On 3 November 2026, the workshop “Strengthening the Resilience of Tourism to Climate Change”, organised by the Ministry of Tourism and Sport, was held.
The workshop presented projects developed by the scientific and professional community aimed at strengthening the climate resilience of tourism in Croatia and beyond.
Researchers from the Institute for Tourism, Izidora Marković Vukadin, PhD, and Mira Zovko, PhD, presented three ongoing projects:
NaTour4CChange, a project implemented under the Interreg EURO-MED Programme
PACT-VIRA, a project funded by the Croatian Science Foundation
COMMITMENT, an internal research project funded by the EU NextGenerationEU programme.
The projects focus on mapping the impacts of climate change on tourism, local communities and their environmental resources, as well as on developing composite vulnerability and resilience indices. Particular emphasis is placed on developing concrete climate change adaptation measures and strengthening the resilience of tourism destinations.
The exchange of knowledge and experience between the scientific and professional communities represents an important step towards developing more resilient and sustainable tourism.
