Sažetak
Circular economy is a developmental concept promoted by the European Union and applied in practice by its member countries. When looking at the process of circular economy, it is most commonly observed from the point of view of industry and its related processes. Tourism is less frequently observed, but in recent years the application of circular economy has become significantly more present in tourism, both in the hotel industry and in all types of tourism overall. This paper focuses on the issue of sustainable cultural tourism with an emphasis on supporting the protection and/or reuse of heritage, where the entire cycle is based on the principles of circular economy. Sustainable cultural tourism should be founded on the principles of circular economy wherever applicable (heritage tourism, gastronomy, urban tourism etc.). In this paper we take a look at cities in Croatia that apply circular economy to sustainable cultural tourism. The scientific contribution of this paper lies in the proposed guidelines for taking further action with the aim of creating a “new” cultural tourism by adopting the principles of circular economy.
