Sažetak
Tourist attractions and the appeal of destinations are a fundamental basis for developing tourism. The hypothesis of this paper states that any destination having some of the listed elements becomes an interesting tourist destination for visitors. The paper’ s sub-hypothesis is derived from its primary hypothesis. The wealth of natural and cultural heritage is the key element in the development of the Croatian tourist industry. National parks, nature parks, various cultural heritage, the development and impressiveness of the Adriatic coast, the beauty of the inland, picturesque villages with rich and colourful history, various theme events and historical urban units are all preconditions to the development of the Croatian tourist product. A destination that possesses some of the elements listed above can become attractive to visitors, that is, primary tourist motivations are replaced with secondary and tertiary motivations, as discussed in this paper. From the above, it follows that this research paper analyses ways of adapting a tourist product to the expectations and needs of the market. The research results stated in this paper should underline the need for promoting the tourist attractions of Croatian destinations, which possess certain elements such as scenic spots, cultural and historical heritage, or events for the purpose of making them more appealing to visitors/tourists.
