THE IMPACT OF MASS / CRUISING TOURISM ON THE URBAN AREA OF KOTOR
Abstract
The paper refers to the current situation of tourism development in Kotor, as well as the analysis of the impact of cruise tourism development on urban area. Its aim is to show negative impacts of cruise tourism development in Kotor, especially in terms of overloading the urban area, as well positive impacts related to economic benefits. Research is related to the evaluation of existing infrastructure, tourist offer, positive and negative impacts of tourism development. The paper presents indicators of the sustainability of tourist destinations, which indicate the overload of Kotor as a tourist destination. Existing tourism development is not in line with sustainable tourism development, regardless of the economic benefits to Kotor port and local souvenir shops. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully manage the further development of cruise tourism. In the field of economic benefits, consumption analysis of cruise tourists gives us a clear picture of the controversy in the area.
