Lovran as a tourist destination can become KeyAccepted words: 28 November 2018 distinctive only to the extent to which it can provide services and facilities capable of satisfying the travel needs and motivations of tourists. When designing an experience system, the destination is generally in the focus of interest. This paper, however, takes a closer look at the thematization of Beaches beaches that are a part of Lovran’s tourism offering. Previous tourism development in Lovran has first Tourism and foremost been centred on the summer months when the sun, sea and beaches are the primary Beach thematization motivation for tourist arrivals. Creative offering Lovran as a tourist destination, together with its beaches, provides opportunities that have yet to Lovran be fully valorised with regard to implementing the experience system in beaches. In this respect, the paper aims to highlight the need for beach thematization. Beach thematization is carried out in accordance with the vision of the destination to ensure the optimal distribution of bathers and to satisfy their preferences. A new classification of beaches is made according to the Bathing Area Registration and Evaluation (BARE) system, which is adjusted to the needs of the market. The BARE system categorises beaches based on their accessibility and coastal scenery. The purpose of the paper is to analyse beaches in Lovran and, in accordance with a beach’s potential, to propose a theme (eco beach, romantic beach, beach for families with children, etc.) for each one, based on the Regional Program for the Adaptation and Management of Seaside Beaches in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County. The authors conclude that beaches have a primary importance for most tourists as well as residents, making it essential to respect their physical, social and ecological carrying capacities. 1 Introduction Department of Sea and Soil Protection within the Ministry of Environmental Protection, Physical Planning and Although Croatia has an exceptionally long and rich Construction.

The town of Mali Lošinj (Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia) in this period based its economy on non-industrial sectors. The study goal was comparing mortality characteristics of these populations in the northern Mediterranean for 1960–2012. An ecological study design was used. Data were analysed for 1960–2012 for the deceased with recorded place of residence in the study area. Data on the deceased for 1960–1993 were taken from death reports, for 1994–2012 from digital archives of the Teaching Institute of Public Health, Primorje-Gorski Kotar County.

In its hinterland is the green stretch Valbiska of what is known as the mountainous Croatia that separates the coast from the interior.

Merag Stara Baška Suffice it to say that the Kvarner islands of Krk, Cres and Lošinj alone boast over 1300 types of plants - which is more than can be found in some of the European countries. The supply of tourist facilities, opportunities and programmes is just as wide ranging and varied. To put it into a nut shell - on small scale, Lubenice Kvarner encompasses the immense biological diversity that Croatia brings to Europe. CRES The world of fauna includes many rare and protected species: griffon vulture, eagles, falcon, hawk, grouse, owls, numerous specie of water fowl; brown bear, wolf, lynx, jackal, wild cat, badger, fox, deer, chamois, mouflon, pine and stone marten can be found in the dense forests of Gorski kotar, alonge the mainland Osor shore and on the islands.
