in croatia PT.3

tourism from the italian and german, english and scandinavian parts of europe as well as from within croatia itself is booming in places.

there is antipathy towards some areas of the business.. the all-inclusive resorts with wrist band wearing clients who do little or nothing to feed the local area are reluctantly accepted.

tourism has the potential to be big business here, with so much coastline and crystal clear sea, yet i am told that any profit rarely filters down to people in the form of social benefits or improved infrastructure.

big business has moved in from richer countries and purchased many of the most profitable companies and some people have the opinion that there is little left for the croatians themselves..

i'm trying to say little at this time about discussions i'm having here for the simple reason this is the first week of 5, and in time more will become clear. for now i am just really enjoying the photography, the conversations and seeing where one thing and another will lead me.. easing into it gently.
