Abstract

Bliski Istok regija je duge povijesti, puna etničkih, vjerskih, socioekonomskih i teritorijalnih rascjepa i sukoba. Unatoč nestabilnoj političkoj situaciji i ratnim sukobima u njoj i susjednim državama, ova regija svake godina pokazuje izvanredne turističke rezultate izuzmemo li 2020. godinu kada je došlo do ograničenja turističkih kretanja. Atraktivni kulturni faktori imaju glavnu ulogu u turističkom razvoju država arapskog svijeta te su se upravo u ovom dijelu svijeta razvile prve svjetske velike civilizacije i desili neki od najvažnijih svjetskih povijesnih događaja. Atraktivnost i jedinstvenost regije očituje se u arapskoj povijesti i kulturi koja se miješa sa modernim urbanim centrima koji privlače milijune turista svake godine. Bliski istok turistička je regija raznolike turističke ponude. Spoj vjerskog, kupališnog, shopping - turizma i kulturno - povijesnih spomenika, osigurava Bliskom istoku različitu paletu za zadovoljavanje turističkih potreba te se u tome očituje potencijal ove regije za turistički razvoj u godinama koje slijede. Budućnost bliskoistočnog turizma leži u otvaranju arapskih država svjetskom tržištu i stabilizaciji političke situacije koja će dovesti do međuregionalne odnosno međunarodne suradnje za kvalitetan i stabilan turizam.

Abstract (english)

The Middle East is a region with a long history, full of ethnic, religious, socioeconomic and territorial divisions and conflicts. Despite the unstable political situation and war conflicts in it and neighboring countries, this region shows extraordinary tourism results every year, except for 2020, when tourist movements were restricted. Attractive cultural factors play a major role in the tourism development of the countries of the Arab world, and it is in this part of the world that the world's first great civilizations developed and some of the world's most important historical events took place. The attractiveness and uniqueness of the region is reflected in the Arab history and culture that mixes with modern urban centers that attract millions of tourists every year. The Middle East is a tourist region with a diverse tourist offer. The combination of religious, beach, shopping-tourism and cultural-historical monuments provides the Middle East with a different palette for meeting tourist needs, and this shows the potential of this region for tourism development in the years to come. The future of Middle Eastern tourism lies in the opening of the Arab countries to the world market and the stabilization of the political situation, which will lead to interregional or international cooperation for quality and stable tourism.
