Sažetak
The management of sea passenger ports has been determined by sequences of circumstances closely connected with the complex function of any port ; together with its reflection on traffic and economic system. Each of those principles has certain impact on the development, management and evaluation of a port in different stages of growth. However, all the results that are gained present evaluations and ratings of each port individually and those results and ratings are crucial in the traveller’ s decision of which sea passenger port they should take. All those principles that are used for evaluation of a port are used as well for establishing the travel routes, in fact, its departure and arrival point. The importance of those departure and arrival points is dissimilar for each port and it is also possible that in different stages of development those points can increase or reduce its importance. Very often it is likely that those principles have positive impact and in some other stage they can have negative reflection on the port. Numerous principles for the development and management of sea passenger ports in the Republic of Croatia are not applied in all the stages of the port existence. The problem of sea passenger ports is frequently considered as the forgotten issue which is one of the vital parts of the whole national economic with very high multiple effects and possible results. The purpose of this work is the SWOT analyses which provides a clear picture that successful managing of the ports comes through balanced efforts and achievements of the town, region and the country as a whole. The purpose of this paper is to analyze all the possibilities and steps that have to be taken in order to determine the advantages and the disadvantages of not just the port but rather of the town where the port is located as well. It has to be investigated what is having impact on the town, its attractions and the possibility for successful running of the port. Apart from the well-known elements which are location, natural characteristics of a port, organization of work, etc. The measures of the port politics are applied to further analyses and evaluations of completely new principles such as: resources, tourist offers, structure, public sectors and town future planning, communication, image and trends. The results of the survey are applied so that management of the sea passenger ports should be run in a way to create a system which would continue to develop all the principles that are tightly connected to the port’ s functioning and all that in order to form a port which would be major a factor to transform not just the town where the port is located but the whole region and more.
