Adoption of foreign capital and its orientation onto the most advantageous directions, in order to guarantee both the successful development of Croatian tourism and gain profit for the potential investors, represents one of the crucial factors in stimulating the development of the entire Croatian economy with the particular impact on the development of tourism in Croatia. Consequently, special attention should be paid by the relevant Croatian economic organs to the possibilities of the obtainable economic development and to the positive ways of taking advantage of foreign capital in the social development and the employment of home population, and simultaneously avoiding speculative foreign capital which can cause great damage to the Croatian economic system.
