Sažetak
Croatia bases its tourism development upon abundance of natural and historic-cultural resources and nearness of the emitive markets. It more intensively joined the international tourist movement in the middle of the 1960s having become a medium-developed tourist country of the European Mediterranean. A decrease of the tourism flow which had began in the second half of the 1980s, culminated during the armed aggression on Croatia. The losses of tourist flow during eight war and post-war years have been estimated to 325 million of the lost overnight stays, respectively to 13 milliard US$. In order to increase the tourist flow it is necessary to raise the quality of the tourist offer and co-ordinate in with the leading trends in the world. Due to the process of transition from the planned to the market economy, there is a revision of the existing law regulations in Croatia. A new cycle of the Croatian tourism has been started in this way. It is based on rising of the quality and enrichment of the tourism offer other than board and lodging.
