Sažetak
The cities as an important tourist destinations came of age during 1980s. The local governments came to recognize that tourism could have a role in urban economic development. The invisibility of tourism in cities partly arises from the fact that many facilities are used both by residents and visitors. Improving these facilities therefore provides benefits for local residents as well as assisting the promotion of tourism. City tourism development plan should be prepared as an integral part of global economic and social development plan of the city, with the main aim to integrate the tourism in existing urban economic development, and at the same time to prevent conflict situations. Tourism development in the city needs a network and cooperative relationships between local government, tourist organization, tourist agencies and different organizations/institutions in the city ; public-private partnership is a must. In the paper are analyzed the main attributes, principles and goals of the tourism in the cities. The stress is on the significant change of the complete image of the cities (not jus tourism image) and the attitude of the local inhabitant toward the development of tourism as a (for some cities) new economic activity.
