CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL HERITAGE AS THE BASIS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF PROTECTED AREAS

The problem area being dealt with in this paper is insufficient valorisation of cultural heritage and the increasingly growing role of the sustainable development policy in the creation of tourist products in protected areas for the purposes of meeting the needs of modern differentiated and sophisticated demand. The purpose of this paper is to show the rich natural and cultural heritage of the Brijuni archipelago, provide proposals as to how to best touristically valorise it, how to achieve a higher level of visitor satisfaction, point to the importance of cooperation and monitoring of changing visitor trends, thus contributing to the importance of the Brijuni National Park in Europe and the world. In the first part of the paper, NP Brijuni's cultural heritage is presented, as well as historical personalities' reviews, followed by reviews by modern visitors about tourism on the island. The second part of the paper analyses the legislative framework relative to protected areas and gives recommendations for appropriate sustainable management in the National Park.
