(Source: TASR)The general director of Slovakia Travel, Ivana Vala Magátová, pointed out that skiing has a great tradition in Slovakia, but according to her, attention to ski resorts is decreasing. There are 80 in Slovakia, yet the country ranks 10th in Europe regarding the number of mountain transport facilities.
"Eighteen percent of our population ski, which is a very high number. However, it must be said that 80 percent of resort visitors are Slovaks. It is also our task here to devote ourselves more intensively to the promotion of winter resorts and skiing. However, it is necessary to develop the resorts so that they can be used even in the summer months," pointed out Vala Magátová.
The resort in the valley is visited annually by more than half a million visitors, 40 percent of whom are Poles.
