Sažetak
Globalisation is a complex process in which the world economy is shaped and equally affects tourism. At the end of 2008, global economy was hit by the economic crisis, which did not bypass tourism, as its integral part. The consequences of the economic crisis are the decline of financial and production power in the world economy, which unfavourably reflects on unemployment and standards of living. Unemployment and the fall of standards of living of the population affect tourist movements, which are, in such circumstances, reduced both in scope and structure. Furthermore, the decline of standards of living reduces tourists' buying power, due to which, a decline in tourist expenditure is to be bexpected. Following the quoted hypothesis, the purpose and the aim of this paper is to research the influence of global economic crisis in the segments of the tourist movements and expenditure on the example of the Istrian tourist destination. The research will be carried out in two phases ; theoretical and empirical. The first phase concerns the research of the theoretical base, within which the relevant knowledge from the area of tourist expenditure will be systematised. The empirical research is based on statistical records and a survey conducted in the period between June and October 2009, involving tourists from coastal Istria. A comparative analysis will also be used in order to detect deviations in tourist movements in Istria compared to previous years.
