Cultural heritage preservation and tourism in Croatia

Overview

Discussions regarding cultural heritage preservation and its integration with tourism have emerged across Croatia and neighboring regions. In Zadar, debates have surfaced concerning the preservation of historical toponyms and whether names of foreign origin should be replaced with native Croatian terms. Concurrently, efforts in Ostros have focused on documenting dry stone walls as vital cultural heritage through new photographic documentation.

Expanding on these themes, archaeological experts have convened to discuss the history of regional stone sculptures and the role of scientific research in public education. Recent initiatives have also emphasized the economic potential of heritage, exploring how connecting cultural and natural sites—such as the proposed ‘Nobility Route’ and ‘Camino Nobilis’—can drive sustainable tourism and involve local communities.
