Social tourism is not a novelty of contemporary times and society. It has existed for a long time, but today is seen in some wider sense than before. It the past, it was intended for employees and their families, but today is the right of all citizens of some state. Due that, today is important to identify some new groups of users, such as persons with disabilities, ill persons, young families with children or unemployed are identified. This issue is particularly represented at the level of the European Union, as well as in the Republic of Croatia. For the purpose of the significant development of this tourism, all the countries of the EU have established and developed a support system of this nature. Although, in this purpose all of them are implementing specific projects. One of them is the CRO card project in Croatia which should start next year. It is a tourist voucher that will be assigned to employees for travel purposes. Social tourism has many positive effects and they can be considered from different aspects. This involves thinking about the economic effects, improving employee satisfaction and other groups, encouraging motivation and greater efficiency of work, promoting social inclusion issues, promoting equality among people and the like.
