Abstract
The term globalisation has become a part of everyday language in business and political circles and also in education. Croatian tourism is a part of the global economy. It is very important for a small country like Croatia to recognise its environment and to define its goals and priorities. The educational system needs special attention with respect to the development strategy of Croatian tourism, through the framework of the reconstruction o f the Croatian economy and redefinition of tourism products. It is necessary to educate and train tourism
professionals through full-time education programs, on-the-job education and training, and continuing education. A good education system has to be based on scientific research. Educational development needs goal-oriented research.
Educational programs should be created to parallel users’ needs. In the framework of education, global planning and quality curriculum development is especially dependent upon external relationships and students mobility (ECTS - system).
