Abstract

The paper presents an overview of opportunities provided from cultural and green tourism and results of examination of behavior, perception and attitudes in visual impression, stay and emotions from respondents at Adventure days in 2021 year in Šibenik. Šibenik The Adventura days were open from 3rd of December 2021 until the 1st January 2022 year, and after one-year break caused from Covid-19 pandemic. On the occasion of above, the city's public green and other public areas were specially arranged, among which the Robert Visiani Park and City Square stand out. Today, mass tourism is past and it is necessary to turn to some other, alternative, form of tourism. In addition to cultural tourism, we also need to develop green or horticultural (garden) tourism, development of which began at the end of the twenties of the last century in England. Based on the research obtained from the survey of the students of the Šibenik University of Applied Sciences, the respondents gave the best rating to the arrangement and design of Park of R. Visiani (4,19). During the Adventure 2021 days, respondents mostly visited Park of R. Visiani, Square Poljana and Street of King Tomislav (Kalelarga Street). Respondents felt most comfortable on the Square Poljana, and on the green areas in Robert Visiani's Park and then on the Šibenik coast (The Franjo Tuđman Coast Street). More than 60 % of the respondents were of the strong opinion that Šibenik's city core has tourist potential in the adventure period of 2021, and that the communal, spatial and
landscape design City of Šibenik should be improved to the level of excellence. The obtained results can serve the city authorities and the tourism sector for the improvement of the destination in the period of the next adventures.
