Slovakia not using its tourism potential

The share of tourism in Slovakia's GDP is the fourth lowest in the EU, writes an analysis conducted by UniCredit Bank. The EU average stands at 10%, however tourism in Slovakia makes up only 6% of the country's GDP. Malta and Iceland ranked at the top with more than a quarter of their GDP being made up by tourism. The analysis also indicates that Slovakia could do better as it has the 22^nd strongest potential in the EU. In order to improve its position, Slovakia would have to increase its competitiveness by improving legislative and economic environment, tourism policy and infrastructure.
