The goal of this bachelor’s thesis was to analize the representation of German language in programmes of national tourism and hospitality studies. In order to achieve that, an insight was given into the theoretical basis of the connection between Germany and Croatia, along with quantitative research. Considering Croatia’s territorial history and the fact that it was a part of the Habsburg Monarchy or Austro-Hungary, for almost 400 years, it is easy to deduce that Croatia had quite the connection with Germany. Knowing German language was very important for the military border alongside other areas of Croatia, and its influence and importance varies depending on the field of research. The term Gastarbeiter is also important to point out, considering the fact that the appearance of the term in newer history resulted in continuation of Germany’s cultural influence, which used to be tied to the territorial and politic situations. In the context of Europe, German language is one of the most commonly used languages together with English, and it is also one of the official languages used in the EU. Regarding the study of German in the Republic of Croatia, an important event was the school reform in the 18th century. The practical part of this thesis is based on the interpretation of data which was gathered in May and June of 2019, as well as listing the methodology present in order to set hypotheses. For the purposes of this thesis, a survey was compiled and distributed in electronic form to those colleges that fit the criteria of the questionnarie. Two claims were tested: the connection between a student’s status and his/her opinion on the advantages of learning German in place of a different language, as well as the connection between the city where the college is situated and the reasons behind picking German as a subject. The hypotheses were tested via Hi-square test.
