Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to conduct a research and to present the economic impacts which tourism has on the economic development of the Republic of Croatia. Also, different ways of determining those impacts will be analyzed. Based on this research, the analysis of physical and financial effects of tourism at macro level for the period from 2001 to 2012 was conducted. These include: number of overnight stays registered in commercial accommodation facilities (total number and separately for domestic and international toruists) ; international tourism receipts and its share in the GDP and the export of goods and services, etc. Based on former researches, the successfulness of business turnover of several hotel companies in Croatia was analyzed and interpreted. The main aim of this paper is to examine and evalate tourism's economic effects, the models of their calculation and their impact on the economic development of Croatia. The hypothesis in this paper is that there is a myth of objectivity of calculating certain economic effects of tourism. The research method used in the paper is desk research. The results are interpreted using the methods of comparative analysis and the method of description.
