Sažetak
Connection between the tourist and traffic activities reflects the total economic picture of the country with a tendency of growth in the future. From the traffic point of view the infrastructure of all traffic branches (with a special priority regarding the road traffic) is surely the most important, followed by the development of the shipping and ferry-boat connections as along the Adriatic coast, so between and towards the islands. The building of the traffic infrastructure in the touristic destination itself and, even more so, the traffic ways till the tourist destination, together with a mutual connection between the tourist destinations, are of the utmost importance for the development of tourism. More than 70% of the tourist population from abroad arrive to our country by car and even 70% of vessels (up to 7 m) arriving to the Adriatic for the nautical tourism, arrive by road as well. They all expect a European level of the traffic infrastructure ; a quick, safe and quality transport from the place of their residence till their tourist destination. Therefore, the development of these destinations, specially those of the Middle and Southern Adriatic, depend on the development level, transport characteristics, thoroughfare ability and equipment of our traffic ways. Taking the wider economy interests of the Republic of Croatia into consideration one shouldn't neglect the European Union with its growing interest for Croatia, its economy and tourism.
