Zavedamo se pomena usklajevanja turističnih dejavnosti z ohranjanjem naravnega okolja ter kakovostjo življenja lokalnega prebivalstva. V sklopu Zelene sheme slovenskega turizma redno izvajamo analizo stanja na terenu, ki vključuje mnenja različnih deležnikov in oceno vplivov turizma na okolje, gospodarstvo in družbo.
Raziskave so obsegale ankete med lokalnim prebivalstvom o zadovoljstvu s turizmom, ankete med turisti o njihovih izkušnjah in pričakovanjih ter ankete med turističnim gospodarstvom o poslovnem okolju in izzivih. Poleg tega smo analizirali stanje in vplive turizma na naravno in kulturno dediščino ter ocenili ranljivost turizma zaradi podnebnih sprememb.
Turizem ima lahko tako pozitivne kot negativne vplive na destinacijo. S pravilnim upravljanjem lahko prispeva k lokalnemu razvoju in ohranjanju naravne in kulturne dediščine, vendar prekomerni turistični pritisk prinaša tveganja, kot so obremenitev infrastrukture, spremembe v življenjskem slogu prebivalcev in vplivi na občutljive ekosisteme.
Analiza vplivov turizma v občini Postojna nam omogoča, da na podlagi zbranih podatkov oblikujemo trajnostne ukrepe za usmerjanje turističnega razvoja, ki bo v korist tako lokalnim prebivalcem kot obiskovalcem. Z izvedenimi raziskavami pridobljene ugotovitve bodo podlaga za nadaljnje korake pri trajnostnem razvoju turizma v občini Postojna.
We are aware of the importance of harmonizing tourism activities with the preservation of the natural environment and the quality of life of the local population. As part of the Green Scheme of Slovenian Tourism, we regularly conduct field situation analyses, which include the opinions of various stakeholders and an assessment of the impacts of tourism on the environment, economy and society.
The research included surveys among the local population on satisfaction with tourism, surveys among tourists on their experiences and expectations, and surveys among the tourism industry on the business environment and challenges. In addition, we analyzed the state and impacts of tourism on natural and cultural heritage and assessed the vulnerability of tourism to climate change.
Tourism can have both positive and negative impacts on a destination. With proper management, it can contribute to local development and the preservation of natural and cultural heritage, but excessive tourist pressure brings risks, such as strain on infrastructure, changes in the lifestyle of residents and impacts on sensitive ecosystems.
The analysis of the impacts of tourism in the municipality of Postojna allows us to use the collected data to design sustainable measures to guide tourism development, which will benefit both local residents and visitors. The findings obtained through the conducted research will form the basis for further steps in the sustainable development of tourism in the municipality of Postojna.
