Creative tourism as a practice or even a concept is not really detectable in either case. In Dubrovnik, the very few creative tourism initiatives slowly emerge underneath dominant forms of mass tourism, including cultural and heritage tourism. Dubrovnik is a well-known tourist destination and as such local economic development and overall urban development rely on income from tourism industry. This has caused a widespread exploitation of cultural and natural resources which has been known to have a negative impact on local development. Consequently, Dubrovnik, as a environment is not receptive to new forms of tourism.
