Sažetak
The rural area of Croatia is a biodiverse area with great potential for the development of various forms of tourism. Many forms of tourism have a great and diverse impact on society in the modern world as the human need for leisure and recreation grows with the development of the economy. Croatia is suitable for development of hunting tourism because it is extremely rich in agricultural areas, forests (43.5% of the total land area), rich stock of wild animals and it has geographic biodiversity. Hunters were mostly people of higher purchasing power, who wanted to enjoy the intact nature, watch and hunt animals, enjoy the gastronomic specialties prepared of the same game, and experience an until then undiscovered special tourist offer which differed from the usual ones. The aim of this paper was to identify the habits and preferences of hunters in eastern Croatia and to suggest better conditions and guidelines for the development of hunting tourism. Although respondents are satisfied with the supply of catches (M = 4.03) in eastern Croatia, the disadvantages are reflected in the organization of the hunt, high prices, insufficient promotional activities and inappropriate legislation. This paper gives suggestion and opportunities for hunting tourism development in order to achieve multifunctional rural development.
