The field hospitals and front war cemeteries in the territory of the North-East Slovakia, originating as a result of the Great War battles, are a historical phenomenon that has no equivalent in our territory. They are unique mainly in the method of their foundation as well as in high concentration in a relatively small territory. Unlike it was incorrectly presented so far in the literature, they did not originate randomly but were the result of a precisely thought-out concept, prepared by the IX. War Graves Department (Kriegsgräber-abteilung), operating at the Austro-Hungarian Ministry of War (Kriegsministerium) seated in Vienna. The study submitted is aimed at zooming in on the basic rules of this process (focusing on the territory of North-Eastern Slovakia) based on the analysis of archival sources, period and contemporary literature and field survey.

The article shows the vastly diversified character of collective memory of the Great War in European countries. This diversity pertains also to Germany and Poland, Poland being in this respect a typical representative of the countries of Central and South-Eastern Europe. The tensions that stem from those differences are all the more noteworthy, as since the 1990s there has been a visible acceleration of changes directed toward shaping the Great War as a European locus of memory. This tendency is manifested in the activity of the leading European museums which organize exhibitions arranged according to a different outlook than before.

This paper attempts to promote awareness of the Great War and its impact on the tourism and hospitality industry in Gorizia and its surroundings. With review and analysis of archival materials and secondary sources, and finally formulation of the results we fill an identified void in the past research. We find out that Gorizia and its surrounding area was an attractive tourist destination of the Austrian Littoral, with exceptional natural and socio-cultural predisposition, good transport links, tourism infrastructure and superstructure. However, the way of doing business and structure of guests changed during the Great War (Isonzo front), because of constant bombardment, damaged buildings and other infrastructure; economic chaos and similar circumstances had great implications. In addition, we also find out that the recovery immediately after the war and development of the tourism and hospitality industry in the new Italian region was also very difficult and gradual.
