Transport system as an element of sustainable economic growth in the tourist region



- acceptance of principles upon which the common transport EU policy is
based, when defining national transport policy in the Region;

- state stimulating those technical and technological modes that lead to higher
transport quality;

- definition of national strategy of safety in transport with detailed measures
for implementation;

- definition of national ecology strategy in which special attention will be
given to transport influence to nature and adequate protection measures;

- among these measures transport modes that maximal preserve nature have to
be chosen and further on by means of transport policy their implementation
stimulated;

- transport policy should be detailed, in order to pave the way to defined aim
fulfilment.

Besides all these, there is another very important task to be carefully examined-the
choice of methodology. Experience has shown that better results in a whole research can be
obtained with system approach application, which is always including the impact of
surrounding.

So, after having defined a Strategy of sustainable development of transport and
tourism for each country in the Adriatic region, all these concepts have to be harmonised and
act as a whole-the system of sustainable development of transport and tourism in the Adriatic
region. A common body, whose aim is to perform this task, should define the criteria for
optimisation, and after the application of system approach point out the priorities.

These priorities need not necessarily match completely the priorities in partial national
strategies of sustainable development. This fact is easily to understand if one bears in mind
the basic cognitions and principles of system approach, and should not be understood as an
obstacle but as a first step to a continuing process of harmonization.

5. CONCLUSION

Transport is an economical activity whose aim is to perform transfer of people and
goods by engaging specific labour devices and procedures. Economy development is totally
depending on transport, and among activities, which without transport cannot be organised;
the distinguished place is occupied by tourism.

According to UN statistics their share in GDP of most European countries as well as in
USA varies between 20 and 25 per cent. In tourism flows almost the most important role is
played by road transport whose share is about 41 per cent.

Transport makes accessible all tourism destinations even those most distant, enables
massive scale tourism, and high quality of transport services. At the same time, transport is
meritorious for devastation and pollution of nature, and nature is considered the most precious
resource of tourism development. The most distinguished place in nature devastation is played
by road transport, which leads to a question of its controlled development or some substutive
solutions especially in tourism regions.

The Adriatic region is well known for tourism, which is considered to be a most
important activity. It consists of countries that are very different among them according to the
level of economy development.

In order to optimise a system of economy development in the Adriatic region a
concept of sustainable development with special reference to transport and tourism has to be
defined. Taking into consideration the importance of tourism for the Region, the crucial
starting point is the harmonization of national transport systems with EU transport system.
