Tourism as an opportunity for rehabilitation of original family crafts (traditional crafts) in croatia

It is often pointed out that Croatia is a country rich in cultural and historical heritage, which is true, as is the fact that Croatian cultural heritage abounds in traditional crafts, but despite that fact, currently only 18 such crafts are registered in Croatia. From this fact it can be concluded that there is no adequate care or approach in the restoration, preservation and promotion of traditional crafts. On the other hand, tourism can be an excellent platform for the rehabilitation of original family crafts, ie traditional crafts, but care should be taken that one-time profit is not the only motivation and that the renewal of traditional crafts is approached in a systematic and organized manner, in accordance with guidelines for the concept of sustainable development. Namely, if the renewal of these activities is approached spontaneously and superficially, more harm than good is done, while, on the other hand, the renewal of traditional crafts can generate profit on several levels and can be a significant contribution not only to tourism but also to economy and culture. social communities and countries in general.
