• Resumen

  • This work discusses the situation in the emerging field of social tourism for seniors in Slovenia. In this regard, we will analyse developmental needs and the potential of social tourism products in Slovenia as well as discuss guidelines for systemic measures for the future social tourism development in the national context. In doing so we will reflect on various topics, such as views of social tourism programmes development and the research of existing social tourism programmes in Slovenia, their beneficiaries, the extent and duration of programmes, organisation and financing of programmes. Finally, we will analyse the main benefits social tourism brings for older people in Slovenia, as perceived by the stakeholders involved in social tourism for seniors.
