The theme of this final thesis is to show Tourism, in times of pandemic and highlighting the risks, challenges and opportunities that tourism faces. Special attention was dedicated to the historical development and indicator of tourist trends with concrete figures in Croatia, and the aim of this thesis is to show the meaning of tourism, the impact of the pandemic on tourism in Croatia and the loss created by the pandemic. Since, Tourism which is one of the largest and fastest growing industries in the world, accounting for about 10% of the world's GDP, in times of pandemic, we can say that its trajectory has changed and started to fall, as the pandemic has truly threatened tourism, which is confirmed by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), that the year 2020 was the worst year in history with a decline in international tourist arrivals compared to 2019. Since word tourist, loses its meaning besides travel restrictions and other measures reduce, we come to the knowledge that collapse of international travel and a loss of tourism revenue (which is a bigger loss than it was during the global economic crisis in year 2009) represents obstacles in expectations of a rapid recovery of tourism. Processing the topics of the society risk, the risk of tourism and the impact of globalization on tourism, emphasis is placed on the consequences of tourism and over tourism on the local community, with the elaboration and the new outcome, that it was pandemic the one that created the opportunity for the development of tourism and creating new forms of tourism.
