The relatively new nautical market gave rise to a special kind of tourism. Nautical tourism as a system has the characteristics of a traffic system with all its peculiarities. Nautical tourism is steadily increasing. In countries nurturing this type of economic activity, nautical tourism has the characteristics of mass tourism. Nautical tourism is a complex system consisting of and using various forms of technical and technological processes. As such it is exposed to various risks. Therefore, this paper proposes a systematic approach to the development of safety measures in nautical tourism.

The density of navigation in the world waterways is considerable, especially because it is more profitable, when compared to other forms of transport. In this paper the authors propose new measures for security protection of inland waterways and of ships and ports in inland navigation. Because of various kinds of threats in inland waterways navigation it is proposed to develop the International Ship and Port facility Security Code (ISPS) code suited to such navigation. Therefore the working title of the document is proposed as International Ship and Port Facility Security Code in Inland Waterways (ISPSIW). KEY WORDS: safety, threats, protection, inland navigation

ABSTRACT

Abstract. Search and rescue on inland waterways are considered to be insu ciently developed. e methods of search and rescue have been developed only for sea waterways. Despite the possibilities of comparison, the speci c characteristics of inland waterways are the reason why it is seriously considered to develop proposals for search and rescue models on inland waterways. e authors of this paper suggest a search and rescue model for rivers, lakes and channels regarding con guration and the current safety conditions on inland waterways. e model allows a successful quest for reduced search time. In addition, the model predicts the performance of the search.
