Tourism under the influence of wars and crisis in the 20th century

Turizam u današnje vrijeme predstavlja vrlo jak gospodarski sektor neke države i kao takav donosi velike prihode. U dvadesetom stoljeću turizam je doživio svoj veliki razvoj i nametnuo se kao veoma profitabilna djelatnost, ali dvadeseto stoljeće su također obilježile velike globalne krize i svjetski ratovi kakvi nisu bili zabilježeni u prijašnjoj povijesti svijeta. Tema ovog završnog rada promatra razvoj turizma u najcrnjim vremenima koja su zahvatila svijet u dvadesetom stoljeću, te kako je turizam u takvom vremenu opstao i uspio se razviti u ono što je danas. Proučavanjem dostupne literature utvrđeno je kakvo je bilo stanje kroz povijest i nastojalo se prikazati na koji su se način turizam i veliki ratovi i krize ispreplitali. Kada u svijetu vlada kaos u bilo kojem obliku, održivost turizma je upitna, kaos može izazvati jako negativne učinke na cjelokupno gospodarstvo neke države i stvoriti veliki osjećaj nesigurnosti kod ljudi te, naposljetku, ugroziti ljudske živote. Međutim, ljudska priroda je takva da se, usprkos svim nedaćama koje su se redale kroz povijest, znatiželja za otkrivanjem i putovanjem na nova područja samo povećala. Dvadeseto stoljeće je osim ratova i kriza sa sobom dovelo i velike tehnološke inovacije na svim poljima, te ni turizam nije bio iznimka.Tourism is a very strong economic sector and as such it can generate a great income to some countries. Throughout the twentieth century, tourism has experienced a great growth and it is considered as a very profitable business. But the twentieth century is also an era which was marked by the great global crisis and world wars that were not previously recorded in the world history. The theme of this thesis looks at the development of tourism throughout the dark period of the twentieth century and how the tourism survived and managed to develop itself into what it is today. By studying the available literature, it was determined what was the state of history of that time and what tourism, big wars and crises had in common. When chaos rules the world the sustainability of tourism is rather questionable, chaos can have a very negative impact on the overall economy of some countries and it can create a great sense of insecurity among people and, ultimately, endanger human lives. However, human nature is such that, despite all the disadvantages of history, the curiosity for discovering and traveling to new areas has only increased. In the twentieth century, apart from the wars and the crisis, major technological innovations were brought in all fields, and tourism was no exception
