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: The traditional approach in public transport planning was to collect travel demand data for a more extended period and compose timetables to serve this demand. There are two significant identifiable issues. In the rural areas and off-peak hours, public transport operators provide much more capacities than needed. On the other hand, more capacities than scheduled are needed on certain lines at certain departures on some sporadically occurring occasions. The problem is how to react to short-term changes (daily) triggered by exceptional circumstances and events and midterm changes (weekly, monthly basis) in travel demand. We can trigger changes in travel demand chiefly by introducing a desirable (almost for free) tariff system applied to specific populations. No long-term travel response data exists for this kind of intervention, but an immediate response in public transport supply is needed. In Slovenia, public transport for free for the whole population over 65 years was introduced. With the modern ticketing system, which was designed to be as simple as possible for users (that means "check-in only" at the moment of boarding), the research task was to analyze the travel behavior of the retired population, faced with a new attractive option to travel, based on data of purchased tickets and their afterward validation, for better mid-and long-term planning. Our study finds that ITS technology (in this case, e-ticketing system) can satisfactorily solve the discussed planning and management task.

Opis: This article approaches personal memory travels with the aim of investigating people’s encounters with the changing environment in relation to time. It centers on the intra-actions with perceptual ephemera as immaterial non-solid entities to argue that our relational reality is a cyclical, dis-continuous process of past and present encounters. The study is grounded in the post-humanist performativ-ity approach and based on personal life histories of memory trips gathered in Slovenia with the help of in-depth interviews and photo-elicitation. Findings suggest that travelers’ engagements with ephemera at site illustrate complex entanglements between human and other (immaterial) entities as co-constituted in time and from within time, provoking the production of situated and temporally sensitive knowledge about the more-than-human world. The article endorses the significance of memory work and human engagements with absences and resonances, both allusions to other (past) contexts, as fundamental for cultivating post-anthropocentric attitudes and advancing the habit of timefulness.

Opis: This study investigated commuting behavior at four technical faculties (BCTF) in Maribor. The main aim was to provide suggestions and solutions for challenges related to active commuting to the BCTF, while promoting advancements in CO2 emission reduction. The research methodology was based on analyses of a questionnaire survey and calculations of CO2 emissions. The results indicate that implementing measures to promote walking, bicycling and the use of city and regional public transport, in conjunction with supportive housing and parking policies, has the potential to eliminate car trips within 0–1 km of the BCTF and reduce car trips from other zones in favor of active commuting by 30% to 50%. These proposed transport scenarios could lead to an annual reduction in CO2 emissions ranging from 17% to 29%. The greatest potential for CO2 savings is observed within 0–5 km of the BCTF, where a shift to walking and bicycling could reduce emissions by up to 44%. The results also highlighted a notable disparity, indicating that students with term-time accommodations emitted 3.5 times and 4.1 times less annual CO2 within 0–5 km of the BCTF compared to students and staff commuting daily from their permanent residences in the city.

Opis: This chapter examines teaching writing skills in English for Tourism by employing travel writing, which is not only a tool for teaching linguistic skills, but also encourages students to develop research interests and storytelling techniques. When travel writing was introduced to undergraduate and MA students during the English lessons the role of languages in Tourism, Tourism Discourse and Literary Tourism was also discussed with them. As part of the English assignment, students were asked to produce their own travel writing texts, which were discussed, reviewed by their teacher, re-written and – in the case of Master students – at the final stage, also published as an example of a teaching and learning experiment. Thus, this chapter presents travel writing as a successful method of developing travel writing skills inside the English for Specific Purposes classes.
