Tourism in Austrian littoral:
Health resorts, swimming complex
and Karst caves (1819–1914)
The following book is a historical analysis of the development of mod-
ern tourism, which occurs and intensively develops after the industri-
al revolution and is related to economic, technological, social and cul-
tural changes that followed. The industrial revolution and industrialization
itself represents an important milestone in the development due to its signif-
icant influence on the many levels of human life and society. The beginning
of modern tourism in the late 18th century is thus not random, when the im-
pact of these activities on the economy of the country augmented (Leonardi
and Heiss, 2003, 10).
Austrian littoral
The territory of the former Austro-Hungarian Land of the Austrian littoral
was the central subject where during the 19thcentury different types of tourism
appeared in the tourist market. In historiography (both international and Slo-
venian) was the topic relatively marginal issued at least until the mid-20th cen-
tury, but to the historical development of tourism, its preliminary and mod-
ern forms, it has been devoted also other scientific disciplines (Walton, 2002,
109–110). The Slovenian territory has increased interest in the exploration of
the phenomenon and its dimensions in the economic, social and cultural level
in the last twenty years, but with the exception of the most recent publication
on the development of maritime tourism in Istria (Šuligoj, 2015) the broader
coastal territory has received the lack of attention. Above all, there are no stud-
ies that address different typologies of tourist services, compared between or
integrated into the whole at the same time.
Some places in the area of the Austrian littoral, like the rest of the Em-
pire and in Europe, began to develop in tourism based on natural resources
