Abstract
The book deals broadly with planning and tourism development from the perspective of national tourism policy, development of tools for decision making, and implications of policy decisions on product development. Improving destination competitiveness, crafting a national destination image, responding to destination management challenges, and fashioning a destination image in the context of extreme political changes are just some of the issues addressed in the book. The context is Croatia, a major Adriatic tourism destination. Croatia is experiencing a rapid political and economic transition common to many countries worldwide experiencing significant socio-political and economic shifts.
