The Croatian Littoral has been the most important tourist destination for tourists from Slovenia for decades. The coastal areas of Istria, Kvarner, and Dalmatia, including the Adriatic islands, became widely popular among Slovenes in the period of intense tourism development in the once common state of Yugoslavia. Today Croatia is the destination of as many as 60% of all private trips from Slovenia. In the introduction the affinity of Slovene tourists for travel abroad is supplemented with statistical data on their visits to the Republic of Croatia. In the next sections special emphasis is placed on the number of Slovene tourists and overnight stays, their average length of stay and spatial distribution in the Croatian Littoral in 2007. These data are then compared to those from 1999. The central section of the article consists of a detailed analysis of the content of the internet tourism offer of Slovene travel agencies as presented on their websites. The objects of the analysis were the structure of advertised destinations in the Croatian Littoral across counties and the structure of offer by type of tourist services (summer vacation, travelling/trip, cruising).

This chapter discusses different management approaches and recommendations for administration of protected areas, where tourism is recognised as one of the most important management challenges-depending on the situation, it can be either a curse or a blessing. Therefore, the goal of this chapter is to compare methods of management of protected areas in Croatia and Slovenia, with an emphasis on tourism. The systems of administering protected areas in both countries show some similarities, but also have major differences. In Slovenia, the system is relatively decentralised, especially for protected areas that are of a lower category of protection. This is the result of a bottom-up approach. In Croatia, the top-down approach, mainly characterised by centralised management, prevails-especially in the case of management of national parks and nature parks. Differences in management approaches influence the level to which a given protected area is included in the tourism supply, which is consequentially reflected in forms of tourism as well as differential spatial influences.
