Sažetak
The goal of this paper was to analyze the current status of rural tourism in Eastern Croatia and to identify possibilities, guidelines and methods of its sustainable development. The research has shown that rural tourism in Croatia falls behind the sun-and- beach holiday tourism in costal Croatia and that numerous and diverse natural and social resources in Eastern Croatia are insufficiently employed, especially in the eastern part of the country Past research of rural tourism in continental Croatia relied on individual entreprenurial initiative and scarce funding resources, so that consequently a heterogeneous and fragmented rural tourism offer, based on various tourism forms and special interest tourism types, has developed in an unorganized way. Since the area in question is ecollogicaly preserved and its resources need to be protected for future generations, the issue of rural tourism development unequivocally introduces the concept of sustainable development based on the balance of economic, ecological and social sustainability. For these results the basic hypothesis of this paper has derived that long-term sustainable development of rural tourism in Eastern Croatia may be provided only through integrated tourism offer of special interest tourism and that it is necessary to manage its development at the level of homogeneous region Eastern Croatia. The papaer used for general scientific methods such as desk research and for conducted primary research method of descriptive statistics was used.
