Adriatic cruises

U radu se navodi teorijski prikaz nautičkog turizma s naglaskom na razvojne aspekte kruzing turizma u globalnom kontekstu i analiza kružnih putovanja Jadranom (intervju sa djelatnikom turističke agencije u vezi problematike istraživanja kružnih putovanja Jadranom). Osim pojmovnih određenja vrste nautičkog turizma s naglaskom na luke nautičkog turizma, charter i kruzing, objašnjava se moderni svjetski kruzing turizam na Mediteranu, Karibima, Aziji i na Pacifiku. Kružna putovanja Jadranom istražena su i analizirana putem anketiranja gostiju na kružnim putovanjima u Hrvatskoj te se došlo do saznanja o njihovim stavovima i zadovoljstvu na kružnom putovanju u Republici Hrvatskoj. Također se navode negativne posljedice utjecaja korone na kružna putovanja Jadranom. Naglasak u radu je na pronalaženju kompromisnih rješenja oko potrebe za očuvanjem prirodnog okoliša i potrebe za ekonomskim razvojem, što predstavlja jedan od ciljeva ovog rada. Ukazuje se na prednosti i nedostatke razvoja turizma kružnih putovanja u Republici Hrvatskoj i općenito u Svijetu te na koje sve načine postojeći prirodni resursi i ulaganja u moderniju infrastrukturu mogu dovesti do intenzivnijeg razvoja nautičkog turizma.The thesis presents a theoretical overview of nautical tourism with emphasis on the development aspects of cruising tourism in the global context and analysis of cruises on the Adriatic (intervju with a travel agency employee regarding the research of cruises on the Adriatic). In addition to the conceptual definitions of the type of nautical tourism with an emphasis on nautical tourism ports, charter and cruising, modern world cruising tourism in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Asia and the Pacific is explained. Cruises on the Adriatic were researched and analyzed by surveying guests on cruises in Croatia and found out about their attitudes and satisfaction with the cruise in the Republic of Croatia. The negative consequences of the corona's influence on cruises on the Adriatic are also stated. The emphasis of the paper is on finding compromise solutions around the need to preserve the natural environment and the need for economic development, which is one of the goals of this paper. The advantages and disadvantages of the development of cruise tourism in the Republic of Croatia and in the World in general are pointed out, and in what ways the existing natural resources and investments in modern infrastructure can lead to more intensive development of nautical tourism
