摘要

This paper examines the modelling of the development of small tourist ship operation. Based on the evaluation of development factors, their quantifications have been given. The research has provided direct growth rates of a new model for the development of small ship operators who offer cruising and one-day trips in the Republic of Croatia through the period of 2006 - 2015. This model contributes to the multi-disciplinary research of the development of small ship operators engaged in cruising and one-day trips in Croatia, and there is a possibility of its practical implementation.
