Sažetak
Tourism is today one of the most important economic activities and nautical tourism as a selective form of tourism
has a special significance for the development of Croatia. It is expressed with constant revenue growth and physical
index of accomplished tasks as well as with socio-economic results in the milieu.
Croatia has a well-indented coast and attractive insular area. All these natural potentials contribute to extraordinary
possibilities for further development of nautical tourism. Nautical tourism on Croatian rivers isn’t developed and it
still isn’t recognised as the economic potential. Systematic approach to the development is missing and as a result
it is manifested only in several recreational forms.
The authors define and analyse the issues that halt the development of nautical tourism on Croatian rivers. Geophysical
and natural characteristics of Croatian rivers, navigability along their waterways as well as possibilities to use these
rivers in order to develop nautical tourism are examined. Authors devote special attention to direct and indirect
benefits of nautical tourism in areas where it could be developed but they also pay attention to the benefits for the
whole country.
