Cycling is a specific form of tourism with the greatest promise of development, with a projected increase of more than 10 % over the next ten years. Trends in cycling tourism point to a constant increase in demand of modern consumers for active holidays. Croatia has many comparative advantages for the development of cycling tourism, so the aim is to become one of the leading Mediterranean cyclotourist destinations. The main obstacles to better development of cycling tourism in Croatia are lack of basic cyclotourist infrastructure, a small number of bike paths and lanes, poor maintenance and tracing routes, and their incoherence. In addition, the problem is that most of the route is reduced only to their marking on roads that are often used for an intense traffic of motor vehicles, and many routes are passing unsurfaced roads and paths suitable for mountain bikes. The development of cycle tourism is also limited by the insufficient accommodation and catering facilities, poor supporting infrastructure, unfurnished attractions and insufficient promotion.
