äs a whole, and especially the forestry of the coastal areas of Yugoslavia make
significant encroachments into the technologies and objectives of the management
of coastal forests in order to do business in an as rapid, satisfactory and rational
manner as possible, and to render adequate services to the tourist industry. The
classical silvicultural systems intended for the timber production are no more
profitable, but profitable are the creation, maintenance and careful protection of
forests round hotels and other tourist facilities, round the main higways, camping
sites and settlements and other facilities of general and special interest being built
or under construction in the region of coastal forests.


Only during September of 1969, the SR of Croatia was visited by more than
5,000.000 foreign tourists from 25 countries and all continents, and in some tourist
places there stayed daily during the tourist season 10—15 times more domestic and
foreign tourists than the number of inhabitants. Under such conditions, of course,
every tree, every grove and especially forest stand has inestimable values, the more
so whem they represent sites suitabl for tourist earning and parking bots. In 1966,
w calculated that 1 ha of 40-ye -old Alepo-Pine stand yields through the camping
tourism about 270 times higher profits than is given by the same stand by the
value of the yearly volume increment of its growing stock.


In another place it was also found that a 45-year-old Aleppo-Pine stand had
from the touristeconomic standpoint a value up to 47 times higher per unit of area
than if the same stand was considered from the forest-economic standpoint (when
it is assessed by the value of assortments constituting its usable volume and the
standard stumpage price of the assortments).


Hence the need to care for such forests, to respect the requirements for their
special treatment, and to alter the up-to-present traditional goal of management.
