Abstract

Ovaj rad usmjeren je na analizu potencijala ivanečkog područja za razvoj ruralnog turizma kroz očuvanje i interpretaciju lokalne tradicije i kulturne baštine. Ivanec, smješten u zapadnom dijelu Varaždinske županije, posjeduje bogatu povijesnu i kulturnu baštinu koja bi mogla predstavljati temelj za stvaranje autentičnih turističkih doživljaja. Istraživanjem su identificirani ključni prirodni i kulturni resursi te društveni čimbenici koji podržavaju razvoj turizma, s naglaskom na očuvanje tradicijskih zanata i običaja. Prijedlog novog turističkog proizvoda usmjeren je na interpretaciju lokalne baštine i angažiranje posjetitelja kroz autentična iskustva koja doprinose očuvanju kulturnog identiteta ivanečkog kraja. Time se ne samo obogaćuje turistička ponuda, već i doprinosi razvoju zajednice kroz valorizaciju i zaštitu lokalne baštine te poticanje ruralnog turizma kao jednog od čimbenika revitalizacije područja.

Abstract (english)

This paper focuses on analysing the potential of the Ivanec area for developing rural tourism through the preservation and interpretation of local traditions and cultural heritage. Ivanec, located in the western part of Varaždin County, boasts a rich historical and cultural heritage that could serve as a foundation for creating authentic tourist experiences. The research identifies key natural and cultural resources, as well as social factors that support tourism development, with an emphasis on preserving traditional crafts and customs. The proposed new tourism product aims to interpret the local heritage and engage visitors through authentic experiences that contribute to the preservation of the cultural identity of the Ivanec area. This not only enriches the tourist offer but also contributes to community development by valorising and protecting local heritage and promoting rural tourism as one of the factors for revitalizing the region.
