Sažetak
Tourism as a complex and interdisciplinary phenomenonhas alweys reflected the concrete reality. Its historical evolution should therefore be studied in the context of a given social and cultural environment. The author first of all deals with basic problems of historical research in tourism: its notion, characteristical and significance. He highlights some important issues dealt with in relevant word literature and proposes a classification of sources for a historical approach of tourism. A particular emphasis is placed on Croatia, namely its coastal part, tracing back the rich historical features in tourism, Here, a number of detailes are given describing the beginnings of catering activities on the littoral which were closely connected with the influx of first visitors, some 150 years ago. At that time, initial organizations were founded and later-on also some destinations proclaimed as resorts by official authorities. A special infrastructure began to develop quite early as well. A number of coastal resorts, like Dubrovnik, Hvar, Zadar, Rab, Lošinj, Crikvenica, Opatija et.c. have already celebrated their jubilees in tourism prooving a long and continuing traditional in the national and international markets.
