Slovakia‘s historical monuments are there to remind us of our ancestors, opening up the path to the distant past. They give the modern people knowledge, relaxation and happy times. Though a country of modest size, Slovakia is full of chateaux and old castles, some in ruins, others in excellent condition. Most of them were built centuries ago. To the nobility, castles provided fi ne family seats and, perhaps more importantly, protection against the raids of enemies. Some of the castles stood against siege for decades, others fell victim to humiliation and destruction. The numerous ruins of once majestic castles remind us of the worse side of the medieval times. Those castles that survived destructive attacks and have remained in good condition to this day, or have been partly renovated, give their visitors a taste of the country‘s history. Old arts and crafts, authentic utility and decorative objects together with shows of medieval fi ghts help these places appeal to masses of tourists.

  • Tourism Intensity in the NUTS III Regions of Slovakia
    10.29036/jots.v9i16.43 Tourism Intensity in the NUTS III Regions of Slovakia Róbert Štefko University of Prešov, Faculty of Management, Slovakia Petra Vašaničová University of Prešov, Faculty of Management, Slovakia Eva Litavcová University of Prešov, Faculty of Management, Slovakia Sylvia Jenčová University of Prešov, Faculty of Management, Slovakia Abstract Although Slovakia is not yet well known on the international tourism market, regional specificity and variability predetermine the Slovak area for the development of tourism, which has become increasingly popular in recent years. The aim of this paper is to assess and visualize the tourism intensity in the NUTS III regions of Slovakia. Therefore, we calculate indicators such as Defert index, tourism intensity rate, Charvat index, index of territorial density of tourism, tourist density rate, and index of land use. Results show that Bratislava Region had the biggest volume of tourism intensity; the second position occupied the Zilina Region; and the Presov Region ranked third. We found out that there has been a positive change in the development of almost all tourism intensity indicators during the period from 2001 to 2016. Based on the values of the calculated indicators, it seems that Slovakia still has the opportunity to develop tourism sector in all regions. Key words: Tourism, Slovakia, NUTS III regions, Tourism intensity JEL Classification: Z32 1. Introduction Tourism is often considered a global phenomenon. Its significance is evident what results from its penetration into society, politics, culture, and especially into the economy. Tourism destination is a natural entity that has unique characteristics different from other destinations in terms of conditions of tourism development (Kiráľová, & Straka, 2013, p.
