Abstract
The influence of tourism on the other economic activities is widely known. The change of nutritional habits and structures of foodstuff consumption in the tourism influences the changes in the structure of agricultural production in the tourist regions. Agricultural farms adapt their production to the trends in consuption in tourism, especially within characteristic tourist regions. On the basis of this perception the authors investigated the influence of tourism on the structure of agricultural production, on the example of Istria, as one of the most developed tourist regions in the Republic of Croatia. In the paper authors have demonstrated the results of influences of trends in the tourist consumption, on the structure and volume of agricultural production in Istria. The changes in the tourist demand have resulted in the change in the concept of mass type of tourism to much more demanding offers of entire regional and national resources (natural, cultural, traditional, nutritional). Such trends have influenced the emergence of specialized producers and offers of typical regional products (wines, brandy, smoked ham, olive oil, truffles etc.).
