The Influence of Island Infrastructure on Security, Sustainability and Development of Nautical Tourism

Nautical tourism is one of the most important factors in the overall tourism contribution to the Croatian economy. The Republic of Croatia has 1244 islands, islets, cliffs and ridges, of which 78 islands, 524 islets, and 642 reefs and cliffs. Within the archipelago sea of the Republic of Croatia, there is a considerable amount of maritime traffic which annual reports with an evident increase in the number of arrivals, sailings, and departures confirm. Accordingly, increasing traffic on the Adriatic Sea will lead to an increase in the number of accidents, search and rescue operations, and potentially more deaths and injuries. However, it is not only maritime navigation that can affect the safety of nautical tourism but also the infrastructure of the island that we will explore in this article in terms of accommodation capacity versus the number of arrivals, medical equipment and response reaction in case of a number of simultaneous actions, administrative capacity and efficiency, service activities, in order to enhance safety and security in Croatian nautical tourism, and measures that need to be taken to further develop it.
