Abstract
There have not been many studies on the role of lighthouses throughout history. Since the lighthouse has become
a prototypical example of a good market solution for the public goods problem, there is a high demand
for these studies. The authors develop a concept of study in which the problem of lighthouse maintenance
becomes a business problem by including restored lighthouse facilities in the tourist offer. They justify this
kind of approach with concrete examples of valorising lighthouse facilities through commercial activities. In
the period of globalization and that of striving for constant economic development and product optimization,
lighthouses are becoming an inevitable part of the tourist offer of the Republic of Croatia. The restoration
and commercialization of lighthouse facilities are very important in gaining a competitive advantage over
other tourist destinations in Europe.
