Sažetak
Transport and tourism are mutually connected. Without efficient and developed transportation network, development of tourism could not be possible. In the same time tourism generates transportation flows. Over the past few years, with the rise of low-cost service, air transportation is becoming more and more important in development of tourism in Croatia. In the Croatian littoral there are five airports and two smaller airports open for public. The aim of the paper is to analyse and explain the impact of air transportation on development of tourism in the Croatian littoral. Analysis was made by using the data collected from the flight schedule and airport authorities. The data on frequency of lines and number of passengers were analysed with in order to correlate distribution of the number of passengers with the number of tourists during the year. Data for the time period form 2008 till 2010 were analysed in more detail by dividing the passengers in four categories: full-service passengers, low-cost passengers, charter passengers and other passengers (smaller private planes etc.). Based on the number of connections between European and Croatian airports major touristic markets are identified. Last part of the paper deals with the rising role of low-cost services on development of tourism in Croatian Adriatic region.
