Abstract
Overtourism is the term from 60s popularly used today to express negative effects of overcrowding of touristic destinations. Croatia is a country very dependent on tourism, and Dubrovnik is the most popular touristic city suffering from overtourism, threatened to become profit-thirsty resort. Since there has been a lot of media attention to this problem, this paper focuses on strategies and perceptions of the businesses in the Old Town of Dubrovnik on the current situation and the future. Survey of 30 businesses investigates their business strategies and thoughts on the proposed limitation on visitors to the Old Town. The survey confirmed they are operating in the mass market, and focus on premium pricing. It revealed there could be a major impacts on the businesses if the city limits the number of tourists. However, since many of them have been in the Old Town for more than a decade, people do not actually believe these measures would ever be implemented – that anything would change.
