Abstract
Dubrovnik's market position was weakening already in the latter half of the 1980s, and the long absence from the evermore demanding tourist market as a consequence of war created additional problems. All this, alongside the unavoidable process of transition and other associated problems, contributed to the serious difficulties facing Dubrovnik's tourism. This paper explores the kind of consequences war had on the tourism of Dubrovnik and the extent to which cultural heritage was adequately represented both in the tourist supply of
Dubrovnik and on the international market. The purpose is to complete an analysis of the existing situation as a basis for the formulation of future strategic goals. With this in mind,
the paper presents some directions for the future development of tourism in Dubrovnik.
