Selective Forms of Tourism in Splitsko-Dalmatinska County

Splitsko-dalmatinska županija posjeduje brojne prednosti koje se očituju najviše kroz prirodne ljepote, blagu mediteransku klimu, kulturne atrakcije, čisto Jadransko more i razvedenu obalu s brojnim otocima te se zbog toga uvelike može iskoristiti za razvoj selektivnih oblika turizma. Upravo zbog svih prirodnih i kulturnih atrakcija kojima županija obiluje, potrebno je što više razvijati specifične oblike turizma, a što više izbjegavati razvoj masovnog turizma. Masovni turizam ima brojne negativne posljedice poput velikih onečišćenja okoliša i propadanja kulturno-povijesne baštine. Selektivni oblici turizma, za razliku od masovnog turizma imaju regenerativnu funkciju destinacije u kojoj se oni odvijaju. Splitsko-dalmatinska županija posljednjih se godina razvija u smjeru podržavanja nastanka novih i njegovanja starih selektivnih oblika turizma, međutim, potrebno je uložiti mnogo truda i rada u stvaranje destinacije čiji se razvoj neće i ne treba temeljiti isključivo na ''suncu i moru''.Split-Dalmatia County can be widely used for the development of selective forms of tourism because it abounds in many advantages that are manifested mostly through natural beauty, mild Mediterranean climate, cultural attractions, clean Adriatic Sea and indented coast with many islands. Precisely because of all the natural and cultural attractions that the county abounds in, it is necessary to develop specific forms of tourism as much as possible, and to avoid the development of mass tourism as much as possible. Mass tourism has a number of negative consequences, some of which are major environmental pollution and the deterioration of cultural and historical heritage. Selective forms of tourism, unlike mass tourism, have the regenerative function of the destination in which they take place. In recent years, the Split-Dalmatia County has been developing in the direction of supporting the emergence of new and nurturing old selective forms of tourism, however, it is necessary to invest a lot of effort and work in creating a destination whose development will not be based solely on "sun and sea"
