In the context of sustainable development, energy consumption reduction and energy efficiency improvement are recognized as global priorities. International tourist arrivals are increasing year by year, and tourism is recording increases in energy consumption. However, tourism needs to recognize its role in sustainable development, and make a significant contribution by using renewable energy and energy efficient technologies. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to analyze the relationship between tourist overnight stays and energy consumption in the service sector in the 10 EU countries that achieved the highest number of overnight stays. The survey covers a period of 19 years, from 2000 to 2018. Panel data analysis is used to observe the relationship between these two variables across time, based on random effects. The results show that there is a correlation between tourism overnights stays and energy consumption in the service sector, and that energy consumption is changing with the increase in tourist overnight stays. The results of the analysis indicate the need to enhance energy efficiency as well as encourage the use of energy from renewable sources in order to enable the sustainable development of economic and ecological systems. The empirical findings of this study can provide guidance on energy management to private entities and tourism policy makers in the EU. ; U kontekstu održivog razvoja, smanjenje potrošnje energije i poboljšanje energetske učinkovitosti prepoznati su kao globalni prioriteti. Međunarodni turistički dolasci povećavaju se iz godine u godinu, a turizam bilježi porast potrošnje energije. Međutim, turizam mora prepoznati svoju ulogu u održivom razvoju i dati značajan doprinos korištenjem obnovljivih izvora energije i energetski učinkovite tehnologije. Stoga je cilj ovog rada analizirati odnos između turističkih noćenja i potrošnje energije u uslužnom sektoru u 10 zemalja Europske Unije koje su ostvarile najveći broj noćenja. Istraživanje obuhvaća razdoblje od 19 godina, od 2000. do ...

Istraživanje obuhvaća razdoblje od 19 godina, od 2000. do 2018. Koristi se panel analiza podataka koja proučava povezanost varijabli kroz vrijeme, na temelju metode random efekta. Rezultati pokazuju da postoji povezanost turističkih noćenja i potrošnje energije u uslužnom sektoru, te da se potrošnja energije mijenja s porastom turističkih noćenja. Na temelju provedene analize, nameće se potreba za povećanjem energetske efikasnosti kao i primjenom energije iz obnovljivih izvora kako bi se omogućio održivi razvoj gospodarskog i ekološkog sustava. Empirijski nalazi u ovoj studiji mogu pružiti smjernice upravljanja energijom privatnim i javnim nositeljima turističke politike u EU i Hrvatskoj. ; In the context of sustainable development, energy consumption reduction and energy efficiency improvement are recognized as global priorities.

According to the European Agenda for Culture, cultural and creative industries can contribute towards the transformation of the economy; they can become a tool for promoting the sustainable development of European Union cities. Many cities and regions possess huge potential for local and regional development due to the spill-over effects on the broader economy. This paper aims to examine the way the analysed European cities design models to manage their cultural and creative resources for the purpose of generating new investment opportunities. The authors identify the potential and opportunities in selected European cities alongside the participation of citizens as representatives of diverse spheres of interest. The paper deals with the issue of how to unlock the potential that the art and culture of cities have. For research purposes, in-depth interviews were conducted with key stakeholders of the cultural and creative sector of Rijeka. Citizens benefit from and participate in creating the local economy, with the aim of building a unique identity of cities based on which targeted investments will be made to ensure development, economic growth and new jobs. As the new economies of the twenty-first century are based on knowledge and "clean industries", the paper's authors put forward for Rijeka a series of measures focused on cultural and creative industries. In conclusion, cities are key places for the development of cultural and creative industries and the growth of these industries can be expected to fuel further development in the economic and the tourism sector. ; Prema Europskom programu za kulturu, kulturne i kreativne industrije mogu doprinijeti transformaciji gospodarstva, odnosno postati alat za promoviranje održivog razvoja gradova Europske unije. Mnogi gradovi i regije posjeduju izniman potencijal za lokalni i regionalni razvoj uslijed spill-over efekta na širu ekonomiju. Cilj rada je istražiti na koji način analizirani europski gradovi osmišljavaju modele upravljanja kulturnim i kreativnim resursima gradova, radi stvaranja novih prilika za ulaganja. Autorice identificiraju potencijale i prilike u odabranim gradovima Europe, uz participaciju građana kao predstavnika različitih interesnih sfera. Rad se bavi pitanjima kako iskoristiti potencijal koji nudi kultura i umjetnost svakog grada te je za potrebe istraživanja vođen dubinski intervju sa ključnim dionicima kulturnog i kreativnog sektora grada Rijeke. Građani imaju koristi i sudjeluju u stvaranju lokalne ekonomije, a u cilju kreiranja jedinstvenog identiteta gradova na temelju kojeg će se vršiti fokusirana ulaganja u razvoj, za ekonomski rast i radna mjesta. Nove ekonomije 21. stoljeća temelje se na znanju i "čistim industrijama ", te autorice predlažu niz mjera za grad Rijeku u smjeru kulturnih i kreativnih industrija. Zaključuje se da su gradovi ključna mjesta za razvoj kulturnih i kreativnih industrija te se uslijed njihova razvoja očekuje daljnji razvoj u gospodarskom odnosno turističkom sektoru.
