Sažetak
The main objective of this paper is to research the role which the cultural heritage of Istria plays in cultural tourism development. The aim of the research is to identify, differentiate and specify the potentials of the cultural heritage of Istria for the development of cultural tourism in the region of Istria, as well as diversification of the cultural heritage potential at the spatial level of Istrian municipalities and towns. According to the number of tourist beds, arrivals and overnights, Istria is the most developed Croatian county in which the negative impacts of the summer, holiday tourism, exclusively seasonally focussed on the two summer months and spatially concentrated on coastal destinations, have been noticed very early. For the purposes of redefining of Croatian and Istrian tourism, strategies of tourism development have been designed. One of the goals in the strategies is reaffirmation of the cultural heritage as a fundamental component of the cultural tourism of Istria. The main results and findings suggest that, in Istria, 269 immobile cultural goods have been protected, the majority of which are sacral. Of all the municipalities and towns, the town of Pula has the largest number (35) and density of cultural goods, although one part of those goods is not available to tourists or is insufficiently known as a cultural and tourist attraction. Despite a considerable effort, the cultural heritage projects of revitalisation in Istria (Revitas and Heart of Istria) so far have not fully affirmed cultural tourism as a competitive segment of the tourist offer.
