Sažetak
This paper examined the possibilities of tourism development in the Šestanovac Municipality,
a rural area of the Omiš part of the Dalmatinska Zagora region. The elements of natural and
cultural heritage that can be valorized in tourism were evaluated and the current state of tourism
in the municipality was analyzed based on the statistical data and fieldwork. A survey was
also conducted to find out the opinion of the local population on various aspects of tourism
development in the Šestanovac Municipality. The results indicate that the number of tourists
visiting Šestanovac is not large, but it is continuously increasing. So far, the most developed
form of tourism is rural tourism on small family farms and in holiday homes and adventure
tourism that takes place in the Cetina River Canyon, on Biokovo Mountain, and on cycling
trails. The tangible and intangible cultural heritage is not yet sufficiently valorized and should
be included more in the tourist offer. The local population believes that tourism can play a big
role in the future economic development of the municipality and generally positively perceives
everything that is happening concerning tourism in Šestanovac.
