The Strategy encompasses three broad sections covering an analysis of the internal and external environments, tourism vision, goals and development concept, as well as implementation activities. Based on 'balanced development' as a desirable tourism development scenario on Island Krk, the vision statement emphasizes operations throughout most of the year, diversification of target segments and tourism products, large variety of services and family owned businesses as points of differentiation and the position of Island Krk as the 'sustainability champion'.
