Sažetak
In a country like Croatia which depends on tourism, protection of animals represents an economic factor, says President of the German Association There are lot of reasons why a well-organized system of animal protection could be very important for the tourism industry in the Mediterranean region. People from central or northern Europe, who want to spend their vacation in one of the Mediterranean countries, compare many things before making a final decision when choosing the country in which to spend those special moments - their vacation. In addition to comparison the key costs, fuel, accommodation, sandy beaches, entertainment, etc., tourists also compare the condition of animal protection in these countries as a very important factor for a pleasant holiday. Tourists want to enjoy their vacation. They do not want to see hungry and sick dogs or cats roaming in front of their hotels and other accommodation facilities or anywhere in the country during their journey. Tourists often take their pets with them. Therefore, they inform themselves about possibilities and quality of pet accommodations, professional care, and the availability of veterinary clinics. In the end, they will choose to stay in the country with the best care for their pets, dogs and cats. Therefore, organized professional care for animals, which would show tourists that animals are welcomed and beloved, can be a very important argument when inviting foreign tourists to spend their holidays in Croatia.
