Sažetak:

Promicanje tradicije, običaja, lokalnih događanja, gastronomije, kulturne baštine, autohtonih
sela, obiteljskih gospodarstava, prikaza tradicionalnog života na selu, održivog korištenja prirodnih
resursa kao i očuvanje lokalnog identiteta okosnica su razvoja turizma u kontinentalnom dijelu.
Promotivne aktivnosti imaju ključnu ulogu u stvaranju prepoznatljivog imidža određene destinacije,
a jedna od glavnih zadaća je informirati i utjecati na stvaranje pozitivnih preferencija te utjecati na
potražnju za određenom destinacijom odnosno uslugom. Uz samu ponudu određene destinacije ključnu
ulogu na stvaranje doživljaja imaju ljudi odnosno pružena usluga koja je temelj za izgradnju emotivne
(doživljajne) komponente putovanja i pozicioniranje određene turističke ponude na turističkom tržištu.
U radu su prikazani rezultati istraživanja u Republici Hrvatskoj o motivima odabira odmora u kontinentalnom
dijelu, načinu dobivanja informacija, dužini boravka kao i zadovoljstvu posjetitelja turističkom
ponudom i uslugom.

Ključne riječi:

Promocija, Turistička destinacija, Pozicioniranje, Kontinentalni turizam, Republika

Abstract:

Promoting traditions, customs, local events, gastronomy, cultural heritage, indigenous villages,
family farms, depicting traditional rural life, sustainable use of natural resources, and preserving
local identity are the backbone of tourism development in the continental region.
Promotional activities play a key role in creating a recognizable image of a particular destination, and one of
its main tasks is to inform and influence the creation of positive preferences and to influence the demand for
a particular destination or service. Along with the offer of a particular destination, the key role in creating
an experience is played by the people, in other words the service provided, which is the basis for building the
emotional (experiential) component of travel and positioning a particular tourist offer in the tourist market.
The paper presents the results of the research in the Republic of Croatia on the motives for choosing
a vacation in the continental part, methods of obtaining information, length of stay, as well as visitor’s
satisfaction with the tourist offer and service.

Keywords:

Promotion, Tourist destination, Positioning, Continental tourism, Republic of Croatia.
