摘要：Sustainable eco-tourism as form of tourism produces benefits for the local community, while at the same time preserving the eco-system and local culture. It is suitable for rural areas with untouched natural resources and cultural heritage. Unfortunately, in the Republic of Croatia it has still not been used enough. The main problem is the absence of strategy to stimulate and initiate development in the potentially interesting destinations. The aim of the paper is to show possibilities for the development of sustainable eco tourism in the chosen areas of Dubrovačko primorje. An empirical research which includes semi-structural interviews with the local people has been made for this purpose.
