Abstract

The geopolitical situation in Croatia after the civil war of the early 90s of the twentieth century contributed to a significant decline of tourism. History shows that a country where were military operations can effectively use given them a chance and develop the tourist offer with the transport infrastructure which is essential for realizing tourist function. The aim of the paper is to present the differences of transport accessibility of tourist regions on the Croatian coastline in by road transport as a main type of transport which is affecting the tourism movement in that country (Kruczek, Sacha, 1996). Great importance for the volume of air transport has a road transport where the average time needed for the trip from Poland to Croatian tourist regions is approximately 14 hours. In the case of road transport it’s hard to talk about the implementation of one of the traffic demands about traffic safety because of loss of concentration which is accompanying to long drive (Bentkowska-Senator, Kordel, 2008). On the other hand directness and relative cheapness of using road transport in relation to air transport are the main determinants of choice this mode of transport (Serafin, 2015). However, in the case of coach transport we can talk about the implementation of multitude postulate whose implementation in the case of air transport and the car transport is impossible (Pawlicka, 1978; Milewski, 2012).
