Abstract

Ovaj rad istražuje turizam temeljen na prirodi u slunjsko-plitvičkom kraju, s naglaskom na povezanost Nacionalnog parka Plitvička jezera s ostalim atrakcijama u blizini. Cilj istraživanja bio je analizirati motivaciju, aktivnosti, obilježja putovanja i zadovoljstvo posjetitelja, kao i ispitati turističku ponudu i infrastrukturu ovog područja. Podaci su prikupljeni putem anketnog istraživanja posjetitelja Nacionalnog parka i Rastoka. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju visoko zadovoljstvo... More posjetitelja s prirodnim ljepotama i kulturnom baštinom, no također ukazuju na nedostatak koordinacije između različitih turističkih lokaliteta, što može rezultirati fragmentiranim iskustvom za posjetitelje. Iako postoje jasne prednosti u prirodnim resursima, infrastruktura nije dovoljno razvijena i usklađena s potrebama svih dionika, a povećan turistički pritisak stvara izazove u održavanju i očuvanju tih resursa. Istraživanje naglašava potrebu za integracijom svih ključnih atrakcija u jedinstvenu ponudu, koja bi omogućila lakšu povezanost između lokaliteta, te za održivim razvojem turizma koji poštuje prirodne i kulturne vrijednosti. Daljnji razvoj trebao bi uključivati bolju suradnju između lokalne zajednice, pružatelja usluga i turističkih dionika, čime bi se stvorila dugoročna održivost ovog područja. Less

Abstract (english)

This thesis explores nature-based tourism in slunjsko-plitvička area, with a focus on the connection between Plitvice Lakes National Park and other nearby attractions. The aim of the research was to analyse visitor motivation, activities, travel characteristics, and satisfaction, as well as to examine the tourism offerings and infrastructure of the region. Data was collected through a survey conducted with visitors of Plitvice Lakes National Park and Rastoke. The findings show high... More visitor satisfaction with the natural beauty and cultural heritage, but also point to a lack of coordination between various tourist sites, which can result in a fragmented experience for visitors. While there are clear advantages in natural resources, the infrastructure is not sufficiently developed and aligned with the needs of all participants, and increased tourist pressure creates challenges in maintaining and preserving these resources. The research highlights the need to integrate all key attractions into a unified offering, which would improve connectivity between sites, and for sustainable tourism development that respects natural and cultural values. Further development should include better collaboration between the local community, service providers, and tourists, creating long-term sustainability for the area. Less
