challenges of tourism development in protected areas of croatia and slovenia
propriate cartographic depiction in GIS and graphic presentation of data.
Additionally, special emphasis was given to the question of spatial plan-
ning and management with elaboration of proposals and recommenda-
tions for the further development of tourism in the protected areas of both
countries.
Chapters in this monograph were concluded in December 2019 and
consequently they do not mention the COVID-19 pandemic that has shak-
en the world and established a “new reality” in the tourism sector. The ed-
itors are satisfied that the extent of the studied protected area will expand
in the near future with the establishment of Dinara Nature Park in Croatia.
These facts confirm the importance of continuous research of tourism in
general, as well as tourism in protected areas, due to its rapidly changing
character.
The authors of each chapter sincerely hope that this collection of work
will contribute to scientific collaboration between geographers in Croatia
and Slovenia, as well as with other scholars, practitioners, students and
stakeholders who deal with management and sustainable development of
tourism in protected areas.
The editors would like to thank the authors of the chapters for their
commitment and collaboration, reviewers for their valuable input and cri-
tiques, as well as everyone else who was involved in the creation of this re-
search and the publishing process. Special appreciation must be given also
to our patient spouses for their enormous tolerance during couch surfing
in Zagreb and Šenčur.
