THE IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM IN SOUTH CROATIA IN THE BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY Marija BENI PENAVA1 Marija GJURAŠI2 University of Dubrovnik, 29 Branitelja Dubrovnika, 20000 Dubrovnik, CROATIA University of Dubrovnik, 29 Branitelja Dubrovnika, 20000 Dubrovnik, CROATIA * Marija Beni Penava; E-mail: [email protected]; phone: +385 20445934 Abstract — This paper analyses, using archive records and relevant literature, the application of technological advances in transport and tourism in South Croatia in the period that preceded cruisers with thousands of passengers, mass air transport, as well as the usage of computers reservation systems and credit cards that are used in tourism industry nowadays. Technology was intensively involved in the tourism industry in the past. The impacts of technology could be seen on the connectivity by railway as well as sea, land and air traffic. In addition to the mentioned factors of communicative tourism, its receptive factors – hotel industry, catering, marketing, cultural institutions, public services etc became more dependent on technologies in the interwar period. The connection between the advances in technology and the new growing service sector of tourism in the Croatian south was a prerequisite of the coming development of mass tourism. Therefore, the human need for rest, recreation and adventure while abandoning their permanent residence achieved its purpose – enjoyment and relaxation. Peripheral parts of the Croatian south outgrew into world tourist destinations due to the progress of both transport and communication technology in the first half of the 20th century. Keywords— technology, tourism, South Croatia, 20th century 1. INTRODUCTION The Republic of Croatia is oriented towards tourism development, it is a recognized and popular destination with a clear development strategy and vision of its future in tourism. -

HOTEL REMISENS PALACE 4*, Opatija The hotel is located only 1 minute on foot from the seafront. One of the most renowned hotels in Opatija, the Remisens Premium Grand Hotel Palace is set in a recently renovated Secession building, beautifully located along the main street facing the sea. In summer evenings you can enjoy themed dinners and musical events on the large hotel’s terrace. The rooms are decorated in pastel colours and are equipped with a flat-screen cable TV, AC, Wi-Fi… The hotel features a spa, wellness centre, indoor pool with heated seawater, a peaceful relaxation area, Finnish and Turkish saunas… A variety of massages and beauty treatments are available. The elegant, air- conditioned restaurant serves a buffet breakfast. The nearest pebble beach is only a 10-minute walk from the hotel. OPATIJA Opatija was the one of the first towns to develop tourism in Croatia and on the Adriatic Sea. Austrian secession architecture is the predominant building style, a reminder of the mid-19th century when the main visitors were the Central European upper class and political elite. Opatija still today remains a synonym for a stylish travel destination. We suggest a stroll on the Lungomare, a seaside promenade (the longest in Croatia with 12 km) connecting the fishing towns of Volosko and Lovran. -
Tourism and Fascism. Tourism Development on the Eastern Italian Border 99
Petra Kavrečič: Tourism and Fascism. Tourism Development on the Eastern Italian Border 99 1.02 Petra Kavrečič* Tourism and Fascism. Tourism Development on the Eastern Italian Border** IZVLEČEK TURIZEM IN FAŠIZEM. TURISTIČNI RAZVOJ NA ITALIJANSKI VZHODNI MEJI Prispevek se osredotoča na obravnavo turističnega razvoja nekdanje italijanske province Julijske krajine (Venezia Giulia). V ospredju zanimanja je torej obdobje med obema voj- nama. Območje, ki je predmet analize, predstavlja zanimivo študijo primera, ki še ni bila deležna zadostne historične znanstvene obravnave, vsaj glede področja turističnega razvoja. Zanima me raziskovanje povezave in povezanosti med političnim režimom in nacionalnim diskurzom s turistično panogo oziroma različnimi tipologijami turistične ponudbe. Kako se je posameznim turističnim destinacijam (»starim« ali »novim«) uspelo prilagoditi novim političnim razmeram, ki so nastopile po koncu prve svetovne vojne, in kako se je turizem razvijal v okviru totalitarnega sistema, v tem primeru fašizma. Pri tem bo predstavljena različna turistična ponudba obravnavanega območja.

Identity and Language Shift Among Vlashki/Zheyanski Speakers in Croatia1

Vlashki/Zheyanski is a severely endangered Eastern Romance language known in the linguistic literature as Istro-Romanian. In order to study the domains and frequency of use of the language and equally to examine speaker attitudes about language and iden- tity, we administered a questionnaire to speakers in both locations. Our sample included responses from individuals in four age groups. Our discussion here focuses on 16 men and women from the two older groups, 51–70 and 71-and- older. In Žejane, speakers saw knowledge of the language and family lineage as defining components of being a “real” member of the community. The name for the language, Zheyanski, comes from the village name. Hence, someone who speaks the language asserts that village belonging and village affiliation are at the core of speakers’ identity. In terms of national identification, whether Croatian, Italian, and/or Istrian, Zheyanski speakers by and large showed little enthusiasm for any of the three choices. -

Mihovila, Rudina – budućnost povijesnoga graditeljstva istraživanje i proučavanje samostanskih ostataka s motrišta zaštite graditeljske baštine sažetak U promišljanju budućnosti nekadašnjega samostanskog kompleksa sv. Mi- haela na Rudini, danas izuzetno važnog lokaliteta za hrvatsku kulturu, nai- lazimo na niz nedosljednosti u istraživanju koje su se godinama ponavljale. Istraživanja ili nije bilo ili su bila ograničena i, što je najvažnije, jako zakašnjela. Nužna je temeljita i interdisciplinarna analiza kako bi se što je kvalitetnije moguće odradilo daljnje istraživanje i, u konačnici, prezentacija. Integralni proces obrade graditeljske baštine koji se kao kompletiran sustav istražnih radova s različitih aspekata treba ovdje primijeniti jest upravo ono o čemu govore i arheolozi, i konzervatori, i povjesničari, i povjesničari umjetno- sti. Takvi radovi obuhvaćaju istraživanja, dokumentiranja i valorizaciju s gledi- šta svih pojedinačnih struka, da bi se u konačnici iznjedrile programske smjer- nice za rekonstrukciju, konzervaciju i prezentaciju samostanskoga kompleksa i okoliša. U radu je rekonstruiran samostanski kompleks na temelju dostupne građe te je analiziran tlocrt, pri čemu se pokazuje da samostan nije nastao slu- čajnom gradnjom već pomnim arhitektonskim i umjetničkim djelovanjem. S gledišta arhitekture, točnije zaštite graditeljske baštine, daje se niz prijed- loga koje bi bilo dobro uključiti u daljnje istraživačke procese. Ključne riječi: Rudina; samostan sv.
