Longitudinal assessment of the carrying capacity of a typical tourist island: Twenty years on

This article highlights the growth of tourism on a typical island over a twenty-five year period ; from when the first carrying capacity was conducted in the late 1980’s to today. The island in this study is the island of Vis in the Adriatic Sea, belonging to Croatia’s Middle Adriatic archipelago. This specific study in its tenth-year, is part of an on-going broader investigation of the tourism impacts on all of the islands in the Croatia’s Middle Adriatic archipelago such as Brač, Šolta, Korčula, Hvar and Lastovo. This investigation and examination of the key challenges and changes, both negative and positive, it is hoped, will bring to light the very limits of what an acceptable level of tourism volume should be without putting at risk the island’s natural and cultural heritage and infrastructure.
