1. Make Osor great again : accessible archaeology between island and cloudZrinka Mileusnić, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Osor, a small settlement, embodies the tension between exceptional archaeological significance and limited contemporary accessibility. Once a key maritime and ecclesiastical centre of the northern Adri- atic, it is today marked by demographic decline, infrastructural constraints, and strong tourism sea- sonality. This article conceptualises accessibility as a multidimensional heritage problem that extends beyond physical access to include interpretation, knowledge circulation, and public engagement. Fo- cusing on digital heritage tools, particularly the concept of a digital twin, it argues that digitally me- diated access can transform archaeological research into a distributed educational and cultural in- frastructure. Osor is presented as a pilot case for rethinking heritage promotion, interpretation and presentation in small and remote sites, aligning archaeological interpretation with sustainability, inno- vation, and learning.

2. Tourism and sustainable practices in highest-level sailing regattasArmand Faganel, Lara Poljšak, 2025, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: The sailing sports tourism is heterogenous, organizing sailing regattas can help in counteracting destination seasonality, and tourist awareness about the importance of the tourist product sustainability is increasing. Despite their natural setting, these competitions demand specific infrastructure, significant equipment, and experienced sailors to ensure successful execution. The pro- duction and use of sailing equipment involve substantial amounts of toxic substances. Considering that these events unfold in natural environments, it becomes crucial to prioritize the principles of sustainable development when organizing them. A study was conducted to address sailing competitions sus- tainability, analyzing sustainable practices already adopted by regatta organ- izers and competitive teams. It is necessary to enhance the sustainability of future sports events and raise the awareness of the importance of sustainable practices among spectators, competitors, and other participants.

3. Farm tourism in Slovenia - perspectives and development challengesSimon Kerma, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Farm tourism in Slovenia represents an important complement to the agricultural sector, enabling farmers to more easily market their own produce and products, provide partial or full employment for household members, and generate additional income. It also promotes more efficient use of available farm resources, contributes to the vitality of agricultural holdings and rural communities, helps preserve the cultural landscape and rural settlement, and adds value to agricultural products and services. All of this is crucial for the sustainable development of rural areas. Moreover, it fosters closer intersectoral cooperation and strengthens trust and relationships between farms and consumers. Farm tourism establishments also serve as custodians of Slovenia’s culinary heritage and culture. This paper presents the selected results of an extensive and rather complex study conducted from early 2021 to early 2023. Its purpose was to identify the main characteristics of tourist farms, analysing their offerings and determining their needs in relation to integration into broader tourism programmes and services. We conducted the survey among the holders of supplementary activities or their immediate family members; in many cases, several family members participated in the discussion, particularly when responding to open-ended questions and providing final comments. Direct, onsite surveying proved to be an invaluable source of information, enriched by personal interaction and on-location observation of the tourist farms. We also conducted a survey among visitors to tourist farms in Slovenia, which provided us with some important insights into expectations and motivations in relation to what tourist farms have to offer.

4. Phenomenography of Sustainable Tourism in Luxury HotelsAdityo Wicaksono, Firman Tri Ajie, Agustini Rahayu, Dini Andriani, Angga Wijaya Holman Fasa, Mahardhika Berliandaldo, Juprianto, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Contemporarily, tourism stakeholders (especially luxury hotels) are translating the sustainable tourism concept into various understandings. Hence, it is difficult to see the best ways to actualize the concept and achieve significant outcomes. Therefore, it is necessary to capture the current understanding empirically. To capture these understandings, this paper employs a phenomenographic approach, involving 17 luxury hoteliers in Indonesia. As a result, two contributions are presented in this paper. First, this study distinguishes three distinct understandings for the actualization of sustainable tourism, namely the (1) complying, (2) engaging, and (3) advocating stage. Second, a stage-gate model is proposed for the practical application of the gradual actualization of sustainable tourism in luxury hotels.

5. An Innovative Lens on Green Tourism : A Narrative Review of Cognitive Dissonance in Sustainable Tourism DevelopmentKevin Fuchs, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Despite growing concern over sustainability, value–behaviour inconsistencies remain widespread in tourism, highlighting a need for conceptual clarity. Therefore, an inductive thematic synthesis was utilized to analyse how cognitive dissonance is conceptualized, triggered, and resolved across various green tourism contexts. Three thematic main strands emerged: (1) value–behaviour inconsistency, (2) green identity and group influence, and (3) situational constraints and greenwashing. Tourists often maintain a green self-image despite contradictory behaviour, influenced by group norms, destination cues, and infrastructural limitations. The findings highlight that destination managers and marketers must reduce behavioural friction and ensure that sustainability claims are authentic and actionable. Theoretically, the revew contributes a conceptual map of cognitive dissonance in green tourism, highlighting how dissonance emerges and is managed.
