摘要
The main objective of this contribution is to determine impacts of winter tourism on a certain district, specifically Zarnovica district situated in Slovakia. The focus is set on evaluating the economic impact of winter tourism on business subjects and population. To meet the objective, mostly qualitative methods were used. To evaluate the impact, several sources were used to gain the data needed to construct this study. Owners and management of ski resorts completed questionnaires about their operations, including number of employees, number of visitors, revenues and other information. Another survey was administrated to customers of ski resorts. Data gained from surveys were used to compute the direct and indirect impact of ski resorts on the region. The following assumptions were confirmed: Ski resorts produce significant economic contribution to the region as the revenue generated from customers and the income of businesses related to ski resorts are handed back to the residents of the region in the form of wages and different social advantages.
