Sažetak
The paper studies the perspectives of wellness tourism development in the Republic of Croatia (hereafter: Croatia). Namely, at present day, tourist movements are becoming more and more popular, and a greater number of tourists are choosing destinations that will best meet their needs. Tourists are looking for more, they do not just want “sun, sea and sandy beach” anymore, they are interested in an active holiday. Specific forms of tourism such as wellness and health tourism, which are slowly developing in Croatia, are becoming more and more popular. Wellness and health tourism refer to travel to a foreign country for health services. Such trips mostly take place because people seek better quality of health services and the most important thing – cheaper prices. When people need any kind of treatment or other health service, they travel to foreign countries for treatment due to the unavailability of that service or the inadequacy of accessible resources in their own country. As for Croatia, the wellness and health tourism don't go that far away in history, most hotels offer wellness and more and more polyclinics that attract tourists are opening, such as dental polyclinics and cosmetic surgery clinics, which are the most sought-after treatments that foreigners seek in Croatia. However, there is a difference between wellness and health tourism, although most of the time they go hand in hand.
