Sažetak
Because of their potential and capabilities, non- profit organisations are increasingly referred to in the literature as a relevant stakeholder in tourism development that is able to ensure lasting benefits for local communities and sustainable tourism initiatives. The purpose of this paper is to study the extent to which associations are recognised as a stakeholder in the tourism development of Croatia and the areas of tourism development in which they have been assigned active roles. To that end, the paper analyses strategic tourismdevelopment documents at the national level, and the strategic tourism-development documents of the most developed continental counties in Croatia with regard to tourism traffic in the past five years. Research results indicate that some documents recognise and identify associations as a stakeholder in tourism development but mostly fail to assign any active roles to associations in the execution of individual activities. In other words, despite the potential that associations possess, they are not involved to any sufficient extent in devising tourism development strategies in general or development strategies for specific forms of tourism in particular.
