Abstract

Karlovac kao tranzitni grad i grad na sjecištu glavnih prometnih pravaca ima izrazitu tendenciju rasta boravišnog turizma. Smješten je u blizini tokova četiriju rijeka, zbog čega je atraktivan i turistima iz okolnih gradova, što mu daje mogućnost za razvoj kupališnog i sportsko-rekreacijskog turizma. U njegovoj okolici nalaze se ruralna naselja i seoska gospodarstva koja su već implementirala svoj sadržaj u turističku ponudu. S obzirom da je Karlovac relativno mladi grad (njegovo osnivanje datira iz 1579. godine), posjeduje bogatu kulturno-povijesnu baštinu, kako u samom gradu, tako i u svojoj okolici.
Pogođen razaranjima iz Domovinskog rata i velikom gospodarskom krizom, Karlovac je dugo stagnirao u ekonomskom pogledu, a posljedice osjeća još i danas. Zato je potrebno prepoznati potencijale koji bi pridonijeli lokalnom i regionalnom razvoju i aktivno provoditi mjere i aktivnosti koje bi dale doprinos njegovom oporavku. Manji pomaci naziru se iz projekata financiranih iz pretpristupnih fondova Europske unije, a značajniji koraci ističu se od ulaska Republike Hrvatske u Europsku uniju provođenjem kohezijske politike EU i korištenjem sredstava iz strukturnih fondova.
Ovaj rad temelji se na istraživanju ključnih resursa za razvoj turizma na lokalnoj razini te je deskriptivno-analitičkog karaktera. Istraživanje je provedeno na temelju navedene literature, prikupljenih aktualnih statističkih podataka te na temelju osobnih intervjua s djelatnicima nadležnih institucija i agencija Grada Karlovca (Razvojna agencija, Turistička zajednica grada Karlovca, Upravni odjel za europske integracije, Hrvatska gospodarska komora).

Abstract (english)

As a transit town and a town situated at the intersection of some of the main traffic routes, Karlovac has a prominent growth tendency in residental tourism. It is located near the streams of four rivers, which makes it attractive to the tourists from nearby towns and provides it an opportunity for developing river beach tourism and sports and recreational tourism. In its surroundings, there are rural settlements and farmsteads that have already implemented their contents in the tourist offer. Considering that Karlovac is a relatively young city (its foundation dates back to 1579), it has a rich cultural and historical heritage, both in the town and in its surrounding areas.
Struck by the devastation during the Homeland War and by the global economic crisis, Karlovac has long stagnated in terms of economics, the consequences of which are still felt today. Therefore it is necessary to recognize the potentials which may contribute to the local and regional development, and to actively implement the measures and activities that would contribute to its recovery. Minor improvements can be discerned from the projects funded by the EU pre-accession funds, while more significant steps have been undertaken after the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union through implementing the EU Cohesion Policy and using the instruments from the Structural Funds.
This thesis is based on studying the key resources in the development of tourism at the local level, and has a descriptive-analytical character. The study was conducted on the basis of the literature listed, the obtained actual statistical data, and personal interviews with the personnel of the relevant institutions and agencies of the City of Karlovac (Development Agency, Karlovac Tourist Board, Administrative Department for European Integration, Croatian Chamber of Economy).
