Different aspects of infrastructure and recreational facilities can be considered as elements of tourism infrastructure that focuse more on providing preconditions for development, while recreational facilities are seen as a way to improve everyday life [5].…”

The development of rural communities has become a central issue developing lately. Various policies both at the national and local levels surfaced and placed the village's socioeconomic strengthening as the top priority of development. One policy that has implications for the socioeconomic dynamics of the community is the thematic kampong program in Semarang city, especially the Malon natural kampong. The purpose of this study was to find out: 1) the implementation of the Semarang natural thematic kampong program along with the problems and challenges faced: and 2) strengthening the socioeconomic capacity of the community through Semarang's natural thematic kampong program. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with data retrieval techniques using observation, interviews, and documentation. Data validity uses triangulation, and data analysis is guided by interactive data analysis. The results of this study indicate that the community managed to identify the local potential that they have to develop in the thematic kampong program. The implementation of the Malon natural thematic kampong program is realized in the community resource-based Edutourism package, which combines agriculture, livestock, culinary, and the practice of making batik with natural dyes. The problems and challenges of implementing thematic kampong are also faced by the community, concerning institutional and operational aspects. Through this thematic kampong program, there has been a strengthening of community capacity regarding infrastructure aspects, economic aspects of the community, social aspects of society, social networks with relevant stakeholders, even on the attitudes of the community in facing the problems and challenges in the thematic village program.

“…Citing research (Khadaroo and Seetanah in: Jafari, Xiao, 2016) Mandić et al (2017) emphasizes that in a broader sense infrastructure includes physical, legal, environmental and mental amenities which contribute to making tourism product enjoyable, reliable and sustainable (Rajovic, Bulatovic, 2017). The physical infrastructure of direct relevance to tourism includes recreational facilities that along with hotels and other forms of accommodation, spas and restaurants form the main tourism infrastructure ( Figure 7) (Mandić et al, 2017). In many cases Mandić et al (2017) citing research (Getz, 1992;Formica, Uysal, 1996;Garay, Canoves, 2011;Van der Borg, 1991) emphasizes that, the state of the urban renewal and local infrastructure indicate the destination position in area life cycle.…”

Sport and recreational tourism in the present time in Montenegro, it is actually one of the special forms of tourism that has a high tendency of growth. Mountainous area Trešnjevik-Lisa abounds in sports-recreational facilities that are only partially used. Many experts consider tourism today as a complex phenomenon, and it is also the subject of very frequent research. Almost everywhere in the world there is an area visited by tourists every day. Trends and society are changing, but the motives of traveling remain the same. There is a growing imperative to sports and recreation on vacation because of the hectic everyday life (Kalavarić, 2017). The mountainous area Trešnjevik-Lisa can be reached from two directions with a relatively good traffic connection: Kolašin-Mateševo-Bara Kralja (21 km) and from Andrijevica-via Most Bandović (15 km). The goal of developing of sports and recreational tourism in this mountainous area and its surroundings is to provide tourists with: establishing a balance between functional, motor and working abilities, satisfying social needs through entertainment, leisure and socializing, as well as rest, relaxation and recovery (Zegnal, Pletenac, 2010). The results of the research showed that sports and recreational facilities exist in only two tourist objects and that should strive for the construction of tourist accommodation facilities expanding the offer, introducing innovations, standardizing and improving sports-recreational content in the coming period, which would greatly contribute to the development of mountain areas Trešnjevik-Lisa as a destination of sports-recreational tourism.

“…The Law on Tourism Boards allows tourist boards of local and regional level to generate additional income from the following activities: managing public tourism infrastructure, selling souvenirs and local products, organizing events and even mediating in booking accommodation, but only if there is no registered tourist agency in that area, according to Law on Tourism Boards (Croatian Parliament, 2008). Performing those activities makes tourist boards potential hybrid organizations, but previous research on that topic confirmed that most of the tourist board directors prefer to transfer all profit-related activities to the private sector through various concession contracts and public-private partnerships rather than take the responsibility and associated risks related to market activities (Mandić, Mrnjavac, &Kordić, 2018).…”

This paper analyses the concepts of hybridity and hybrid spectrum organizations as important phenomena in the modern world. To improve the understanding of this concept, main characteristics of hybrid organizations are listed and discussed, with emphasis on typology of the hybrid spectrum. In order not to stop at a mere theoretical review, the purpose of this paper is to analyze specific characteristics of organizational hybrids in the field of tourism and to discuss the influence of some external environmental determinants (e.g. level of tourism development and the context of national legislation) on the motivation and mission of hybrid organizations. Croatia has been chosen as a study area, being one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, as well as an example of an economy that is heavily dependent on tourism. The results of the discussion provide arguments in favor of adopting a hybrid approach for sustainable tourism development. The selected examples from Croatia underline the necessity of introducing more sustainable business models in this financially lucrative sector, but also emphasize the key role of specific contextual circumstances in forming and developing hybrid organizations.
