Sažetak
The main objective of this paper is to study cultural tourism in Osijek (Croatia) and policies and programmes aimed at national and international promotion, as well as at the development and improvement of the quality of cultural tourism offer. The intention is to analyse and investigate the contribution of cultural heritage to the attractiveness of a tourist destination, as one of the prerequisites for tourists’ choice. Based on the study, the paper proposes guidelines that could be useful in image development and improvement of the potential for cultural tourism offering in Osijek. There is still no clear definition of cultural tourism, as one of the selective forms of tourism. Tourism refers to the movement of people outside of their domicile environments in pursuit of cultural experiences, getting to know other peoples’ customs and cultures, and expanding their own horizons. Cultural tourism consumers are referred to as cultural tourists. Their motivation stems from desire to participate in cultural activities. Like tourism in general, cultural tourism is not developing at the same pace in all countries. To change this, we need a good development strategy and the best use of all the heritage potentials in a destination. The in-depth study provides insights about the development of cultural tourism, the trends and the changes it brings, and cultural events and revitalisation of heritage spaces without which there would be no cultural tourism in Osijek. Study methodology is based on the use of the data analysis and synthesis method, inductive and deductive method, and abstraction and description method.
