Sažetak
Adverse consequences of the contemporary littoralisation process impose the need of the maximizing of the use of coastal areas. Concerning the conflicts arising from the land-use, it can be claimed that the major risks are related to the areas dedicated to tourism. Indeed, these areas are usually understood and treated as areas occupied by tourism constructions. However, efforts have been made in order to redefine the notion and purpose of the tourism areas, as to ensure an integral and sustainable tourism development. On the other hand, as far as tourism as economic activity is concerned, there is also a lack of understanding of space (in terms of attraction factor), tourism dedicated areas in particular. Space, as tourism development factor, is often misunderstood or neglected. Consequently, this and other natural resources have been devastated eventually resulting in the diminished attraction of the tourism destination. Therefore, the authors developed a concept of tourism eco-rent as a mean of protection of land/space dedicated to or used by tourism industry. It is based on the traditional rent principle related to the different value of land. It develops a spatial matrix differentiating types of land, pristine and inhabited areas, urban and rural areas etc. Moreover, a practical model has been developed for calculation of the tourism eco-rent that can be applied in any tourism dedicated area. The revenues gained from this rent should be used for the protection and/or improvement of the areas dedicated to tourism.
