Sažetak
The main objective of this paper is to point out the potential of event tourism as a catalyst for tourism development, especially of smaller communities in Croatia, and to identify obstacles that threaten the development of event tourism as a serious segment within the tourist offer of a destination. For this reason, the challenges that must be overcome for the broadcasting markets to recognize the event as a reason for choosing a destination are analyzed, so the receptive markets can offer maximum quality of stay and experience, given the carrying capacity of the destination. Thus, possible measures and necessary decisions can be envisaged to improve competitiveness and develop the event over a short and long period of time. All of the above needs to be considered in the context of tourism development through the history and perspectives on tourism of the future, taking into account the competitive advantages.
