Abstract
Today in Croatia, discordant views can be encountered at local and regional levels regarding responsibilities for the development of towns, municipalities and counties as tourism destinations. This underlines the necessity of establishing a superior tourism organisation that would integrate the interests of local authorities, tourism organisations, tourism supply providers and residents, and that would, on the one hand, possess the legitimate authority, knowledge and vision needed for destination development, while, on the other hand, it would be accountable for the destination’s development.
