摘要:Golf has become one of the most developed and most popular sports today with an important role in global tourism. Every tourism destination which seeks to be recognised, which wants to adapt, and which pursues growth and development on the demanding tourism market has to invest in golf infrastructure and projects. Croatia has all the natural prerequisites for the development of golf and to become a globally recognisable golf region. This paper analyses golf as a factor of tourism development, considers its integration in the tourism offer, and discusses the justifiability of golf projects to improve and add quality to what Croatia has to offer in the field of tourism.
