The division between rest and work is becoming increasingly blurred. The location and time of work is becoming more and more flexible, as is the space and time of rest. A new type of “tourist” is emerging, who neither rests on vacation nor is fully at work. This brings the lifestyle of the tourist closer to that of the locals, thus blurring the line between them. The development potential is moving from the coastal zone to the hinterland. The existing tourist infrastructure in Portoroz, built in the 1960s and 1970s, cannot respond to these changes. In the master thesis, therefore, I propose a new tourist infrastructure on the example of a hotel complex, the central space of which becomes an open public square, which I call the Square of Permanent Vacation.
