O článku:
After a general survey of the ways in which a country in economic transition as Slovakia and especially economically backward regions in such a country can be affected positively as well as negatively by tourism the position of Slovakia within historical and present patterns of tourist flows is investigated. It is shown that Slovakia turned from a summer resort of the Hungarian upper classes before World War I via a destination of Czechs in the interwar period to one of the prominent touristic attractions of the socialist bloc in the postwar period. In spite of an ever increasing number of arrivals in the socialist era the revenues remained weak. The essence of the article is a discussion of Slovakia's perspectives within the tourist market of Central Europe under new preconditions. This discussion is based on the present structure of this market, its general trends as well as Slovakia's natural and cultural potential for tourism confronted with the structure of demand and the trends of the market. Asa result some major possibilities of a touristic development in Slovakia are mentioned.
