Medicine
For beginners and promoters of development in all three sites are known doc-
tors which identified the potential positive effects of treatment with sea wa-
ter, air, sand, sun, with mud and brine. In this, all three sites had followed Eu-
ropean trends, where the medical profession acted performed as an important
factor in development of tourism especially in its initial stages, although this
was a profession also in the function of administrative and executive bodies
of spa – spa Commission – present also later. Its influence was manifested on
various occasions, as can be observed in the case of Portorož, where in 1904
they wanted confer the lease the former villa Righetti to an unknown compa-
ny, where they planned arrangements of sanatorium for scrofuloza. Against
this, strongly opposed the spa Commission and the Management Board Por-
torose, because, in their opinion, its opening would be detrimental for the
successful tourism development of Portoroz. Small beach with a large con-
centration of bathers would then expose healthy guests in the sea which con-
sequently may come into contact with sick guests and got infected. Coop-
eration between the public sphere, represented by the doctors and between
private entities as well as other tourist operators in a given resort, was cru-
cial to its further development, which was also evident in the mentioned case.
Medicine did not affect the development of thermal and maritime tour-
ism, and encourage him only. In wider Alpe region it has also acted as an
important factor in the development of health-resort tourism. Firstly, the
mountain air stations arose in Switzerland (early 19th century). In the area of
Primorje medicine was not as present, because here in the Alps has devel-
oped particular a form of tourism, which was attached to the mountaineer-
ing and conquering the mountain peaks. Elsewhere on the Slovenian territo-
ry health motives have played an important role in the start of tourism in the
mountains, as it happened in the case of Bled, where it can be found consist-
ency with European trends. Tourism in mountain world and mountaineering
though were not a detailed form of the subject.
In the second form of tourism, cave tourism, medicine has not played a
significant role factor or a facilitator of development, as the visit in this case
was predominantly bound to a particular natural attraction and not on the
