Abstract
Autori ukazuju na aspekte razvoja turizma i hotelijerstva povezane s održivošću razvoja te s društvenim, ekonomskim i ostalim razvojnim utjecajima. Rad ističe brojne utjecaje razvoja turizma na zajednicu, kao i činjenicu da je hotelijerstvo kapitalno intenzivna djelatnost. Stoga se u radu istražuju sastavnice modela upravljanja investicijsko-razvojnim procesom u hotelijerstvu. Autori identificiraju ciljeve, faze i sudionike procesa planiranja i razvoja investicijskih projekata u hotelijerstvu. Identificira se izrazita složenost ovog procesa koja proizlazi iz brojnosti sudionika u procesu, mnogovrsnosti uključenih struka, brojnosti faza i dugotrajnosti procesa, te također i činjenica da su interesi privatnih investitora i javni interesi često suprotstavljeni. Stoga se utvrđuje nužnost uspostave učinkovite koordinacije između svih sudionika i svih aktivnosti procesa. U radu se istražuje praksa upravljanja investicijsko-razvojnim projektima u hotelijerstvu u Hrvatskoj. Provedeno empirijsko istraživanje na uzorku vodećih hotelsko-ugostiteljskih trgovačkih društava u Hrvatskoj dokazalo je potrebu osnivanja specijaliziranih društava za vođenje investicijskog procesa u hotelijerstvu. U radu se analizira nužnost razvoja turizma i hotelijerstva u skladu s načelima održivog razvoja te se ukazuje na potrebu da razvoj hotelijerstva poštuje zakonske okvire i standarde prostornog planiranja koje određuje javni sektor.The authors point out the aspects of tourism and hotel industry development connected with the sustainability of development as well as with social, economic and other development impacts.
