Slovenia As a Tourist Destination for Czech Tourists Slovenia as a tourist destination for Czech tourists COLLEGE OF POLYTECHNICS IN JIHLAVA Department of Travel/Tourism Slovenia as a tourist destination for Czech tourists Bachelor thesis Author: Alena Šimková Supervisor: RNDr. Jitka Ryšková Jihlava 2012 Copyright © 2012 Alena Šimková Abstract ŠIMKOVÁ, Alena: Slovenia as a tourist destination for Czech tourists. Bachelor thesis. The College of Polytechnics Jihlava. Department of Travel/Tourism. Supervisor RNDr. Jitka Ryšková, Degree of qualification: Bachelor. Jihlava 2012. 78 pages. The thesis is divided into two parts. In the theoretical one there are some very attractive places of interests described; but the most important part characterizes the Czechs' and Slovenians' relationship. It outlines the history of political, cultural, scientific, and economic relations between the two nations from medieval times to the present. In the second, practical part, the most appealing places for Czech tourists are highlighted. They were determined from the results of my survey conducted among Czech public. Considering these attractive places as well as the gaps in Czech travel agencies' offer, two different holiday packages, tailor- made for Czech tourists, were created. The material of this thesis is based on the survey of tourism potential in Slovenia, the survey of the Czech travellers' needs and requirements, interviews with Czechs and Slovenians, and last but not least on my own experience from the time when I stayed and travelled in Slovenia. Key words: Agritourism, Czech tourist, Czech-Slovenian relations, gastronomy, holiday package, Slovenia, tourism. 6 Abstrakt ŠIMKOVÁ, Alena: Slovinsko jako turistická destinace pro české turisty. Bakalářská práce. Vysoká škola polytechnická Jihlava. Katedra Cestovního ruchu. Vedoucí bakalářské práce RNDr. Jitka Ryšková, Stupeň kvalifikace: Bakalář. Jihlava 2012. 78 stran. Úkolem této práce je pozvednout povědomí Čechů o Slovinsku s cílem zvýšení zájmu českých turistů o tuto zemi jako o atraktivní turistickou destinaci, jež nabízí široké možnosti pro trávení dovolené. Inspirací pro tuto práci mi byl můj studijní pobyt Erasmus na slovinském pobřeží. V teoretické části jsou popsány různé atraktivity Slovinska jako důvody, proč navštívit Slovinsko. Ovšem nejdůležitější součástí teoretické části je představení česko-slovinských vztahů a dlouhé společné historie těchto dvou blízkých národů. Praktická část se zabývá průzkumem české společnosti, jejího zájmu o Slovinsko, ale především požadavky a preferencemi českých turistů na cestování a trávení dovolené. Na základě dotazníkového průzkumu je vytvořen profil českého turisty a dva balíčky dovolených ve Slovinsku, šitých na míru českým turistům. Bakalářská práce je sepsána na základě osobních zkušeností ve Slovinsku a doplněna různými ověřenými cestovatelskými zdroji. Významným dílem k tvorbě této bakalářské práce přispěla data čerpaná z dotazníkového průzkumu, doplněna o data z Asociace českých cestovních kanceláří a agentur. Velký podíl na této práci mají také osobní rozhovory s Čechy i Slovinci. Klíčová slova: agroturistika, cestovní ruch, česko-slovinské vztahy, český turista, gastronomie, Slovinsko, zájezd. 7 I would like to thank my supervisor RNDr. Jitka Ryšková for her support and also for her rare advice that has helped to make my bachelor thesis. I would also like to thank all respondents, Czechs as well as Slovenians, for their kindness and willingness. 8 Prohlašuji, že předložená bakalářská práce je původní a zpracoval/a jsem ji samostatně.

Donat Mg is recommended for heartburn, stomach and bile syndromes, constipation, distur- bances of hearth rhythm, muscle cramps …, because it lowers the level of raised cholesterol, reduces the possi- bility of kidney stone formation, lowers raised uric acid level, assists in the prevention of osteoporosis, improves metabolism, helps to burn fat, etc. Thus, Donat Mg influences digestive organs and metabolism.

  • Isotopic Investigations of Mineral Waters in Rogaška Slatina
    ISOTOPIC INVESTIGATIONS OF MINERAL WATERS IN ROGAŠKA SLATINA B. Trček1,2 and A. Leis3 1University of Maribor, Faculty of civil engineering, Smetanova ulica17, SI-2000 Maribor, Slovenia; email: [email protected] 2Geological Survey of Slovenia, Dimičeva ulica 14, SI-1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia; email: [email protected] 3Joanneum Research, Institute for Water, Energy and Sustainability, Elisabethstraße 16/I, A-8010 Graz, Austria; email: [email protected] Abstract Isotopic investigations of mineral waters of the Rogaška Slatina area, which belong to a magnesium- sodium-hydrogen carbonate-sulphate facies, were performed to contribute to the knowledge on the groundwater recharge area and dynamics, on connections between aquifers and on solute transport. 2H, 18 3 13 14 O, H, C-DIC and C analyses were made in groundwater samples while CO2 of mineral waters was analysed for 13C. Results indicated the meteoric origin of Rogaška mineral waters and their mean residence time, which ranges between 7200 and 3400 years. Besides, they reflected the influences of recent groundwater recharge and ultimately contributed to the water body vulnerability assessment. 1. INTRODUCTION Rogaška Slatina is famous by mineral water, which was discovered in this place in the time of Old Romans. The Bottling Company of Droga Kolinska d.d. is one of the powerful economic activities in Rogaška Slatina today. It produces natural mineral waters (Donat Mg, Tempel and Edina), spring water and soft drinks. Besides, aquifers with mineral water are exploited also for spa needs. Numerous investigations of Rogaška groundwaters were subjects to balneology and to larger exploitation quantities (Nosan, 1975), that is why information are missing that are essential for definition of the Rogaška aquifer system and for its protection.
