摘要：Contemporary society needs to consider the ways of dealing with changes in production, consumption, human interactions, environmental protection and other social and economic activities. Therefore, it seems reasonable to determine how these changes can be placed into the right perspective and how they could affect the global balance in terms of sustainable development. The process of measuring sustainable development is highly complex as it requires managing both different indicators and different fi elds and putting them all in the same equation. The main purpose of this research is to examine if the sustainability within a destination can be measured and if so, which model of measurement is best suited. The chosen model has been tested on a destination in Croatia and the results indicate that there is a possibility to measure the stage of sustainable development in a destination, but the crucial component of the process to defi ne the appropriate indicators.
