Social tourism in the Slovak Republic: notes on selected aspects

摘要

The paper focuses on the tourism state support tool in the Slovak Republic (Schools in Nature, ski courses for students and the state block grant to support the convalescent stays of seniors). Using the method of structured personal interviews with seniors, the paper analyses the importance of the state block grant, the awareness of this kind support, quality of the services and the price/quality relationship during the stay. Results show that the most important factor for seniors is the satisfaction with the services, and the less important factor studied is the actual state support.
