Croatia, in comparison with other European countries, has a high level of conservation of nature and particularly highlights
preservation of ecosystems and habitats, the country is to a large biological and landscape diversity. Reduction
and the degree of diversity undermines the ecological balance, so you can say that the global threat
plant and animal species, and the man.
The greater our responsibility for what we leave to future generations and, therefore, sustainable development in economic,
environmental and sociokulturnom sense element becomes thoughtful action in most countries.
Sustainable, or considerate development within the predicted life prihvatnog capacity of the environment, therefore, the extent to which
ecological system can accept various human activities and exploitation of resources without permanent damage to the system and
quality of life of people.
Reducing pressure on the environment can be achieved by the synergy of social, political and market activity, and we
, in this case, an important joint involvement in the preservation and proper use of resources in tourism. Just
Therefore, sustainable tourism is ecotourism with a link that creates a new category of responsible travelers. Ecotourism
means responsible tourism for their orientation in a coordinated relationship between man and nature, but also because the
part of the profits from it is used for environmental protection.
In the Croatian tourism in recent years made great progress, but still need to invest in the development,
and especially in improving the quality of products and services, and promotion of well-preserved environment and recognition
Croatian as a tourist destination that, along with the existing protection measures, particularly the coastal belt, is developing high-quality
original tourist facilities.
Our country is rich in diverse natural and cultural values, but also interesting and oenological
and selection of food by region. Tourists recognize the difference between Dalmatia, Slavonia, Zagorje and
another of our kitchen. Native delicacies of our cuisine are known and in demand, especially in the catering
offer rural tourism. Therefore, in recent years in Croatia, except for rest and relaxation, more coming
for fun, enjoying the food and drink, and all those interested in more cultural sites and preserved natural environment.
Access to the principles of sustainable tourism development accords with the generally accepted principles from which it derives
a series of international conventions, such as the protection of biological diversity which is the Republic of Croatia joined the
in early 1997. year. Croatian Parliament therefore adopted a Declaration on the Protection of the environment in which,
among other things, states: "The Republic of Croatia in the world recognized as a country extremely rich and varied
natural values, such as the coast and islands, fertile soil, water and waterways, indigenous forests and numerous
unique and world-renowned beauty, decides to sustainable economic development based on opstojnoj
agriculture and forestry, marine and tourism industry and the economy based on environmentally admissible
technologies.
Consequently, alternative forms of tourism - such as rural tourism, ecotourism or nature of the Middle
- Experienced a boom. According to recent research, growing three times faster than classical
mass tourism and it is expected that their share of the tourism market in Europe in the next 20
years will be greater than 20 percent.
One response to new challenges and one of the ways to ostarivanje values on mijenjajućim
market preference is to invest in small-scale forms of tourism that are based on a single
natural and cultural heritage and promote them.
Croatia has an ideal position to best exploit these new opportunities. Many
future tourists, it is relatively "new" destinations, has an extremely varied landscape and rich
biodiversity, as well as many active cultural traditions. From the dense green flood plains
in Slavonia to the peaks of Velebit, the idyllic rural landscape of Istria to the dramatic
Dalmatian coast and islands all over the fragrant calm Adriatic - Croatia offers something for
everyone's taste.
Places such as Plitvice Lakes National Park have been benefited from the growing interest in
ecotourism and offer unique, but safe and accessible nature experience for hundreds of thousands of tourists
each year. It is encouraged and many small family farms to the development of local tourist
Product (rental accommodation, restaurants ...) that are based on natural resources.
But I do not have all the initiatives in ecotourism will be a large scale. Moreover, most of the activity is
a much smaller scale and localized, but even this segment is flourishing across Europe
due to the increased interest in ecotourism.
