Abstract: The aim of this paper is to compare five tourism destinations: Slovenia and its four neighbouring countries (Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia). The travel and tourism industry is growing throughout the world and is a vital component of many countries’ economies. However, each country’s government tourism strategies and organisations of its tourism industry are distinct. This paper presents some statistics for these destinations and analyses the role of tourism in the countries’ economy. It also presents the preliminary results of broader research in the area of innovativeness in tourism. Contrasts and similarities at the national level are highlighted.
