The geographical position of a certain destination expresses spatial relationship of a particular destination towards the main directions of tourism trends, and the proximity of major regions or countries that tourists come from. What will the significance of geographical location be like depends mostly on the type and quality of means of transport and transport infrastructure, as well as the distance between destinations. Thus, it can be said that the construction of transport infrastructure in the tourist destination, as well as roads to tourist destination and interconnection of tourist destinations, are extremely important for the development of tourism. The relationship and position of destinations towards major markets in tourism demand is estimated by analyzing the traffic position.

The city of Rijeka plays an important role in linking the Danube area with the Adriatic Sea and Central Europe with Southeast Europe, and also in the area of Rijeka two important international traffic routes intersect, which is an important economic and tourist resource.
