Presentation of the project “Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism: Examples of the islands of Hvar and Brač“ in Povlja on the island of Brač

Jelena Zlatar Gamberožić will be presenting the project titled “Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism: Examples of selected mid-Dalmatian islands of Hvar and Brač“ in the Povlja Gallery on the island of Brač, on 17 June 2023.

The project is a continuation of the research on the topic of tourism development on islands, and it relies on previously conducted case studies of various settlements on the islands of Hvar and Brač. The explorations of tourism determinants aimed to analyse various types of developments in these settlements, from mass tourism (Bol and Hvar) over sustainable tourism (Postira) to stagnation (Povlja).

The specificity of this research is the analysis of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism, especially in the years that were mostly affected by the pandemic (2020 and 2021).
