Povezanost prometa i turizma u
suvremenom gospodarstvu zahtijeva detaljnija
istraživanja. Promet i turizam, kao međusobno
povezani fenomeni, ovise jedan o drugome,
utječu jedan na drugoga, a gospodarskom
strategijom Republike Hrvatske određeni su kao
jedni od nositelja gospodarskog razvitka zemlje.
Pozitivni i negativni efekti kojima promet utječe
na razvoj turizma s vremenom postaju sve
izraženiji, te ih je potrebno međusobno
usklađivati na osnovama održivog razvitka,
čuvajući čovjekov okoliš, na čemu se temelji
turizam u Hrvatskoj. Dosadašnja prometna
politika neravnomjernog razvoja prometnog
sustava, po kojoj se cestovni promet brzo razvijao
posebice kroz izgradnju objekata prometne
infrastrukture, dok su druge prometne grane
stagnirale, ne može osigurati kvalitetnu logističku
potporu turizmu u budućnosti.
Zbog toga se ovim radom daje daljnji doprinos
istraživanju povezanosti prometa i turizma. U
radu se navode najvažnije uloge koje promet ima u
turizmu, analizira se odnos pojedinih prometnih
grana i turizma, valorizira se povoljan geografski
položaj Republike Hrvatske kroz osvrt na mrežu
europskih prometnih koridora, te se krozstatističke podatke analizira percepcija turista koji
dolaze u Hrvatsku vezana za ulogu i kvalitetu
prometa u njihovim turističkim aktivnostima.
Zaključno se daje kratak osvrt na tendencije
razvoja prometa u budućnost, kroz analizu
definiranih strateških pravaca razvoja prometnog
sustava u funkciji hrvatskog turizma.The relationship between transport
and tourism in a modern economy requires
further research. Transport and tourism, as
mutually interrelated phenomena, depend on one
another, and the economic strategy of the
Republic of Croatia places them among principal
factors in the country’s economic development.
The positive and negative effects of transport on
tourism development are becoming more obvious
and the two need to be harmonised on the basis of
sustainable development, by preserving the human
environment, which is the basis of Croatian
tourism. The former transport policy of unequal
development of the transport system, as a result of
which road transport developed rapidly, in
particular through the construction of transport
infrastructure facilities, while other branches of
transport stagnated, cannot ensure high-quality
logistical support to tourism in the future.
This paper provides a further contribution to
research on the relationship between transport and
tourism. The paper summarises the most important
roles played by transport in tourism, analyses the
relationship between individual modes of transport
and tourism, evaluates the favourable geographic
position of the Republic of Croatia through an overview of the network of European corridors,
and, on the basis of statistical data, analyses the
perception of tourists visiting Croatia with regard
to the role and quality of transport in their tourism
activities. In conclusion, a brief overview of future
trends in transport is provided through an analysis
of the defined strategic lines of transport
development as a function of Croatian tourism
