Abstract
This paper applies an indicator system for evaluating the sustainability of tourism in Croatian coastal tourist
destinations. The applied indicator system is based on the guidelines provided by the World Tourism
Organization, EUROSTAT, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, and the
European Union Tourism Sustainability Group. To simplify measurement and facilitate comparative
analyses between analyzed destinations, synthetic indicators are constructed based on normalized indicator
data and multivariate analysis-based indicator weights. The results in this paper are a first, though still
rough, quantification of tourism sustainability in Croatia.
