Sažetak
At the beginning of 21st century, cultural tourism, as a special form of tourism, is becoming a base of tourism policy for many tourism destinations, whether they are already a part of tourist market or are yet to become one. Growing competition among cultural tourism destinations affects demand dispersion and requires additional effort of destination management to attract a greater number of visitors and tourists and to achieve a better competitive position. In such surroundings, Dubrovnik, as a town of rich cultural and historic heritage, is undoubtedly able to compete. The aim of this paper is to examine the attitudes of local population of Dubrovnik as a cultural destination, their familiarity with cultural heritage and cultural manifestations of the town as well as possibilities of cultural heritage valorisation for tourism purposes. Furthermore, the aim of this paper is realized through analysis of collected data, using Kruskal Wallis tests. The results will serve to all stakeholders of cultural heritage offer in destination, especially destination management for better valorisation of cultural heritage in tourism purposes. As purposive sample has been used in the analysis, the results of the research can be considered indicative and cannot be generalized.
