Description
1. INTRODUCTION Attractions have been viewed by many as central to the tourism process. They are often the reason for visiting a particular destination (Richards, 2002). Strategies and program of tourism based on cultural-historical heritage is relatively new throughout the World. Cultural tourism is the fastest growing market in Europe, although empirical arguments are rare. Culture is becoming the basis for the "economy of experience", and cultural tourism its major part (Richards, 2002). Every destination is unique in its own way, and this uniqueness is what attracts tourists. Tourism based on the cultural and historical heritage is an excellent way to put history and art in the middle of the economic growth of a destination (Brook, 2000). Active participation of tourists in cultural programs, i.e. a creative component of a cultural tourist offer is an extremely interesting segment of a tourist offer. The programs to include cultural and historical heritage into a tourist offer should help some Croatian areas in developing new destinations or in improving existing environmental characteristics and cultural destinations. Unfortunately, in the Republic of Croatia this does not still gain enough attention. The aim of this paper is to point out to the possibilities of the development of cultural and creative tourism on Peljesac peninsula, in the place called Nakovana, whose extraordinary cultural potential has not yet been evaluated from the tourism angle.
