The Importance of Space for Tourism in Croatia

Tourism, as both a social and economic phenomenon, significantly impacts the development of destinations like Croatia. This study reveals that spatial factors are crucial for tourism growth while emphasizing the need for long-term conservation to balance development. Visitor satisfaction surveys from Trogir’s 'Trogir cultural summer' and Dubrovnik’s 'Dubrovnik summer games' highlight high appreciation for aesthetic, ecological, and cultural values, though environmental concerns—such as airport proximity in Trogir and overcrowding in Dubrovnik—lower ratings. The research demonstrates that tourism thrives on spatial and environmental elements but also underscores the challenges of preserving historical integrity amid rising visitor numbers.
