In response to the classic tourist offers, selective tourism appeared. By creating as many forms of selective tourism as possible, the circle of tourists who will find themselves in one of the forms of selective tourism on the basis of which they choose a tourist destination expands. By investing and focused long-term planning in certain forms of selective tourism, the offer is expanded, and thus the income. Croatia, as a country with favorable geolocation and climatic conditions, has the potential to create a diverse selective offer that can attract all age groups and satisfy demanding tourists. The paper will discuss the phenomenon of selective tourism, which are all selective forms of tourism and their explanations, and will discuss the most common forms of selective tourism in Croatia. The purpose and goal of the paper is to show the importance of recognizing tourist demand and to compete with remote tourist locations.
