challenges of tourism development in protected areas of croatia and slovenia
of ecosystems in both countries and the entire European Union to which
Croatia and Slovenia belong.
Having in mind afore mentioned issues, this publication could arouse
great interest from the scientific public, not only geographical but also by
other scientific population and general public. This primarily refers to all
stake holders interested in nature protection and individuals engaged in
various types of tourist and other activities in protected areas. This is es-
pecially important nowadays, when environmental awareness is growing,
and the concept of sustainable development that takes care of the environ-
ment is becoming a mainstream in tourism planning in the world.
Although the chapters of the book are made in the form of individual
works and have been produced by different authors, the book has the form
of a coherent material. Namely, each of the papers looks at the issues of en-
vironmental protection and management of protected areas in a different
way, covering all key aspects, from climate change to the carrying capaci-
ty of protected areas for tourism. Therefore, this scientific book represents
a useful tool for the scientific and other population interested in environ-
mental protection and tourism development in protected areas not only in
Croatia and Slovenia, but also in other countries.
