Sažetak
Culture has been considered an important aspect of sustainable development and mainly researched in the context of indigenous cultures and cultural heritage. Moreover, the promotion of cultural diversity and the preservation and conservation of tangible and intangible (local) cultural heritage have been regarded as an important principle of sustainable tourism development. However, culture’s main characteristics such as fluidity, dynamism and constant change represent an obstacle to the notion of preservation especially regarding the intangible aspects of cultural identity. In addition, identity does not exist as a fixed entity but evolves over time. This article aims to question the principle of cultural sustainability in sustainable tourism development using research results of two case studies carried out in the Republic of Croatia as an interpretation platform for identity changes. The changes in the aspect of cultural identity such as customs and carnivals induced by tourism development were addressed using the examples of the Rabska fjera and the winter and summer carnivals in Senj.
