Tourism Development in UNESCO World Protected Sites

Ovim radom analizirano je znaĉenje agencije Ujedinjenih naroda UNESCO te vaţnost njene zaštite. Prikazani su kriteriji potrebni za upis na popis UNESCO-ve zaštićene svjetske baštine. Republika Hrvatska na popisu zaštićene svjetske baštine ima 10 lokacija. Poseban osvrt daje se razvoju turizma u tri grada ĉiji se dijelovi nalaze na UNESCO-vom popisu zaštićene svjetske baštine. Stara gradska jezgra Dubrovnika je na popis UNESCO-ve svjetske baštine upisana 1979. Od tada cijeli grad biljeţi porast broja ostvarenih noćenja putnika i kreveta. Broj dana koji turisti provode u Dubrovniku je sve manji. Dubrovnik vodi bitku s prevelikim brojem kruzera te posjetitelja koji se u povijesnoj jezgri zadrţavaju samo par sati te napuštaju grad u kojem su prethodno stvorili guţve, zastoje, oneĉišćenja i sl. Povijesni kompleks Splita i Dioklecijanova palaĉa upisani su na popis UNESCO-ve zaštićene svjetske baštine 1979. Tijekom 40 godina Split je uspješno povećao broj turista, broj noćenja te broj kreveta. MeĊutim, Split se, kao i Dubrovnik, bori sa sliĉnim problemima. Brzi porast broja turista u posljednjih par godina, kao i porast broja kreveta ostavili su traga na ţivot u gradu. Turisti se u Splitu zadrţavaju kratko kao i posjetitelji s kruzera koji stvaraju guţve i ometaju normalno funkcioniranje stanovništva. Trogir je grad koji je posljednji uvršten na UNESCO-v popis zaštićene svjetske baštine. Od 1997. do danas, Trogir je povećao broj turista s pet na 100 tisuća. Broj noćenja po osobi se u odnosu na 1997. smanjio, dok broj kreveta nije znatno rastao. Trogir je primjer razvoja turizma koji bi ostali gradovi trebali slijediti. Posjećuju ga samo turisti koji se u njemu zadrţavaju neko vrijeme te nema jednodnevnih posjetitelja s kruzera. U svim gradovima se smanjuje interes za resursima koji su promatrane gradove doveli na listu zaštićene UNESCO-ve baštine.This thesis explains the purpose of the UN agency UNESCO and introduces us with the UNESCO protection. Throughout this thesis are shown criteria necessary for the enlistment to the list of UNESCO's protected heritage. The Republic of Croatia has 10 locations that are enlisted on the list of protected heritage. The thesis focuses on the development of tourism in 3 cities that are under the protection of UNESCO. Dubrovnik has been inscribed in 1979. From that point onwards Dubrovnik excels on significant development in terms of number of visitors, number of stays and number of beds. The number of days that tourists spend in Dubrovnik are lesser, and Dubrovnik battles with too many cruise ships and visitors who spend only few hours on the old town, and the leave the city where they have been the cause of the crowd and pollution. The historical complex of Split and the Diocletian’s palace has been inscribed on the list of UNESCO's heritage protection in 1979. During 40 years, Split has successfully increased the number of tourists and the overnights and number of beds. Just like Dubrovnik, Split battles similar problems. Rapid increase of tourists in the last few years, also the increase of used beds have left their toll on the life on the city. Tourists visit Split for a brief time just like visitors from cruise ships which make crowds and disrupt normal life of citizens. Trogir is the city which was the last to be put under the protection of UNESCO. Since 1997 until now, Trogir had increased the number of tourists from five to hundred thousand. Number of overnights per person has decreased in relations to 1997 while the number of beds hasn’t grown significantly. Trogir is example of tourism development which the rest of cities should follow. It is visited just by tourists that spend few days in it, so it doesn’t have one day visits. In all cities interest for resources which those cities brought to protection of UNESCO is decreased
