Priročnik za pisanje in urejanje besedil Fakultete za turizem Univerze v Mariboru : strokovna monografija

Ucni proces na fakulteti ne zahteva samo udeležbe na predavanjih in dejavnega sodelovanja na vajah, temvec tudi intenzivno individualno delo studenta. To se mnogokrat predstavi v obliki seminarske naloge oziroma pisnega dela. Najbolj pomembno samostojno delo studenta pa je zagotovo zakljucna – diplomska ali magistrska naloga. Da bi studentom Fakultete za turizem Univerze v Mariboru predstavili in olajsali pripravo pisnih del, smo na fakulteti pripravili prirocnik za pisanje in urejanje besedil. Strokovna monografija zajema poglavja, ki studenta vodijo skozi celoten proces raziskovanja in pisanja dela. Od zacetnega iskanja ideje, osnov znanstvenega pisanja in raziskovanja v turizmu, do posameznih korakov raziskovalnega procesa in raziskovalnih metod. V strokovno monografijo je vkljuceno tudi poglavje o osebnih odnosih, ki se posebej nagovarja odnos med studentom in mentorjem pri pisanju zakljucnih del. Prirocnik podaja tudi prakticne nasvete o jezikovnem in tehnicnem oblikovanju besedila ter navajanju literature in virov. Strokovna monografija tako združuje temeljne informacije, ki jih bodo pri svojem delu uporabljali studenti in predavatelji, saj bodo skupaj sledili enotnim smernicam pisanja besedil v turizmu na Fakulteti za turizem.

Handbook for writing and editing texts of the Faculty of tourism of the University of Maribor : professional monograph

The learning process at the faculty requires not only attending lectures and active participation in the tutorials, but also intensive individual work of a student, which is often presented in the form of a seminar paper. However, the most important individual work of a student is definitely a final paper - a diploma or a masters thesis. In order to present and facilitate the preparation of written works for the students of the Faculty of Tourism of the University of Maribor, we have prepared this handbook for writing and editing texts at the faculty. The professional monograph covers the chapters that lead the student through the whole process of research and writing their paper. From the initial search of the research idea and the basics of scientific writing and research in tourism, to the individual steps of the research process and research methods. The professional monograph also includes a chapter on personal relationships, which in particular addresses the relationship between a student and a mentor in the process of preparing the paper or thesis. The handbook also provides practical advice on language and text designing, as well as instructions for citing references. The professional monograph, thus, combines basic information that both students of tourism and their lecturers will use in their study and work processes, as they will follow the uniform guidelines for writing texts in tourism at the Faculty of Tourism.

The Importance of Stakeholder Involvement in Strategic Development of Destination Management: The Case of the Mirna Valley Destination

The aim of this paper is to explain further the importance of stakeholder involvement in strategic development of destination management with the purpose of getting a deeper understanding of what different stake holders perceive as more or less important when it comes to destination management. Key concepts of strategic and destination management are explained in the theoretical part. Based on this, we have posed ourselves the main research question:What are the desires of different stake holders in the development of the destination in the light of strategic management? Explanations and viewpoints of other authors were summarized, and attempts were made to derive new viewpoints based on our research questions. Results confirm the findings that the life of the local population should be included and engaged actively in the development, when developing the destination and identifying the potentials. Each group of stake holders plays a special role in the development of the destination. This paper offers an overview of the analysis challenges and trends in the development of a small tourist destination. The most reasonable and appropriate for small destinations is to undertake the management of ‘bottom-up’ and to consider a common brand, which will provide recognition of the place and its key tourism products.
