Głównym celem artykułu jest identyfikacja podstawowych ciężarów utrudniających prowadzenie biznesu postrzeganych przez Słowackie firmy rodzinne jak również ocena ich perspektyw rozwoju biznesu rodzinnego na Słowacji. Artykuł analizuje podstawowe dane uzyskane w badaniu opinii przeprowadzonym za pomocą kwestionariuszy w 2013 roku. Postrzeganie środowiska biznesu oceniane jest według określonych wskaźników zewnętrznego środowiska biznesu (warunki prowadzenia działalności), które uzyskano na podstawie wyników pilotażowego badania przeprowadzonego w 2009 roku oraz badań z lat 2010/2011. Wyniki te określają najżywiej dyskutowane tematy oraz ciężary utrudniające prowadzenie biznesu w słowackiej turystyce i hotelarstwie. (abstrakt oryginalny)
