Dadi\u0107 pointed out that associations in Croatia represent the dominant form of non-profit organizations, but also that (in Croatia)\u00a0funds from ministries and from the budget of local self-government units dominant sources of financing of associations<\/strong>. Dependence on public sector funds is a problem considering the trend of decreasing public funds for the activities of associations, which is why\u00a0Dadi\u0107 sees opportunities for new sources of financing for associations in the creation of products and services intended for tourists<\/strong>, which initiates self-financing of associations. She pointed out that the impact of associations on tourism can be\u00a0direct<\/strong>\u00a0(such as the organisation of festivals or courses, or the production of souvenirs or autochthonous products) and\u00a0indirect<\/strong>\u00a0(such as maintaining the cleanliness of the environment or revitalizing neglected areas), and in both cases associations can significantly contribute to the development of a tourist destination and the improvement of its tourist offer. There is also a great importance here.\u00a0Tourist boards that can encourage or support associations<\/strong>\u00a0to start (or continue) engaging in tourism activities, especially those indirect ones where associations do not directly benefit from tourism (but nevertheless enrich the value of a tourist destination, such as sea cleaning actions, etc.).<\/p>\n

Thirty interested listeners followed the results with interest\u00a0research conducted by Dadi\u0107 on 150 associations<\/strong>\u00a0in four major tourist destinations in Croatia (Dubrovnik, Pore\u010d, Rovinj, Medulin) in the first half of 2018. The research has shown that, even in these most active tourist destinations, associations rely primarily on public funding, while\u00a0self-financing<\/strong>\u00a0(sales of own products and services)\u00a0It accounts for just over a fifth of income.<\/strong>\u00a0Associations in these areas. The research has shown that activities that directly affect tourism are mostly carried out by associations in the field of culture and art, sports and sustainable development, while those that indirectly affect tourism are mostly carried out by associations in the field of sports, environmental and nature protection and sustainable development.<\/p>\n

After a quality lecture and presentation of the results of the research, there was a long discussion with many interesting questions and comments, and there was talk about\u00a0Numerous examples of good and bad practice<\/strong>, and on the comparison of the funding of associations abroad and in Croatia. Organizers from the Cultural Front Association, the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Rijeka and Amadria Park Hotel expressed great satisfaction with the progress of the project and the interest of the participants, and announced new activities that await us before the summer break.<\/p>\n
