An ironic paradox The longitudinal view on impacts of the 1990s homeland war on tourism in Croatia

Croatia is a Mediterranean tourism destination with a tourism tradition of more than 160 years. The tourist flowsj to Croatia practically came to a halt in the 1990s because of the homeland war, but now, twenty years now after the war and a painful recovery phase, Croatia is one again attracting th tourist market. In this paper we put forward two key arguments: theoretically, the impacts of war on tourism need to be evaluated beyond current historical and national contexts ; and, empirically, that Croatia is now in a unique position to take a more positive outlook for its future as a natural have in an overdeveloped and over-urbanised Europe.
