Congress tourism is one of the forms of special interes tourism, in which the primary motive of traveling is participation in congresses and lucrative activities. Very often acronym M.I.C.E. is used for congress touirm, although it represents the industry of meetings. Although man has always traveled and was motivated by work, it is impossible to determine when the congress has exactly emerged and developed tourism because of the shared opinions of the authors. The significance of congress tourism in the development of the destination is mostly reflected in the extension of the tourist season and tourist spending, which is significantly higher in business tourists than in case of classical tourists. According to the World Tourism Organization, Europe is the leading macro region of the world by the number of tourist arrivals and tourism revenues. However, according to ICCA data for 2017, the US is the leading country by number of international congresses, while European cities Barcelona, Paris, Vienna, and Berlin are the leading cities according to the number of congresses held. Although Croatia is not on the most flattering place (38th), according to the number of international congresses, it surley has potentials for developing congress tourism, and Zagreb, Dubrovnik and Opatija are the leading congress destinations in Croatia. Dubrovnik is a pride of Croatian tourism and many tourists are attracted to it by its rich cultural and historical heritage and natural beauties. Although considerably smaller than Zagreb, Dubrovnik has over 8,000 congress facilities, and direct flights which connect it with the rest of Croatia and Europe, despite the poorly developed road connections. Dubrovnik has so far received many awards as an excellent congress destination, which is confirmed by the fact that it has hosted famous world companies and ialso competes with European metropolises such as Prague and Budapest. A great opportunity for further development of Dubrovnik's congress tourism would be the construction of a multifunctional congress center with a capacity up to 3,500 participants and the construction of a golf pitch on Srđ.
