ABSTRACT IN SLOVENE: Prispevek obravnava obiske slovenskih izseljencev in njihovih potomcev v nekdanji domovini v obdobju med obema vojnama. V dvajsetih letih preteklega stoletja je obiskovanje ...slovenskih izseljencev iz evropskih drzav, kasneje pa tudi iz Zdruzenih drzav Amerike, postalo v veliki meri organizirano in je bilo v Kraljevini Jugoslaviji delezno precejsnje pozornosti takratnih oblasti. Izleti slovenskih izseljencev iz evropskih drzav so bili najpogosteje organizirani s strani katoliskih drustev in verskih voditeljev, obiske iz Zdruzenih drzav Amerike pa so praviloma vodili predstavniki posameznih podpornih organizacij ali usluzbenci potovalnih uradoy, ki so v tem obdobju uspesno delovali znotraj tedanje slovensko-ameriske izseljenske skupnosti. // ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH: Until the beginning of the 1920s, the visits of Slovenian emigrants and their descendants to their former homeland took place predominantly on the individual level. Visits from European countries (such as Germany, France, Belgium and the Netherlands), where a considerable part of Slovenian emigrant communities was located, became more organized in the mid-1920s. Emigrant priests and teachers from the various Catholic organizations which operated among the emigrant communities have played an important role in the planning, coordination and guidance of such excursions. Emigrants preferred to travel to their former homeland with an organized group due to the lenient procedure in arranging travel documents, favorable prices of transport and the journey itself, as it had included a specially prepared itinerary and represented a unique social event for the participants, contributing to the preservation of their ethnic identity. The organizers occasionally prepared an independent holiday with the educational program for the emigrant children (holiday colonies). In the interwar period, emigrants who lived in the North American and other non-European countries were facing several problems when traveling to the former homeland. Due to the geographical distance, their journeys included transcontinental travel with a shipping company and were therefore long and financially challenging. Several travel agencies were established among the Slovenian communities in Cleveland and New York in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Although their service mostly focused on the sale of tickets for major shipping companies, they later began organizing group trips to the area of Slovenian ethnic territory. Emigrant visitors often combined these trips with a visit to the European capitals; therefore such excursions usually lasted several weeks and have with time acquired a »tourist« connotation.
The Croatian Littoral has been the most important tourist destination for tourists from Slovenia for decades. The coastal areas of Istria, Kvarner, and Dalmatia, including the Adriatic islands, ...became widely popular among Slovenes in the period of intense tourism development in the once common state of Yugoslavia. Today Croatia is the destination of as many as 60% of all private trips from Slovenia. In the introduction the affinity of Slovene tourists for travel abroad is supplemented with statistical data on their visits to the Republic of Croatia. In the next sections special emphasis is placed on the number of Slovene tourists and overnight stays, their average length of stay and spatial distribution in the Croatian Littoral in 2007. These data are then compared to those from 1999. The central section of the article consists of a detailed analysis of the content of the internet tourism offer of Slovene travel agencies as presented on their websites. The objects of the analysis were the structure of advertised destinations in the Croatian Littoral across counties and the structure of offer by type of tourist services (summer vacation, travelling/trip, cruising).
Abstract
This chapter analyzes the recent increase in tourists traveling from Asia to South Central Europe. The work specifically examines the cross cultural communication about religious works of ...art in popular guidebooks. Since tourism represents a widespread global phenomenon, the guidebook descriptions of religious contents should be objective and accessible for all potential users/tourists, regardless of their cultural, historical, religious, and ethnic background. The analyses of the description of four Catholic cathedrals in South Central Europe in 12 well-known guidebooks demonstrates that the in-depth religious explanations in the literature published in English are minimal and arguably inadequate for the growing Asian market.
Periodical newspapers, which were published in the languages of ethnical emigrant communities in the 19th and 20th century, represent one of the major indicators of organized cultural and social life ...of a particular emigrant community in the foreign country. Beside the informative role, ethnical publications also had an important educational function as they served the emigrant community as a reading material in the native language. The article evaluates the role and importance of Vestnik magazine, which was published by Slovenian Association Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. Vestnik, the third oldest publication in Slovene language in Australia, had some exceeded its initial mission of an ethnical association newsletter and became a monthly newspaper for the entire Slovene emigrant community in Australia. In the article author presents a review of editors, editorial boards and correspondents, analyses main topics of reporting and debates the editorial policies towards the former republic of Yugoslavia as they appear in the magazine's four-decade history.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all forms of spatial leisure mobility, including the phenomenon of second homes. New motives for second home use have emerged: the desire to escape the city crowds ...in a safe haven, the opportunity to work or study remotely and the need to spend vacations in commercial second homes, which offer more privacy than other accommodation facilities. The study aimed to identify changes in the patterns of second-home use and perception of second-home users on the Island of Krk during the pandemic compared to the period before the outbreak of the coronavirus disease. The research was based on a survey of second-home users. The data were analysed using descriptive, inferential and multivariate statistics (factor analysis, hierarchical regression analysis and MANOVA) with the IBM SPSS Statistics software. Changes in the perception of second-home use on the Island of Krk were noticeable. However, depending on the indicator, they did not manifest in significant differences compared to the pre-pandemic period and were present among 15% to 30% of second-home users.
Intense emigration of Slovenes to Australia started after the World War One & reached climax in the 1950s & 1960s. According to appraisals of several Slovene emigrant organizations, the number of ...Slovenians settled in Australia in the 1980s must have been about 25.000-30.000. Despite the fact that Slovenians in Australia are the fourth largest non-European Slovene emigrant community (after the Slovene emigrant communities in the USA, Canada & Argentina), they have so far been subject to very few research studies. The present article is therefore a humble contribution to the research of Slovene emigration in Australia, which -- considering the extent of its activities -- would require several vast research studies. The few female authors having dealt with this community are Cebulj Sajko, Birsa, Mikacic & Mikola. The most numerous Slovene community in Australia is in the Federal State of Victoria; the there settled Slovene emigrants are organized in six ethnic associations, sharing a common religious center. The article discusses one of the major & first organizations of the Slovene emigration -- the religious center of the Holy Brothers Ciril & Metod in Melbourne. It brings a survey of the most important turning points & events in its history. Soon after its establishment it surpassed the limits of a Catholic Franciscan "mission" & significantly contributed to the preservation of the Slovene community's ethnic identity. To this day it remains an integral part of Slovene emigrant life. References. Adapted from the source document.
