Sažetak
In many tourist destinations in the world, valorised natural environment is a natural tourist attraction that has become the reason of tourist visits and the comparative advantage of Croatian tourism. However, the natural environment is limited by the resources requiring Man's protection, responsible development and management. General opinion is that tourists visiting such natural attractions can harm its naturalism. Therefore, it is considered that Plitvice Lakes National Park has to be developed in accordance with sustainable development codes, practices and guidelines such as limit load capacity, which attempts to control the number of visitors within a space without compromising the features and quality of the natural environment. The Plitvice Lakes area cannot be planned for tourism according to spatial use: its management must be based on environmentally responsible development and capacity, and the tourist demand must be adjusted. This paper begins with the valorised elements of Plitvice Lakes National Park’s natural environment as its bid element, and then analyzes the relationship between limit load capacity and tourist presence. The conclusions and recommendations presented in the paper aim to manage a national park through sustainable development.
