Sažetak
The blue economy is the basis for the future of human society and encompasses several sectors. One of them is nautical tourism, which is experiencing continuous growth and involves numerous resources and stakeholders. The blue economy concept has the potential to fulfil sustainable development goals and has an impact on improving the quality of life of the resident population. Previous research providing a comprehensive overview of the blue economy is scarce. To provide a more in-depth analysis of blue economy implementation, the authors conducted a more comprehensive literature review. To fill this research gap, the impact of nautical tourism in the context of the blue economy was examined and related to the quality of life of the resident population. The main goal of this paper was to investigate the relationship between the blue economy and the quality of life of people in the Mediterranean countries of the EU. For this purpose, a primary survey on the satisfaction of the resident population was conducted, which was compared with the secondary data on the implementation of the blue economy objectives in selected Mediterranean countries in the EU. The research in this article confirmed that the drive towards an implementation of a blue economy have triggered a profound change in Mediterranean countries. The authors proved the hypothesis that the implementation of blue economy goals affects the satisfaction of resident population.
