The Slovak Republic (short form: Slovakia Listeni/sloʊˈvɑːkiə/ or /sləˈvækiə/; Slovak: About this sound Slovensko , long form About this sound Slovenská republika ) is a landlocked state in Central Europe. It has a population of over five million and an area of about 49,000 square kilometres (19,000 sq mi) as you can see in Slovakia map. The largest city is the capital, Bratislava, and the second largest is Košice. Slovakia is a member state of the European Union, NATO, United Nations, OECD and WTO among others. The official language is Slovak, a member of the Slavic language family. The Slavs arrived in the territory of present day Slovakia in the 5th and 6th centuries during the migration period. In the course of history, various parts of today Slovakia belonged to Samo Empire (the first known political unit of Slavs), Principality of Nitra (as independent polity, as part of Great Moravia and as part of Hungarian Kingdom), Great Moravia, Kingdom of Hungary, the Austro-Hungarian Empire or Habsburg Empire, and Czechoslovakia.

The Slovak economy is considered an advanced economy, with the country dubbed the "Tatra Tiger". Slovakia transformed from a centrally planned economy to a market-driven economy. Major privatizations are nearly complete, the banking sector is almost completely in private hands, and foreign investment has risen. Slovakia has recently been characterized by sustained high economic growth. In 2006, Slovakia achieved the highest growth of GDP (8.9%) among the members of the OECD as its shown in Slovakia map. The annual GDP growth in 2007 is estimated at 10% with a record level of 14% reached in the fourth quarter. According to Eurostat data, Slovak PPS GDP per capita stood at 72 percent of the EU average in 2008.

Transport in Slovakia is possible by rail, road, air or rivers. Slovakia is a developed Central European country with a well developed rail network (3,662 km) and a somewhat underdeveloped highway system (225.25 km). Main international airport is the M. R. Štefánik Airport in the capital, Bratislava. Most important waterway is the river Danube used both by passenger, cargo and freight ships. 172 km on the Danube used both by passenger, cargo and freight ships of nearly all sizes. Petroleum products 416 km; natural gas 6,769 km as its mentioned in Slovakia map.

Some Slovaks have made notable technical contributions. Jozef Murgaš contributed to development of wireless telegraphy; Ján Bahýľ constructed the first motor-driven helicopter (four years before Bréguet and Cornu).; Štefan Banič constructed the first actively used parachute; Aurel Stodola created a bionic arm in 1916 and pioneered steam and gas turbines as you can see in Slovakia on map. More recently, John Dopyera constructed a resonator guitar, an important contribution to the development of acoustic string instrument. American astronaut Eugene Cernan (Čerňan), the last man to visit the Moon, has Slovak heritage. Ivan Bella was the first Slovak citizen in space, having participated in a 9-day joint Russian-French-Slovak mission on the space station Mir in 1999. Nobel Prize winners Daniel Gajdusek and David Politzer have Slovak ancestors.

The majority of the 5.4 million inhabitants of Slovakia are Slovak (80.7%) as its shown in Slovakia on map. Hungarians are the largest ethnic minority (8.5%) and are concentrated in the southern and eastern regions of Slovakia. Other ethnic groups include Roma (2.0%), Czechs, Croats, Rusyns, Ukrainians, Germans, Poles, Serbs and Jews (about 2,300 remain of the estimated pre-WWII population of 120,000). While both international organizations (the United Nations and the World Bank) and the official Slovak statistics office offer population figures for ethnic groups, these figures seldom come close to agreement. Figures for the Roma population (for a variety of reasons) vary between 1% and 10% of the population.

The art of Slovakia can be traced back to the Middle Ages, when some of the greatest masterpieces of the country history were created. Significant figures from this period included the many Masters, among them the Master Paul of Levoča and Master MS. More contemporary art can be seen in the shadows of Koloman Sokol, Miloš Alexander Bazovský, Martin Benka, Mikuláš Galanda, Ľudovít Fulla, Július Koller, Mária Bartuszová and Stanislav Filko, in the 21st century Roman Ondák, Blažej Baláž as its mentioned in Slovakia on map. The most important Slovak composers have been Eugen Suchoň, Ján Cikker, and Alexander Moyzes, in the 21st century Vladimir Godar and Peter Machajdik. Slovakia is also known for its polyhistors, of whom include Pavol Jozef Šafárik, Matej Bel, Ján Kollár, and its political revolutionaries and reformists, such Milan Rastislav Štefánik and Alexander Dubček.

Bratislava is a large international motorway junction: The D1 motorway connects Bratislava to Trnava, Nitra, Trenčín, Žilina and beyond, while the D2 motorway, going in the north-south direction, connects it to Prague, Brno and Budapest in the north-south direction as you can see in the Detailed map of Slovakia. The D4 motorway (an outer bypass), which would ease the pressure on the city highway system, is mostly at the planning stage. The A6 motorway to Vienna connects Slovakia directly to the Austrian motorway system and was opened on 19 November 2007. Currently, five bridges stand over the Danube (ordered by the flow of the river): Lafranconi Bridge, Nový Most (The New Bridge), Starý most (The Old Bridge), Most Apollo and Prístavný most (The Harbor Bridge).

Unemployment, peaking at 19.2% at the end of 1999, decreased to 7.51% in October 2008 according to the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic as its shown in the Detailed map of Slovakia. In addition to economic growth, migration of workers to other EU countries also contributed to this reduction. According to Eurostat, which uses a calculation method different from that of the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic, the unemployment rate is still the second highest after Spain in the EU-15 group, at 9.9%. Inflation dropped from an average annual rate of 12.0% in 2000 to just 3.3% in 2002, the election year, but it rose again in 2003–2004 because of rising labor costs and excess taxes. It reached 3.7% in 2005. Slovakia adopted the Euro currency on 1 January 2009 as the 16th member of the Eurozone.

The official state language is Slovak, and Hungarian is widely spoken in the southern regions. Despite its modern European economy and society, Slovakia has a significant rural element. About 45% of Slovaks live in villages with fewer than 5,000 inhabitants, and 14% in villages with fewer than 1,000 as its mentioned in the Detailed map of Slovakia. The Slovak constitution guarantees freedom of religion. The majority of Slovak citizens (69%) practice Roman Catholicism; the second-largest group consider themselves atheists (13%). About 6.9% are Protestants, Greek catholic 4.1%, and 0.9% are Orthodox. Reformed Christian Church 2.0%, other 6.4% (2004 survey). There are 5,000 Muslims in Slovakia.

Northern Slovakia is one of Slovakia most physically spectacular areas and also most developed in terms of tourism. Thanks to its geography, the region boasts the most significant ski resorts in the country especialy in the High Tatras, Low Tatras and Lesser Fatra mountains as you can see in the Map of Northern Slovakia. Other mountains and national parks, especially the Western Tatras or Slovenský raj (Slovak Paradise) National Park, are something of a wonderland for wildlife and hikers alike. Among the most popular destinations in Slovenský raj is the Dobšinská Ice Cave, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Demänovská caves are another popular attraction in the region. Northern Slovakia is also home to the magnificent Orava and Stará Ľubovňa Castles.

The Spiš region, specifically Levoča and Spiš Castle, a UNESCO site, offers exceptionally preserved gothic monuments – a compelling attraction for tourists interested in that era. A characteristic feature of the region is folk architecture including Vlkolínec, an achingly picturesque and architecturally unique UNESCO site or Čičmany, the first folk architecture reserve in the world. There are several thermal water-parks in northern Slovakia including the biggest in Poprad, Bešeňová or Liptovský Mikuláš as well as spas in Rajecké Teplice, Turčianske Teplice and Lúčky as its shown in the Map of Northern Slovakia.

Northern Slovakia consists of two self-governing regions, acting as tourism regions, which are the subject of the study. Their offer in terms of tourism is diverse. The study focuses on the Žilina self-governing region and the Prešov self-governing region, which form a unified whole in the North of Slovakia. The aim of this paper is to use analytical methods to identify and describe the performance of tourism in selected regions that form the North of Slovakia. The analysis of tourism development in the Žilina self-governing region and the Prešov self-governing region on the basis of selected statistical indicators, points to the development situation in the time horizon of 15 years. Despite the adjective most mountainous part of Slovakia, the results of the study confirm that these regions are attractive, and, in the past, they were experiencing an increase of visitors as its mentioned in the Map of Northern Slovakia. This fact subsequently requires the expansion of services in tourism in the form of complex services and a higher degree of cooperation of entities in the region.

A major part of the territory of today Slovakia, known in this historical period as Upper Hungary (hun. Felső-Magyarország, slov. Horná zem or Horné Uhorsko) became part of the Ottoman borderlands. Some regions of the southern part of Upper Hungary were incorporated into the Ottoman administration and became the districts (tur. sanjak)1 of three Ottoman provinces: Budin Eyalet (hung. Buda, slov. Budín, 1541-1686), Eğri Eyalet (hung. Eger, slov. Jáger, 1596-1687), Uyvar Eyalet (hung. Érsekújvár, slov. Nové Zámky, 1663-1685, see the Map of Southern Slovakia). Some major cities and castles of what is today southern Slovakia came under the Ottoman rule and the region became a buffer zone between the Ottoman Empire and the Hungarian Kingdom and later the Habsburg Empire, which, after the battle of Mohács (1526), absorbed the Hungarian Kingdom into its territory.

The concentration of the Hungarian minority in the southern Slovakia border regions with Hungary is examined within the context of the uneven economic impacts of the ‘transition to capitalism’. It is argued that, while the economic decline seen in many of these ‘Hungarian’ regions has impacted negatively on the local populations, the roots of these changes lie within the ways in which such regions were integrated into the state socialist regional division of labor. In particular, the role of peripheral industrialization in such regions prior to 1989, in attempting to reduce economic differences among various ethnic groups, resulted in the establishment of branch plant economies which have had difficulty in surviving since 1989 as its mentioned in the Map of Southern Slovakia. It is therefore the interweaving of the economics of regional decline and the politics of ethnicity that help us to understand the complex place of the Hungarian minority in Slovakia.

The centre of the regions of lower Pohronie and western Poiplie is the district town Levice, situated in the immediate vicinity of the old Castle of Levice, the dominant of the town as its shown in the Map of Southern Slovakia. Levice (population 36,500) is now a modern town focusing above all on food processing industry. The town has its lively cultural and social life all year long. The “Levice Castle Days” in June and the traditional Levice Fair in October are the most visited events in Levice. The centre of the eastern part of Poiplie and historical region of Novohrad is the district town Lučenec which was founded on the crossroads of old trade routes it still preserved the active commerce. The symbol of the flourishing business and commerce in Lučenec (population 28,350) is Zlatá ulička or the Golden Lane, an exclusive place with attractive little shops.
