Interdependence of traffic and tourism in Croatia

U radu je provedena analiza međuovisnosti prometa i turizma u Hrvatskoj, dviju međusobno povezanih gospodarskih grana važnih za razvoj zemlje. Utvrđene su glavne uloge prometa, prometnih grana i prometne infrastrukture u razvoju turizma te kako promet i turizam mogu negativno utjecati na okoliš. Na primjeru Hrvatske prikazani su statistički podaci o broju turista koji tijekom turističke sezone dolaze u Hrvatsku te koja je prometna grana prvi izbor turista prilikom putovanja u Hrvatsku. Provedenom je analizom utvrđeno da razvoj prometa istodobno znači i razvoj turizma.This research paper analyzes the interdependance of traffic and tourism in Croatia, the two of mutually interrelated eonomic branches important for the development of the country.
