Sažetak
An assessment of future Croatian health tourism development aligned with a comprehensive and preventive environmental health approach was conducted. The results of the conducted preventive or corrective environmental monitoring in specific health tourism objects were evaluated. Environmental monitoring was carried out at the Andrija Stampar Teaching Institute of Public Health during 2014-2018 relying on the institutional database. Simultaneously, public database searches were conducted in order to retrieve original articles related to the literature on health tourism and public health compliance, related to the determinants of environmental health in facilities of this purpose. Results of the analysis of different environmental samples (water, food, air, or objects of common use) in specific facilities of health tourism were processed. In conclusion, a very narrow set of the critical risk assessment points could be proposed at this moment due to the inadequate datasets available on the institutional level. For an accurate and efficient health risk assessment, the most optimal health and environmental indicators must be proposed based on continuous monitoring and a more significant number of monitoring results. Further development of the sustainable health tourism infrastructure with the consultant and analytical support of preventively orientated public health institutions and their wide network of the project partners represents a superior ecosystem suitable for the future growth of value-added health tourism in Croatia.
