Sažetak
The study deals with theoretical and empirical aspects of the spatial distribution of tourism and the second home phenomenon in Croatia and Slovenia. The hypothesis assumed that the areas with the greatest concentration of tourism in Croatia and Slovenia and the areas with the highest representation of the second home phenomenon in the total housing stock, are one and the same. As previous research showed, developmental interrelationship of tourism and the second home phenomenon can take place according to three scenarios: a) the development of tourism encourages the second home phenomenon ; b) the second home phenomenon develops independently from the development of tourism ; and c) the second home phenomenon “discovers” some attractive location or area, after which tourism development follows. The authors analyzed the spatial distribution of tourism and the second home phenomenon on the national level and according to individual types of tourism/second home areas (littoral, urban, rural, mountain, spa) in both countries. The results of the correlation analysis show that the spatial development of tourism and second homes in Croatia is characterized by an intensive concentration of both types of leisure activities in the littoral areas of the country. On the other hand, in Slovenia the two phenomena are much more evenly represented in all types of tourism/second home areas.
