Therefore, it is crucial that the mutual relationship between sport and tourism and sustainability is understood. As sustainability takes the approach of balancing the needs of today with those of the future, it is important to be aware of the impact that sport and tourism have not only on the external environment and the conservation of natural resources but on economics and social (cultural) well-being as well. This publication is the result of a scientific conference Sport Tourism: Red, Green and Blue Strategies (STC'16) held on April 6 to 8, 2016 at the Faculty of Economics, University of Zagreb, Croatia. This “red, green, blue” approach of sport tourism encompasses three strategic orientations of today`s tourism activities taking into account its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, and the environment and host communities. In the scope of Red Strategy development, sport tourism developed quickly with mostly one purpose: how to get as much money as possible, without taking care of the environment. As an answer on a Red Strategies and lack of care for nature and local people, appeared the idea of Green strategies. They promote economic growth while reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, thereby minimizing waste and inefficient use of natural resources, and maintaining biodiversity. The Blue strategies are focused on a life without polluting. Thirty-one high quality papers included in this publication address a number of issues raised above. They represent both theoretical and practical approaches to the study of complex area of sport, tourism and sustainability. In such a way, the publication has become an inevitable source in writing scientific works, bringing answers to many questions and highlighting further trends and perspectives of sustainable development that can be attributed to sport tourism.

A greater number of visitors generate greater consumption, which ultimately leads to positive economic benefits for the host region. Consequently, cities and countries compete for the right to host these events, being aware of the significance of the well-targeted promotional activities. The sports event promotion is a key factor when it comes to the number of tickets sold. It also directly contributes to the event's brand and influences attendance rates, its media representation and brand exposure. To that end, the purpose of this paper is to analyse the promotional campaign of FIBA EuroBasket 2015. Although the competition took place in four different countries, namely, Croatia, France, Germany, and Latvia, this paper focuses only on the elements of the sports promotional mix applied in the Croatian part of EuroBasket 2015. Specifically, it conducts a qualitative case study of the overall promotion and - 1 - the individual elements of the sports promotional mix for that competition. The results show that six out of seven elements of the sports promotional mix were included in the event’s general promotion - advertising, publicity, personal contact, incentives, atmospherics and sponsorship. The element found lacking was licensing. The study gives managers a valuable insight into (in) effective management of sports events promotion and the individual elements of the promotional mix. Key words: Croatia, FIBA EuroBasket 2015, major sports events, promotion, sports promotional mix 1. Introduction Major
