When a country of relatively small proportions in terms of territory finds itself in a position to become a leading player in the global market of prestigious branch of tourism such as yachting tourism, then the question arises how to deal with it. The appearance of such an attribute with Croatian name such as the number one destination is certainly a substantial advantage in promoting the nautical tourism. In fact, along with Croatia in the world race for the most desirable nautical destination to compete many other countries, especially those in the Mediterranean such as Greece and Italy, and every advantage should be wisely used. But is this strategic advantage in the marketing field, well used? Professionalism of Croatian tourism promoters is out of the question, but not once politics is entwined in the business of experts correcting omissions allegedly committed. We can still remember not so long ago the impact of the politics on the promotion of tourism and the withdrawal of advertising material which delighted the male part of the tourist segment interested in coming to Croatia. We hope that the current government has a broader and more liberal views on all aspects of promotion that global connection in the world competing for a large part of the tourism pie imposes. On the other hand, the title of the world's best destinations nautical tourism is a huge commitment. Each nautical tourists either entering their boat or chartering a boat in Croatia will require Impeccability in providing of all services. It is known that Croatia is rich in natural beauty and it is largely the reason for its high positioning in the rankings nautical destination. But we also know that Croatia is not yet a rich and developed country that does not have problems with investments. Like everything in nautical segment, and investment in infrastructure are expensive. Croatia does not have a problem with a part of nautical offer in the sector charter. Boat has enough and properly distributed along the coast. To read more about it click for charter ... For boaters who come to Croatia with their crafts there are still problems. Specifically, the number of boats in a marina in recent years has increased so much that it reached maximum capacity marina. Now we return to the problem of new and expensive investment primarily in new berths in marinas to receive a growing number of charter boats. According to the latest development plans it appears that Croatia has successfully solved the problem of financial structure and will soon expand the capacity of the existing marina, as well as build new ones. However, we should bear in mind that you do not become the most desirable destination in a way to build a large number of marinas or increase the number of vessels on offer. There is a thin line between complete infrastructure stability and excessive construction that needs to be seen before it's too late. The young Croatian state should determine its path of development of tourism. One way is mass tourism and the construction of facilities that might be available to a wide number of visitors. Another way is elite tourism and differentiation of guests by leveling the prices. Perhaps none of them are not solely for themselves, and long-term solution should be sought in a combination of both. However, we hope that most parts of Croatian coast will remain pure and tempting to cruise among the islands and sunny secluded coves.
