Managing heritage and cultural tourism resources in Dubrovnik.

A sustainable development model for managing cultural tourism resources in Dubrovnik, Croatia, highlights the critical role of local stakeholder engagement in preserving UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The study identifies funding shortages and seasonal tourism fluctuations as major challenges for city authorities, while also noting the emergence of institutional networks that facilitate the interpretation and presentation of the Old City's cultural heritage. It further emphasizes the need to balance attention between central and peripheral cultural elements to ensure a more sustainable and inclusive tourism product.
