Sažetak
The crisis, that has for a long time affected the euro-zone, had a strong impact on the decline in tourist travels between countries affected by the crisis. From the euro-zone countries, the crisis affected Greece the most, while other prominent tourist countries such as Italy, Spain, and Portugal, although themselves in crisis, achieved slightly better tourist results compared with the year before. The positive indicators were published in a World Travel Monitor study, jointly presented by the world's tourist trade convention ITB from Berlin, and Institute for Market Research IPK International, that realistically assess tourism trends in travelling. The crisis and its side-effects have been affecting Croatia for six years already, and most of the population have already become accustomed to its effects. At the beginning of each term, politicians deceive the public by saying their life would soon improve, only to be proven liars. Not a single production type is profitable, and each new government relies on the effects of tourism. Essentially, there are no significant stimulations of achieving maximum tourism effects for the benefit of the people. Land and fields are not cultivated as much as they should be, and once successful production facilities are closing, while the number of 220, 000 and 315, 000 blocked people (data from 2014) grows every day. Two years ago, tourism employees expressed their satisfaction with the achieved results in the tourist season. They had one of the most successful tourist seasons in the history of Croatian tourism. Despite the bad weather last year, 2014, they achieved slight increase of 2, 3 per cent. It should be noted that the global crisis has not had a negative impact on all economic parts and sectors in Europe.
