Sažetak
Preservation of natural resources represents one of the key development factors of a competitive tourist offer. Modern tourist devotes greater importance to tourist destinations which base their development on sustainability factors. Renewable energy sources in the Republic of Croatia have still not been represented, in spite of their great potential. The Republic of Croatia, as an accessing country to the European Union, is facing a great task - to increase the share of using renewable energy sources until 2020. As an accessing country, the Republic of Croatia has to adapt to the European Commission's laws and regulations, and transfer and implement them in its legislation, among other, in the field of sustainable development, increase in the use of renewable energy sources, preservation of environment, and tourism development. Using renewable energy sources in tourism will enable achieving competitive advantages and positioning the Republic of Croatia as an ecological tourist destination on the European and international market.
