1. Transformation of the tourist infrastructure and tourist arrivals in Maribor in the last two decadesUroš Horvat, 2012, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The paper presents the development of tourism in Maribor, with a focus on major changes in the tourist offer (especially tourist infrastructure and accommodation facilities) and tourist visit since 1991. Changes in tourist flows to South-East Europe, the great economic crises and the collapse of the major industrial companies in Maribor was followed by a large decrease in tourist visit and the need for transformation of the tourist offer in the city. In Maribor was built a range of new hotels and other accommodation facilities, which resulted in the fact that since 2000 increased diversity and quality of the tourist offer and, consequently, has gradually started to increase also the tourist visit. However, Maribor still shows all the characteristics of a tourist destination with the dominant urban tourism, which is characterized by short average length of stay of tourists and the high share of overnight stays in hotels.

2. Health resorts and their importance for the development of less developed areas in SloveniaUroš Horvat, 2010, pregledni znanstveni članek Opis: In the paper is presenting the importance of health resorts for the development of less development areas in Slovenia. Health resorts are one of the oldest kinds of tourist resorts and started to develop in Slovenia already in 18th and in the beginning of 19t h centuries. The main reasons for the first tourists’ visits were connected with bathing in thermal waters, drinking of healing water, socializing of the higher social classes and entertainment. Later, the health resorts became centres of highly qualified medical rehabilitation based on the basis of using of natural remedies and modern medical treatments. The so called classical health resorts prevailed in Slovenia until the mid-1980s. The beginning of the 1990s marked an important turnabout in the development of health resorts in Slovenia. With the construction of modern swimming pools, some health resorts have started to use thermal water for fun and “experience”. The so called “thermal rivieras” or “thermal parks” have emerged with covered or open pools, which are open throughout the year. The reorientation to mass tourism based on recreation, healthy lifestyle, wellness etc., as well as spending of holidays in apartment accommodation have significantly increased the tourist visits in the so called recreation health resorts. These are usually located in less developed areas of the country, which means their importance is even greater for the employment of the inhabitants and the spatial and functional development of rural areas. In the case study author is orientated especially on the development of the health resorts in the Posotelje region (in NE Slovenia).

3. The influence of tourism on the development of the Rogaška Slatina health resortUroš Horvat, 2001, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The author uses the example of a health resort with a long history to discuss the effects of tourism on the development and structure of a settlement that developed in the mid 19th century into one of the most important tourist areasin Slovenia and went on to strengthen its role in a relatively poorly developed region through the development of industry and other urban activities. The first part of the article discusses the various phases of the health resort's development and the features of the tourist visits in Rogaška Slatina. The emphasis is on its dependance on tourist supply and demand as well as on changing economic, social, and political circumstances. The second part deals with the demographic, economic, and spatial development of the settlement. In as far as Rogaška Slatina is a multi-functional tourist area, the emphasis is on the influence of health and tourism-related activities as well as on industry, on the development and structure of employment, on the dynamics of population growth, and on the economic structure of the populationand households. Individual functional zones in Rogaška Slatina are defined, particularly those in which tourism and recreation represent the dominant type of land-use.
