KREŠIMIR FILIĆ - PRVI VARAŽDINSKI VIZIONAR U TURIZMU
KREŠIMIR FILIĆ – VARAŽDIN’S FIRST TOURISM VISIONARY

Summary/Abstract: Whilst writing about tourism, Filić also wrote about cultural and historic heritage in the Croatian Zagorje Region. His descriptions of ruins, castles, manors and sacral buildings also included comments on their deteriorated condition or devastation and the irresponsible behaviour of contemporary authorities. When considering this heritage, Filić not only criticized their condition, which was caused by a lack of maintenance, but also proposed what should be done to make this heritage serve tourism and consequently improve the economy of the Croatian Zagorje Region. His ‘Guidebook’ is the first complete picture of the City of Varaždin presented from the point of view of tourism, and is of priceless value for today’s tour guides.
