Dubrovnik has gained international recognition for its strategic management of overtourism and its efforts to preserve historical heritage. The city is being highlighted by media outlets, including the BBC World Service, as a model for sustainable destination management. To mitigate tourist pressure, the city utilizes real-time data, artificial intelligence, and digital tools to manage visitor flows, alongside specific cruise ship management policies. A central component of this strategy is the ‘Respect the City’ project, which aims to balance tourism development with the quality of life for residents. To combat depopulation in the historic core, Dubrovnik has implemented urban policies such as the ‘Dubrovačka stanogradnja’ housing program. This initiative uses the city’s right of first refusal to renovate properties and provide affordable housing for young families, ensuring the local population can remain in the city. Recent reports continue to emphasize these successful sustainable tourism management and housing policies as part of a broader context of cultural and gastronomic activity within Croatia.
