Since its inception, tourism has had a significant impact on humanity as a whole. In addition to the positive consequences for the space and people, its development also resulted in a significant number of negative consequences that came to the fore in the process of globalization. Namely, excessive visiting of certain areas, along with neglecting the basics of environmental protection, has resulted in its pollution, degradation and, in some segments, irreversible damage. The concept of sustainable development was developed with the aim of stopping the negative impacts of human activity on the environment, especially when it comes to coastal areas, which due to their characteristics are significantly more sensitive than others. In this regard, the principle of integrated management of the coastal area was developed, which, in addition to its purpose of reducing pressure on coastal areas, also affects the achievement of ecological and economic benefits from a sustainable way of managing the area in question.
