Sažetak
Energy supply represents not only the energetic and ecological undertaking factor of tourist economy bearers, but the factor of profitability and competitiveness within the foreign tourist market as well. Lower energy costs form the prerequisites for higher profit accomplishments, as well as better market price competitiveness. Instead of exploiting natural resources, tourism should make the most of them, which brings into relief the directing of tourist economy subjects towards the use of restorable energy sources, particularly solar and wind energy. Too intense exploiting of fossil combustible in recent years brought to the considerable life environment damage, with consequences perceptible in the tourist sector as well. When harnessing sun and wind the material means are economized, thus obtaining the same result as with use of the traditional means at considerable higher costs. The trend of fossil combustible substitution with restorable energy sources is present in the developed countries throughout the world ; the USA energetic policy obliges the producers to obtain a minimum of 15% of electric energy from restorable energy sources until 2020, and the wind power-plants installed within the European Union in year 2005 produced approx. 2.8% of the total electric energy consumption in the European Union in the year 2004. In spite of favourable climate features of Croatia, expressed in terms of insulation and wind-strength, the restorable energy sources are still used rather insignificantly. Some positive moves in such a trend are noticeable on the island of Pag and in the town of Šibenik, where the electric energy is obtained in wind power-plants. In accordance with the concept of sustainable development of tourism, both solar energy and wind-mill energy should represent the skeleton for the energetic supply of the Croatian tourist coastline in the future. And only then, with the right amount of energy and without dependence on the world energetic markets, Croatia can develop its own healthy economic and tourist future.
