Diving tourism in Croatia

2008-11-14T03:47:00.000-08:00

Diving tourism in Croatia has been increasing in popularity 1996, following the cessation of war activities in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Annual growth in the number of tourists has been between 15 and 20%, and with it grew the number of professional diving centres organized in the near vicinity of the most attractive locations along the coastline, in order to enable divers from all over the world to abandon themselves to enjoying the Croatian submarine world, while at the same time being able to feel secure under professional supervision and with all the necessary safety measures in place. Today, the number of registered and licensed diving centres exceeds 100, with the largest number being located in Istria and Kvarner, and in the area of Central Dalmatia. Undoubtedly the most attractive diving locations in the Adriatic are underwater cliff faces and reefs, caves and the wrecks of ships and aeroplanes. The Croatian land mass ranks among the most specific in the world: Dalmatia itself lies on karst, full of crevices, caves, sink holes and channels. Based on the number of caves so far discovered on land it is estimated that there are at least 1500 underwater caves and holes still undiscovered in the Adriatic. In addition to plant and animal species endemic to the Adriatic, which are a highly sought-after target for photo and video safaris, the most attractive locations are those which conceal traces of times gone by: archaeological localities and underwater wrecks. The oldest localities containing the remains of sunken ships date from the times of Antiquity, and are to be found on the ancient trading routes leading from Greece towards northern Italy, and all the colonies founded along that route on the shores of the Adriatic: Cavtat (Epidaurus), Mljet (Meleda), Korcula ( Kokira), Hvar ( Pharos), Vis (Issa), Split (Asphalatos / Spalatum), Solin (Salona), Trogir (Tragurium), Rogoznica (Heracleia), anchorage sites in the Kornati archipelago (Zirje, Lavsa, Murter), the wider area of Sibenik and Zadar (Liburnia / Jadera), Pula (Pola), Roman villas on the Brijuni islands, and many other micro-locations once used by ancient mariners as refuges and anchorages. In the Middle Ages trades links between Italy and the Middle East intensified, Venice became a booming trading metropolis, towns along the Croatian littoral experience strong development (Dubrovnik, Split, Zadar, Pula); naval battles of the 19th and 20th centuries leave their traces on the sea bed. Since WWII many wrecks have been lifted from the bottom of the sea (particularly along the Istrian coast), but there remains a considerable number of wrecks available to sports divers. Those at greater depths are still biding their time, waiting to be discovered and researched. It is our desire to present all those special qualities to the world tourist market, particularly at nautical and diving fairs. This is why the Croatian National Tourist Board believes that a readily identifiable, attractive and exclusive approach to the promotion of diving tourism as a very young and promising, and highly specific branch of tourism, is very important indeed. Legislative regulation regarding underwater activities in Croatia is still in the phase of defining the final legal provisions, the aim being to regulate development of diving tourism in the most effective way, based on practice and application, while at the same time preserving the wealth of the Adriatic underwater world and to increase diving safety. According to current regulations it is possible to dive in Croatian waters if one has valid permission (annual diving identity card at a cost of 100 HRK per annum, and individual Permission for independent underwater activities, costing 2400 HRK per annum. Should tourist diving activity be planned in the registered diving centres (presented in this catalogue), then individual permission is not necessary. There are zones where diving is prohibited even with individual permission. These are those zones under special protection by the Ministry of Culture, and diving in those areas may be allowed but only when accompanied by a diving guide from an authorized diving centre. In other words, you can dive anywhere in the Adriatic provided that you are accompanied by a professional guide (diving guide or diving instructor) whose job is to take ensure your safety and to show you diving locations in a direct and informed way. Every professionally organized diving centre fulfils all the conditions required to make your diving trip a safe, interesting and unforgettable experience.

Tourism in the Mediterranean

2008-01-07T03:29:00.000-08:00

The Mediterranean Basin has an exceptionally rich range of natural and cultural values, the explanation for its tourist potential. The area is the world's main focus of tourist attraction. In 1996, this area received 175,726,000 international tourists, representing 30% of the tourists flow in the world. This tourist flow has clear repercussions in the Mediterranean's economy; about five million jobs and an income of more than 100,000 million dollars a year, representing - in the coastal strip - about 7% of the Gross Domestic Product.
Even so, tourism also has devastating affects on the coastal environment. Water pollution, soil erosion processes, degradation of the underwater flora and fauna, and especially landscape degradation are some of the clearest signs of a tourist model based on extensive growth and in indiscriminate use of land, far above the territory's carrying capacity. This tourist model is based on concentration in both space and in time. This concentration in space is because the tourist infrastructure is sited in the coastal strip, in a thin layer that ignores the adjacent inland areas. In fact, 75% of the tourist activity in the Mediterranean is concentrated in the four countries that are members of the European Union, and only 25% is generated in the rest of the Mediterranean Basin. It is concentrated in time, because the arrival of tourists is highly seasonal, peaking in the summer period, a fact that increases the impact on the environment and weakens the economic model of Mediterranean tourism. It is clear that most of the tourist spaces in the Mediterranean seem to have entered a structural crisis. In fact, year after year, the Mediterranean Basin is losing its capacity to attract tourists; though it is still the world's main tourist destination, in the last five years it has lost more than three percent of the world tourism market

The Mediterranean Sea is connected to the Atlantic ocean by the Strait of Gibraltar on the west and to the Sea of Marmara and the Black sea, by the Dardanelles and the Bosporus respectively, on the east. The Sea of Marmara is often considered a part of the Mediterranean Sea, whereas the Black Sea is generally not. The man-made Suez canal in the southeast connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red sea.
Large islands in the Mediterranean include Cyprus, Crete, Euboea, Rhodes, Lesbos, Chios, Kefalonia and Corfu in the eastern Mediterranean; Sardinia, Corsica, Sicily, and Malta in the central Mediterranean; and Ibiza, Majorca and Minorca (the Balearic Islands) in the western Mediterranean.
The mediterranean climate is generally one of wet winters and hot, dry summers. Crops of the region include olives, grapes, oranges, tangerines, and cork.

Tourism is vital for many countries, due to the income generated by the consumption of goods and services by tourists, the taxes levied on businesses in the tourism industry, and the opportunity for employment in the service industries associated with tourism.

Tourism in Mediterranean is a well-developed industry as country is an attractive tourist destination, particularly because of its extensive coastline and well-preserved coastal Renaissance towns. So, in 2005, Croatia had 10 million tourist visitors.

The interior of the country, with the exception of the capital Zagreb, Dubrovnik, Međugorje, Pula, the erstwhile Baroque capital Varaždin and a plethora of medieval castles, has fewer tourist attractions. Eight areas in the country have been designated national parks, and the landscape in these areas is afforded extra protection from development.
Several companies run flotillas of yashts along different stretches of the coastline, which is also popular with divers.
The country is currently being advertised under the motto The Mediterranean As It Once Was.
