This master's thesis discusses tourist offer and organic farming in the Goriška statistical region. The purpose of the thesis is to examine the connection of tourist offer and organic farming on selected organic farms in the Goriška statistical region as well as offer suggestions for future development of farms. The established characteristics are, among other, the result of performing survey on 50 farms. The connection between tourism and organic farming is visible in various ways, namely tourists like to visit organic farms due to organic food offer, contact with animals, thematic tours, tastings, peace and nature. Many owners of organic farms with tourist activity see potential in increasing accommodation facilities. On the other hand, some organic farms, which have not dealt with tourism so far, see potential in development of tourism, but face certain problems in realisation, such as lacking language knowledge, finances, bureaucracy, and problems with water access.
