer Region
    land Article Tourism Development Options in Marginal and Less-Favored Regions: A Case Study of Slovakia´s Gemer Region Daniela Hutárová, Ivana Kozelová and Jana Špulerová * Institute of Landscape Ecology of Slovak Academy of Sciences, P.O. Box 254, Štefánikova 3, 814 99 Bratislava, Slovakia; [email protected] (D.H.); [email protected] (I.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +421-2-32293628 Abstract: Marginal and less-favored regions are characterized by negative migration balance, lower living standards, aging of the population, a lower number of employment opportunities, lower educational level, and lower investments in the territory. Gemer is one of these regions in Slovakia. On the other hand, the Gemer region has a very interesting history and many cultural monuments, nature protection areas, and UNESCO World Heritage sites that create options for tourism develop- ment. The monuments of the Gothic Road have the potential for religious tourism. Karst relief and the sites and monuments related to mining present on the Iron Road provide suitable conditions for geotourism and mining tourism. Local villages contain traditional agricultural landscapes, which create suitable conditions for active rural tourism associated with creative tourism or agrotourism. There is also the promising possibility of cross-border cooperation with Hungary. However, the revenues from tourism do not reach the same level as in other, similar regions of Slovakia. The main failings of tourism development include the insufficient coordination of destination marketing organization stakeholders, lack of care for monuments, and underestimation of the potential of Roma culture and art production. However, analyzed state policy instruments on the promotion of tourism Citation: Hutárová, D.; Kozelová, I.; did not mitigate but rather exacerbated regional disparities in Slovakia.

In comparison, neighboring countries such as Austria and France allocated US$X.X billion and US$X.X billion respectively. Domestic tourism volumes decreased from X.X million trips in 2008 to X.X million in 2012, at a review-period CAGR of X.X%. Over the forecast period, domestic tourist volumes are expected to increase at a CAGR of X.X% to reach X.X million trips in 2017.

Analysis of the tourist potential of Slovakia showed that the industry is rapidly developing due to the presence of unique natural recreational, historical and cultural resources in the country. However, due to insufficiently high level of service, undeveloped tourism infrastructure, the country is not able to realize its potential. In order to achieve higher growth rates in the tourism industry, Slovakia needs to realize a set of long-term and short-term goals, identify key markets, adapt the tourist product to world-class, stabilize the tourism market and get new markets for existing tourist products. In order to reveal the topic, a number of techniques used for geographic and economic sciences are used: methods of analysis, systematic, dialectical, economic-comparative, geographic-economic. The purpose of this work is to explore the tourism potential of Slovakia and to determine the possibilities of increasing its efficiency in building the tourism market of the country. It is shown that individual programs of the tourist market development of the country have been successfully implemented successfully today.
