The contribution focused on the investigation of the potential in making use of the mining assets that in the past have been employed in extraction and processing mineral wealth of the Spis region. One of the possibilities is in employing them as part of mining tourism, a less traditional form of experience-based tourism. The region abounds in a great number of unique old-time mining works offering a high potential for preserving objects of underground mining, establishing open-air museums, educational paths as part of the Spis Geopark currently in stage of preparation. Support to mining tourism in the region featuring specific geographical and socio-demographical conditions may be turned into the main factor of its sustainable development. The authors are involved in defining the region?s potential for mining tourism while taking into account the wide variety of factors of development in the area, the status quo of local marketing management in tourism, historical context, etc. The final part is a solution suggesting how to make best use of the available products of tourism on offer with the aim to ensure systematic development of mining tourism in the area. All that by way of implementing the principles of marketing and management-based approach when setting up a local mining-destination.
