Nautical Tourism Ports in the Function of Sustainable Development of Croatian Islands

Nautical tourism is an important factor in the development of the world maritime and economic system, and one of its fundamental characteristics is that it has a significant impact on the destinations to which it gravitates. The long maritime tradition and the relief characteristics of the Croatian coast are the basic conditions for the development of nautical tourism on the islands and in coastal destinations in Croatia. The nautical tourism ports represent a dynamic system that forms a unity in economic, spatial, structural and functional terms. Despite the numerous advantages offered by nautical tourism, it is necessary to look at it objectively and analyse its negative and positive sides. In this paper, the authors have analysed the economic, social and environmental aspects of nautical tourism and their impact on the development of Croatian islands. They have also determined whether the development of individual islands or their local self-government units should be based on nautical tourism.
