Abstract
Departing from an overview of the historical circumstances of the development of two neighbouring health resorts of the Liburnian coast – Opatija and Lovran, the present paper analyses the steps of the development of legal and sub-legal regulation of health resorts. Particular attention is devoted to the Lovran Regolamento di cura from 1909, to the efforts by Julius Glax, the president of Opatija’s Kurkommission, and to the Public Health Regulation Law which was brought in 1876 for the Hungarian part of the Habsburg monarchy. Finally, an overview is presented of the
recent laws in the Republic of Croatia, indicating the persistance of the problem of insufficiency of the definition and regulation of health tourism.
