Relations Between Transport and Tourism- Croatia's Possibilities

Relations between tourism and transport industries are importantfor the entire Croatian economy and are expected togrow in the future. The most important thing from the aspect oftransport is definitely the infrastructure of all branches of transport(primarily road traffic), followed by the development ofship and ferry lines, both along the Adriatic coast and betweenthe islands. The construction of transport access and infrastructureof our tourist destinations, as well as transport linksbetween them, is crucial for the development of tourism. Morethan 70 per cent of foreign tourists and 70 per cent of touristboats (up to 7 m) come to Croatia by roads. They all expecttransport infrastructure on a European level, providing fast,safe and comfortable transport from their homes to tourist destinations.Therefore, our transport lines and their quality, roadfeatures, traffic capability and equipment are what the developmentof our tourism depends on, especially in central andsouthern Adriatic, considering the wider economic goals ofCroatia and the growing interest of the European Union in ourcountry, its economy and tourism.

Human Potentials Management in Transport

The main goal of this scientific study is to explore the significanceof human potentials management in micro and macrotransport systems, i. e. whether and to what extent do the humanpotentials represent the factor of growth and developmentof transport systems. The facts gathered by this study shouldrepresent quantitative starting points for viewing the specifics oftransport service productions and future movements on thetransport labour market, and the possibilities of informationtechnologies implementation in transport human potentialsmanagement optimisations, all with the aim of producing newand of improving the inherited comparative advantages of theCroatian transport systems.
