Abstract
The processes of regional spatial planning and tourism are both interconnected and conditioned. The tourism development defined by its mass-participation certainly leads to spatial degradation. Any overbuilt area (recreational homes, concrete-paved beaches) is most likely to become unattractive to tourists. Within the island of Krk sustainable development the assumptions must be secured for the purposeful resource management based on new principles in order to form the basic suppositions for the transformation of comparative advantages into competitive ones. Two island of Krk essential resources - space and tourism - are particularly accentuated within this work. The future development must be directed towards the sustainable tourism which can protect the island of Krk from the future areal devastation, and in order to achieve it, the ecological-economic destination programme application is proposed by the authors.
