Sažetak
Cultural tourism means a better quality of tourism. Research has shown that cultural tourism gains significant profit since visitors interested in culture spend more money in hotels, restaurants and generally are greater buyers than the average tourist. Besides, the development of cultural tourism is especially important for cities and destinations which do not have a distinctive image. This image, or better to say the lack of this image does not only imply that the foreigners have no idea about the city, but also that an average Croatian has no greater knowledge on the particular destination. Culture creates the positive image of a destination, and this is very important for Croatia. Precondition of a successful strategy is the creation of cultural image for certain destinations according to which they will be recognized and memorized. This paper examines guidelines for planning regional cultural tourism in Croatia and highlights the main aims of Croatian cultural tourism development strategy.
