4 Sustainable development (political definitions) Meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. (Brundtland) Improving the quality of life within the limits of carrying capacities of ecosystems. (Claude Martin, WWF)

7 Dubrovnik long history and international visibility since the Classical Roman period and through famous medieval Republic The Icon of Croatian tourism UNESCO site Very rich: -Biodiversity -Landscape -Heritage Population 48.795

8 Trends (?): more cruise tourists, less stay, less … 2001 to 2009 cruising tourists increased 5 x 989.272 passengers on the average have spent 1,68 days in Croatia (2009) Comparing 2009 to 2008, number of: -cruise arrivals have decreased by 8,3% -total days spent have decreased by 19,4% -total number of passengers increased by 5,3%.

11 Direct pollution cost assesment H. Carić Direct pollution cost assessment of cruising tourism in the Croatian Adriatic Financial Theory and Practice 34 (2) 161-180 (2010) www.ijf.hr/eng/FTP/2010/2/caric.pdf Poor environmental management practice of cruise companies and authorities in implementation of legislation make pollution from cruisers NEGATIVE EKSTERNALITY

13 Direct pollution costs (DPC) for cruising tourism in 2009 based on EU prices of environmental management charges. All pollution loads are negative externalities, meaning that pollution is not properly treated and subsequently has an effect on the environment (Carić, 2010). Pollution typeDPC (EU)UnitDPC for Cro.

14 Cost benefit analysis (financial) Direct pollution costs (DPC) Total calculated income for Croatian economy from cruising tourism in 2009 was 53 mil. max. DPC for Cro. Adriatic DPC for Dubrovnik 390 mil 328 mil

22 Sustainable development Exploatation < Regeneration

23 Local community Heritage (cultural, historic, traditional, ethical) Business Politics ENVIRONMENT Sustainable development (human systems vs. environment)

24 Local community Heritage Business Politics Process to develop synergy between human systems to contribute harmony with environment ENVIRONMENT

25 Local community Heritage Business Politics ENVIRONMENT Social, personal responsibility For environment responsibility for standard of living How to develop genuine responsibility in the world of individualism and opportunism …How to define responsibility, the meaning?

26 What is responsibility ? Every decision significant for tribe needs to consider impact on seven unborn generations. Lakota Sioux Is this too wise for us?

28 S / R development in practice = quality care (protection of heritage) + income generation (responsible use for profit) + public benefit (especially local community) Heritage for development and development for heritage

29 Heritage - natural - traditional - historic - cultural Heritage is comparative advantage for local sustainable development, renewable.
