Since the 1980s, there is a growing interest in forms of tourism close to nature and individual experience (ecotourism), as a reaction to the excessive development of mass tourism. In the attempt to enrich the coastal tourist offer with competitive and within global framework innovative products in the beginning of the 21st century the valorisation of lighthouses in Croatia started. The idea of evaluating lighthouses as tourist accommodation facilities virtually opens the possibility of financial self-preservation of cultural heritage monuments. It is known that many European castles and palaces are not involved in the tourist offer only as a cultural attraction but also as luxury accommodation facilities so that, by analogy, lighthouses can be saved from decay in a similar way. The purpose of this research is to analyse lighthouses that are protected as cultural heritage monuments in Croatia, Italy and Slovenian (Northern Adriatic region), to determine if their cultural and historical value could become devaluated because of their integration in the tourism offer. Based on the qualitative methodological approach, holistic, natural, environmental, cultural and ecological factors were taken into account in the period before and after selected lighthouses were subjected to tourism activities in order to determine possible effects on the devaluation process in regards to integration into a successful tourism product. The research will thus show if the integration of lighthouses in the tourism offer is contributing to the process of lighthouse preservation and restoration in the Northern Adriatic or are lighthouses in the region considered only as individual tourism accommodations that do not preserve the value of a cultural heritage monument that they represent. |
