Spatial planning of tourism in protected nature areas in Slovenia and the tourism carrying capacity of Škocjan Caves Regional Park

Sustainable tourism in protected nature areas, such as Slovenia's Škocjan Caves Regional Park, hinges on integrated spatial planning and collaboration between management bodies and local communities. Research reveals that effective regulation requires regional spatial plans, particularly for areas spanning multiple municipalities. This approach ensures balanced development while preserving ecological integrity, as demonstrated by analyzing adopted spatial acts in Slovenian protected areas.
