Sažetak
The hostile actions that started in some parts o f Croatia already in 1990, the short war in Slovenia and the following wars in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina affected tourism on the Croatian coast severely.
Although foreign tourism was already stagnating in the late 1980s it has actually been struck by the war events after summer 1990. The number of over-night stays from abroad declined from 38.2 millions in 1989 to 3.0 millions in 1991, i.e. to 7.8% o f the figure in 1989. The northern section of the coast was affected by the decline to almost the same extent as the South. The development since 1991, however, is divergent: While the Dalmatian coast had four years of practically no tourism, the Kvarner and especially Istria enjoyed a quicker recovery.
The paper analyses regional differences in the decline of tourism caused by the wars, the different lines of decline by countries of origin, the reasons for the early recovery in the North as well as the impact of the decline on the economy of the region.
