New means of transport
Doctors and medicine in this area have not been the only factor in touri-
sm development. These factors were also intertwined and co-dependent with
each other. Thus, one of the key consequences of the industrial revolution and
industrialization, the new steamy means of transport, also affect the develo-
pment of tourism. New transport means which represent one of the most im-
portant and recognizable factors in development of modern tourism in the
European historiography, had largely impact the tourism also in the territo-
ry zone of Austrian littoral. The very construction of transport infrastruc-
tures and neat and good transport accessibility, which, as economic histori-
ans note, was not primarily served for tourism, could positive influenced its
further development. Otherwise, for the topic of the cases of maritime resorts
and thermal spas new means of transport were not a directly contribution for
the distinct rise in the number of visitors, there are places which, for example,
where iron road was not built, remained isolated from major urban and in-
dustrial centres. Greater distance may have reduced tourist visits and the de-
velopment, what has happened in some spa (for example Dolenjska, see Jan-
ša, 1968).
In the coastal tourist areas the construction of new transport terrestrial
routs and the establishment of marine steamship did not perform as a direct
consequence of the development of tourism in other sense the tourism was
not the cause, but the already existing tourist resorts were already well aware
of the advantages that the faster, cheaper, safer and more accurate transpor-
tation had for their further development, and therefore tourist resorts had
strived to create the best possible transport links and easy access for tour-
ists. In the case of the discussed maritime resorts it has been able to observe
that the new transport connections initially established at sea and even be-
fore the start of tourist development, which means that these two phenom-
ena, in principle, were not related or interdependent. Land transport links
were mainly established later, when the sites were already recognizable on the
tourist market (with the exception of Opatija). New means of transport did
not encourage the creation of new tourist destinations in the area, although
they had a positive impact on their further development.

analysed in the case of the Postojna Cave. This cave has begun intensively de-
