Sažetak
Tourism and space have to date been rather well discussed, however very little discussion has taken place within systematic scientific research such as, for example, within a research on the impact of tourism on space. Even at first glance the overview of the relationship between space and tourism shows that their relationship is very complex, especially if the economic, legal, social, cultural and political impact is taken into account. Tourism takes place in space, and preserved, highly-valuable space is a strategic resource of Croatian tourism. The space designated and used for tourism should be beautiful and attractive, this referring both to man-made and natural spaces. An important component of space and architecture in the tourism offer is the part related to shaping, i.e., the so-called aesthetic component of space. The space used for tourism is utilized on the spot and cannot be transported from another location as raw material. Man can undermine or destroy the value of space by unplanned or poorly planned activities in tourism (primarily by poorly planned construction). Different and mass types of construction in tourism in different spatial and temporal concentrations and pressures can have a harmful and destructive impact upon the natural, working and living environment of the host area. When construction exceeds certain limits, improvement turns into destruction. In that regard, tourism can be both/either a “friend” and/or an “enemy” of space. In addition to exerting a negative impact on space, tourism can also exert a negative impact on itself. By destroying one of its resources – space – tourism may be destroying itself. Space is here viewed not only from the aspect of protection or aesthetic design, but as a resource for further economic development.
