It can become a generator of development with the help of a well thought-out tourism valorisation strategy. Cultural heritage research in the context of cultural tourism is a new topic in Croatia, in the same way that the phenomenon of cultural tourism has become a global phenomenon in the last twenty years. The aim of this study is to analyse the attitudes of tourists, excursionists and directors of Me£żimurje tourist boards about the potential valorisation of immovable cultural heritage in Me£żimurje; in order to identify the most important cultural and heritage sites, so that they would be valorised more successfully. The attitudes of tourists and excursionists were obtained with the help of a questionnaire, and attitudes of the directors of tourist boards with the help of in-depth interviews. The research has shown that tourists are not familiar enough with the cultural heritage of Me£żimurje, that the region has good tourism potential that is not well utilised, that there are several cultural heritage sites in Me£żimurje that are included in the tourism supply, but that most of the heritage sites are still not valorised for the purposes of tourism %K cultural heritage %K tourism valorisation %K tourism supply %K cultural tourism %K Me£żimurje %K Croatia %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=312447
