4. Visitor satisfaction with the park offer – Zadovoljstvo ponudom parka
In order to compare the results, the level of visitor satisfaction with the park offer was measured in the same way as in the survey (Marušić et all., 2007), where the examinees rated 26 elements of park offer from 1 (lowest mark) to 5 (highest mark) and 0 if they answered „I don’t know”. In this way it was possible to indicate the elements of tourist offer of the park to the visitors were very satisfying (advantage) and with which they were completely unsatisfied (disadvantage). The ranking was defined by the sum of averages for mark 4 (very good) and 5 (excellent). A very high level of satisfaction is achieved if the sum of very good and excellent ranks is higher than 80%, high level is achieved between 70% and 79,99%, medium level of satisfaction is achieved between 60% and 69,99%, low level of satisfaction is achieved between 50% and 59,99%, while all elements ranked lower than 50% are considered very low.
