Abstract

Lika je regija koja posjeduje iznimno vrijednu prirodnu osnovu, kao i bogatu kulturnu baštinu. Velik dio površine Like nalazi se pod određenim stupnjem zaštite, a najstarije i najposjećenije zaštićeno područje u Lici je Nacionalni park Plitvička jezera koji se nalazi i na Popisu svjetske prirodne baštine UNESCO-a. Nacionalni park uvjetovao je snažan razvoj turističke djelatnosti u njegovoj okolici, a time i utjecao na njen gospodarski razvoj, dok je turizam u preostalom dijelu Like, unatoč velikim potencijalima, vrlo slabo razvijen. Cilj istraživanja bio je analizirati postojeće stanje turizma u Lici na temelju čega su dane određene smjernice i prijedlozi za daljnje planiranje razvoja turističke destinacije, u skladu s konceptom održivosti. Za potrebe rada provedeno je anketno istraživanje među stranim posjetiteljima Nacionalnog parka Plitvička jezera te analiza prezentacije turističke ponude u sredstvima komunikacije.
