Počiatky dedinského turizmu na Slovensku (Prípadová štúdia o vinohradníkovi - podnikateľovi)
Beginnings of village tourism in Slovakia

Summary/Abstract: The case study of an enterprising wine-grower brings an analysis of conditions for a development of viticulture in Dolné Orešany, a village located in a marginal but specific part of the Little-Carpathian wine-growing region in Slovakia. It describes economic and social situation of local wine-growers during 1930s as an impulse for business activities of local people to buy, make and sell wine. A personal history of this entrepreneur serves for the author as a background against which she describes the economic and political development of an individual person, as well as the locality and the whole country, which influenced his commercial growth and decline. The article also explains how a change of the political system may harm and even destroy successful and creative people who several decades ago managed to realize projects which today belong to the agenda of the village tourism industry.
