Upravo zbog svoje duge povijesti, klime, očuvane kulturne baštine i jedinstvenih prirodnih ljepota već je dugi niz godina destinacija broj jedan svim turistima. Turizam se danas nametnuo kao glavna ekonomska i društvena djelatnost i upravo je zato važno da domaćini grada Dubrovnika dobro poznaju svoj grad, običaje, povijest i strane jezike kako bi s ponosom turistima prepričavali i širili svoju kulturu. Bitno je i da njihovi smještajni kapaciteti budu na nivou klijentele kako bi turizam na tom području što više zaživio. Cilj ovog rada je istaknuti kronološki razvoj Dubrovnika kao grada i stvoriti viziju kakav je bio turizam prije, kakav je sada, a kakav će biti u budućnosti grada Dubrovnika te koliko je zapravo turizam u Dubrovniku bitan.The development of tourism, both in the Republic of Croatia and in the world, has contribued to the growth and the development of the cities themselfs.
