General Systems Theory and Nautical Tourism

The need to establish effective competitiveness and attractiveness of destinations using effective and sustainable strategies based on market conditions, as well as to balance the interests of stakeholders, was highlighted as a major influence on the importance and potential of the tourism industry for the economic development of society at local and national level. It is very important for the design and operation of systems within maritime processes to know how the process behaves at desired changes in characteristic sizes and how successfully it can eliminate the effects of unwanted changes in those sizes. A mathematical description serves as the basis for demonstrating process behaviour. Nautical tourism is a dynamic form of selective tourism that seeks to attract tourists with its diversity of offerings. Nowadays, nautical tourism is losing its status as a mass tourism and includes a target group of tourists who are rich, successful and highly educated people with an aspiration for adventure and a different form of entertainment. The aim of this paper is to propose important segments for developing systems thinking in order to make destination management sustainable, as well as to present opportunities which pursue strategic policies and conditions for the formation of different types of governance structures. The process involves the development of a systemic approach to thinking that represents a holistic understanding of the interconnectedness and relationships between the various components that influence the sustainable development of tourism.
