Opis: Glamping is an innovative type of accommodation focused on green, health, adventure and experience concepts of travel. In recent years, Glamping has emerged as a niche in tourism with its market product and has become a promising direction for developing the European tourism industry. The study attempts to consolidate and systematize the information available on Glamping to expand existing sites, create new ones, and form a regulated and understandable glamping offer for tourists to increase the demand for this type of travel. Also, the study aims to identify factors that contribute to the popularization of Glamping and find ways to strengthen visitors' interest and increase the market share. In addition, the expectations of various target groups when choosing Glamping were analyzed to develop a strategy to maintain the interest of regular guests and attract new ones. With a qualitative research method, we identified key factors affecting the success and occupancy of glamping sites. Also, the study used a systematic literature review to examine and synthesize evidence of specific factors influencing glamping development. Glamping positively affects the activity and growth of nature-based tourism focused on outdoor recreation, above all, camping, reducing the seasonality factor and expanding the time frame of active operation beyond the summer season. The basic concept of Glamping involves minimal environmental impact and close contact between man and nature. Since the demand for recreation outside the urban environment is extremely high in modern society, and concerns about environmental pollution are growing yearly, Glamping is the exact tourism niche that can satisfy those needs. We found that efforts need to be made at the legislative level to establish generally accepted standards and regulations that Glamping must follow, as a robust legal framework will help overcome barriers to development. In this regard, we suggest conducting a study among glamping business owners in the future to identify the problems that glamping faces, understand better the existing barriers, and focus more effectively on Glamping popularization and development.

Opis: This study explores the distribution of agrowellness products and services from a sustainability perspective, focusing on consumer perceptions in Slovenia’s Eastern Cohesion Region. Utilizing an empirical approach through an online survey, the research assesses how sustainable lifestyle practices influence the frequency of agrowellness goods consumption and their perceived availability. The study employs structural equation modeling (SEM) to test four hypotheses, revealing that sustainable lifestyle practices positively affect the frequency of agrowellness product usage, enhancing the perception of product availability. A critical novel contribution of the research is identifying sociodemographic factors as significant moderators of these relationships, offering more profound insights into consumer behavior. Additionally, the frequency of use mediates the link between a sustainable lifestyle and perceived availability, with gender, age, education, and the place of residence as essential moderators. The findings contribute to theory and practice, offering actionable recommendations for marketing and distribution strategies to enhance the accessibility and appeal of agrowellness products. These insights provide valuable guidance for stakeholders in agriculture, rural development, and wellness tourism, with broader implications for policy development aimed at promoting sustainable lifestyles and supporting rural economies.

Opis: The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of wine tourism on well-being. Wine tourism includes many activities, and not only wine tastings, perhaps paired with food tastings. It includes hiking and biking in the vineyards, reading literature on wine (fiction and non-fiction), attending seminars and conferences on wine, getting acquainted with new landscapes and socializing with others. Another issue relates to whether wine, particularly red wine, confers additional health benefits. Within the Mediterranean diet, wine seems to be an essential component. The starting point for wine and health studies was the “French Paradox”, which suggests that consuming red wine daily not only helps the cardiovascular system, but also increases lifespan due to the resveratrol found in the skins and tannins of red grapes. Recent evidence suggests that wine consumption is correlated with less stress and prevention of the development of certain cancers.

Opis: Many modern countries have significant problems with disparities in development between core and periphery. Municipality of Kupres in Bosnia and Herzegovina is one typical example of peripheral area, which is located within the sparsely populated region of Dinaric Karst Highland. It is taken for the case study in this paper, because it shows certain signs of economic activation in the field of tourism. However, its mainstream tourism offer is of seasonal character, and it is not sufficient for sustainable economic growth and significant progress in socio-economic sense. That is why tourism offer need to become more diversified. Methodology in this paper is focused on analysis of all potentials and motives that wider area of Kupres possesses, which can be valorized through systematic approach of institutions and local community. It is intended to emphasize a significance of geographical expertise in these kinds of problematic. Field research and GIS analysis are used for exploration of study area.
