Krka National Park can be toured via the five official entrances, though visitation is primarily focused on the southern parts of the park, especially Skradinski Buk and the Lozovac and Skradin entrances. The remainder of the park is less well known or accessible (Manojlova\u010dki Slap, Brljan Lake, Burnum archaeological site, Krka Monastery and other individual sights) and there is little to no organised visitor reception at these sites, weakening the optimal tourism product.<\/p>
Krka National Park faces saturation of its southern section, which largely jeopardises the environment and quality of the experience. This project includes a broadly encompassing plan of infrastructure investments in tourism, visitor and educational content, intended to give tourism significance to the middle and upper course of the Krka River, and to relieve the burden on the most visited sights in the southern part of the park.<\/p>
Project implementation will complete the construction and refurbishment of the former military complex at Puljani into the Krka Eco-Campus visitor centre, and the construction of the nature interpretation centre \u201cKrka \u2013 Spring of Life\u201d at Kistanje. In addition to the construction and infrastructure works, and equipping each centre with content, the project also envisages the development of several walking trails and the procurement of two electric passenger boats, which will further contribute to opportunities to tour the middle and northern parts of the park.<\/p>
The exceptionally attractive visitor content at the Krka Eco-Campus and the Nature interpretation centre \u201cKrka \u2013 Spring of Life\u201d, with an active marketing campaign, has the potential to create a recognisable brand that surpasses the national borders. Insufficient evaluation of the natural heritage resources in this part of the national park will finally receive their tourism function, and together with this visitor content, will contribute to achieving the goals of the project and the invitation.<\/p>
The aim of the project is, in part, directed towards improving the socioeconomic situation in the underdeveloped inland regions of Dalmatinska Zagora (inland of \u0160ibenik-Knin Count and part of Zadar County). This region is characterised by numerous structural, economic and demographic issues, and an impoverished natural basis. The population is primarily engaged in subsistence agriculture that secures a meagre income. Though this region is aesthetically and ambiently conserved, the population to date has not succeeded in taking advantage of the strong tourism resources of the national park. However, certain progress has been noted, as seen in the official tourism statistics. This project envisages the development of the middle and northern parts of Krka National Park, which will increase the number of visitors and generate indirect economic effects. If the population is to recognise and take advantage of these effects, it will be possible to significantly improve their socioeconomic status. The project will influence new indirect employment and result in a more favourable economic situation in the project impact area. Increasing the number of visitors to these areas will also directly increase the number of overnight stays, the number of tourism packages and the increased consumption of hospitality and trade services. In order for these potential effects to be successfully used, workshops and education will be organisms within the project that will be specifically tailored to the target groups.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
