Summary: The touristic offer Istria was developed more on the basis
of experience and less on scientific research. Socio-political system also
had negative effects on development of tourism. The concept of mass tourism
of industrial type with mastodom objekts and organizations with predominant
social ownership was adopted.In such model the share of private capital was
minor and foreign joint ventures did not actually exist.Tourism is
identified with number of guest-nights.There is no development of selective
forms of tourism.Touristic offer is not incorporated into the world
information system and the foreign market is reached by means of touristic
agencies and touroperators, with no organized marketing concept.Ekology and
preservation of clean environment is only declarative.This project
determines differences between catering-touristic offer in Istria and
touristic market demands.Suggested are the activities for elimination of
those differeces, change of the present offer structure through
reconstructions and adaptations, produktion of urbanistic plans and
improvement of the quality.
Research goals: One of the main goals of this project is to determin
the direktion of Istrian tourism development which will ensure tourism
equal to the one in development touristic countries.Today,s concept of mass
tourism was not able to ensure that.To realise this goal itis neccessery to
: examine the needs of touristic market especially the foreign one, define
total toristic offer in accordance with possibilities in transformation of
socio-political systemm,determin differences between demand and supply,
suggest action and measures which eliminate possible obstacles in
realization of the demand, change the accomodation capacities structure,
develope selective forms of tourism, develope infrastructure which affects
the future development of Istrian tourism, develope a number of economical
and other activities which directly and indirectly meet the demands of
tourism. It is also neccessary to : make urbanistic (town-planning) designs
which preserve the natural environment and cultural herritage, model the
organizational structure and relations in ownership.Certain scientific and
programatic results are expected to be obtained through this research. Other information about the project.
