Sažetak
During the course of the last few years wellness has appeared on tourist markets worldwide as one of the most significant hotel products. Strong competition imposes the achievement and maintenance of certain quality of hotel wellness centers. The existence and competitiveness of hotel wellness centers on
global tourist markets depend not only upon their quality and specific distinctive features of their offer but also upon reached hygienic standards. Notable numbers of hotel wellness centers in the Republic of Croatia do not comply with demands of
global standards that foreign tourists have been used to. The aim of this work is to point at the need for making and applying hygienic standards in Croatian hotel wellness
centers. The hypothesis of this work is as follows: hygienic standards in Croatian hotel wellness centers have not been clearly defined although there are Regulations regarding safety and health protection in hotel wellness centers in the Republic
of Croatia. Such a policy consequently endangers competitiveness of Croatian hotel wellness centers on an international level. Clear definition and the application
of hygienic standards improve the quality of hotel wellness centers and positively influence safety and health protection of customers thus enhancing competitiveness on an international level and increasing total hotel revenue.
