Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to examine the possibilities of cross-border tourism cooperation in the border areas of Slovenia and Croatia. We wanted to determine whether interest exists for cross-border tourism cooperation and what is the level of interest according to tourism supply providers. In surveying the selected population, we have applied a standardized, self-administered questionnaire. In the introductory part, we list the motivations, advantages and weaknesses of cooperation, and in the following section, we focus on the specifics of cross-border cooperation and look at the development stages of cooperation as well as the
levels of cross-border tourism cooperation. Results demonstrate a high level of willingness to cooperate.
Respondents perceive possibilities to increase their tourism offering as well as possibilities of creating a joint tourism offering on the localities with compatible tourist attractions.
