Tourism and the Croatian economy - THG

Project details:
Starting from the resource-based development perspective, the project aims to improve the methodological framework for assessment of the tourism contribution to the economy at the national and regional level. Based on the approach of national accounting and the tourism satellite account, the project develops methods of measuring specific aspects of tourism activity from the perspective of tourism products or tourism service providers. The special focus of the project is related to human capital. The project analyzes the labor market from the perspective of tourism activities and the relationship between motivation factors for employment and workplace satisfaction in the hospitality industry. In addition to stochastic methods used in labor market analysis, the research of value chains of tourism activities, primarily the relation between tourism and agriculture in global value chains, is based on deterministic methods such as input-output analysis.
