| Abstract | Slavonija spada pod ruralna područja Republike Hrvatske u kojima je posljednjih godina, a posebno od trenutaka kada je RH pristupila punopravnom članstvu EU vidljiv izražen trend depopulacije, koji je nastao kao posljedica otvaranja granica. Seoski turizam kao specifičan tip turizma ima potencijal cjelogodišnjeg razvoja te je ujedno riječ o turizmu koji može potaknuti razvoj ruralnih područja. Jedna od specifičnosti svakako je i mogućnost prodaje domaćih proizvoda na samom pragu, uz nuđenje drugih usluga na OPG-ovima. Moguće je istaknuti kako je Slavonija vrlo bogata kulturom, ali i drugim resursima koji su danas uglavnom neiskorišteni. Jedan od njih svakako su i ergele konja čiji potencijal je uglavnom neiskorišten, a mogle bi potaknuti razvoj više tipova turizma u Slavoniji. Jedan od njih svakako je i rehabilitacijski turizam budući da su se konji dosada pokazali kao vrlo dobri u postupku rehabilitacije npr. osoba s posebnim potrebama. Turizam koji bi se razvijao u Slavoniji izravno doprinosi održivom razvoju turizma budući da ovaj tip turizma nije orijentiran isključivo na profitabilnost, već je riječ o turizmu koji bi značajno doprinio razvoju društvene zajednice te očuvanju prirodnih resursa. Iako se na prvi mah pretpostavlja kako u Slavoniji ne postoje kapaciteti za prihvat većeg broja turista, to zapravo nije tako, budući da postoji potencijal razvoja smještajnih kapaciteta u kućama koje su trenutno prazne, kao i u objektima koji su građeni tradicionalnom gradnjom, što bi potencijalno moglo doprinijeti poboljšanju turističkog doživljaja. |
| Abstract (english) | Slavonia belongs to the rural areas of the Republic of Croatia, where in recent years, and especially since the moment when the Republic of Croatia joined the full membership of the EU, a pronounced trend of depopulation has been visible, which arose as a result of the opening of borders. At the same time, there is a significant development of tourism in the territory of the Republic of Croatia, primarily in the coastal area, but it is a form of tourism that is seasonal, bathing in nature. At the same time, this type of tourism has the characteristics of mass tourism, which today stands out in the literature as a very negative phenomenon. Another extremely negative fact is the seasonal character, since this tourism is based on the arrivals and overnight stays of tourists primarily in the period from June to August. Rural tourism, as a specific type of tourism, has the potential for year-round development, and it is also tourism that can stimulate the development of rural areas. One of the specifics is certainly the possibility of selling domestic products at the doorstep, in addition to offering other services at OPGs. It is possible to point out that Slavonia is very rich in culture, but also in other resources that are mostly unused today. One of them is definitely the horse stables, whose potential is mostly unused, and could stimulate the development of several types of tourism in Slavonia. One of them is certainly rehabilitation tourism, since horses have so far proven to be very good in the rehabilitation process, for example, of people with special needs. Tourism that would develop in Slavonia directly contributes to the sustainable development of tourism, since this type of tourism is not oriented solely on profitability, but rather tourism that would significantly contribute to the development of the social community and the preservation of natural resources. |
