“…Towards the end of the 18 th century, traveling (even in "mining") cases which was usually related solely to education or work, began to embrace embrac a new romantic content, which was also focused on the beauty of nature and the landscape with which romantic traveling was linked mainly (Chard, 2002). In our territory, this was mainly due to an increased interest in the Tatras, which was later fully developed in the 19 th century also in the other mountain ranges on the Slovak territory (Chorvát, 2006).…”

“…At the end of the 18 th century, the word "tourist" -no longer a traveler -appeared in the contemporary writings when it was used in 1780 in a guidebook for the Lake District in Northern England. Later in 1800, it appeared in a book on the use of new English words, where the following was written: "A traveler is now called a tourist" (Chorvát, 2006). The term tourism was definitely acknowledged in 1811 when it was included in the new Oxford English Dictionary (Berghoff, Korte, 2002).…”

“…Slovak dictionary "Tourist industry -Hospitality" (Gúčik et al, 2006) does not mention the term "tourism." Tourist industry professionals (especially economists and marketing specialists, whose works are also used by geographers) narrow the term to designate sporting activities related to movement and staying in nature to discover their home country, natural beauties and cultural heritage (Chorvát, 2006;Kompasová, 2010). This term is replaced in Slovak language dictionary with terms "turizmus", "turistika."…”

The article defines concepts related to mining tourism and the reasons why some destinations are chosen as the sites of hundreds of thousands of visitors per year, while others are only visited by "regional fans" of mining history. The authors attempt to ask questions, which will be clarified by formulating a better definition and understanding of mining tourism. Issues discussed include marketing and management of mining tourism, as well as tourists' preferences. The article focuses on definitions of different forms of tourism, to ultimately argue that mining tourism is a separate type of tourism. A substantial part of the article is devoted to historical personalities, whose activities and interests in historic mining regions of present-day Slovakia can be considered as the beginnings of mining tourism.

In recent years, there has been a surge in interest towards innovative methods of landscape presentation across various tourism sectors, including natural heritage. Geotourism exemplifies this trend, emerging as a distinct form of tourism primarily centered on inanimate elements of nature, accentuating the aesthetic value of landscapes. Presently, geotourism serves as a platform for showcasing landscape along with its historical narrative, contemporary attributes, and, inherently, its evolutionary trajectory. This paper delves into novel avenues within geotourism, introducing the concept of nostalgic geotourism. This concept involves the portrayal of geological heritage through the lens of historical inquiry. The authors employ a multidimensional analysis to forge a robust theoretical framework underpinning the emergence of this unconventional form of tourism dedicated to landscape presentation. Additionally, the paper furnishes a case study conducted in the High Tatras region, featuring a 19th-century guided tour (lecture) on non-living nature. Through this illustration, the theoretical construct of nostalgic geotourism is applied to the locale. This heralds a fresh dimension of tourism reminiscent of traditional nostalgia-based tourism, with a pronounced cultural focus. The innovative concept fosters an increased interest in exploring geological heritage and natural landscapes, while emphasizing their sentimental value.

Naprieč hranicami, mimo autentického a falošného: transnacionálna antropológia, turizmus a identita

The paper shows how two rarely linked fields of inquiry, transnational anthropology and tourism studies, can mutually enrich themselves. The overview of literature supports the view that, regarding the subject of transnationalism, social sciences have so far disproportionately focused on phenomena such as migration, diasporas and hybrid identities. Tourism, conceptualised as a globalised and globalising process par excellence, contrasts with these in that is constituted by national-boundary crossing not out of need, but in pursuit of pleasure and a desirable lifestyle. The author briefly outlines the two domains and then sets out to establish the relevance of their fusion in research on identity constructions and their relationship with place. He specifically elaborates the issues of ‚authenticity' of emergent native ‚tourist ethnicities' and of the cultural capital that low-budget independent travellers (backpackers) allegedly generate by transnational mobility.
