challenges of tourism development in protected areas of croatia and slovenia
Experiences of developed tourism destinations in the Mediterranean
area confirmed that, in cases of similar accommodation capacities, desti-
nations with more beds in hotels have much higher numbers of tourist ar-
rivals and overnight stays than those with high shares of accomodation in
private households. Furthermore, as Mljet National Park is the most pres-
sured area, priority should be given to preserving the environment and de-
veloping non-invasive tourism activities that would valorise it. If the para-
digm of tourism development on Mljet remains the same, the island could
face degradation of its natural environment and cultural landscape, as well
as lack of sufficient workforce and the need to import a larger number of
workers from the mainland.
