Yugoslavia

Abstract

Argues that the institutional structure of Yugoslavia's tourism industry mirrors the growth of a distinctive variant of socialism, and can thereby highlight both idiosyncratic features of the Yugoslav system, and the more general characteristics of Eastern European centrally planned economies. Following a brief outline of statistical problems, the paper presents a detailed historical survey of the last 200 yr of tourism in Yugoslavia, concentrating on policy issues. The author then examines recent patterns of change, the implications of tourism for the environment, and the interactions of tourism with socialism. -after Author
