By implementing strategies, measures and solutions and with the cooperation and support of the Cruise lines International Association, Dubrovnik in a short time managed to develop and create a systematic, integrated and participatory common approach aimed at solving some of the most important issues such as problems with excessive tourism and large influx of cruise guests, which has gained a high reach in the implemented practice. Adjustments were made through various measures and careful planning of cruiser arrivals/departures daily, weekly and annually. Given the high daily concentration of passengers in a relatively limited city area, better and more concrete communication was achieved with cruise companies whose ships are entering the port, the organization on the ground is more efficient and results in a more appropriate timetable for cruise ships and controlling the flow of tourists.

These segments have ensured the preservation of the environment, the high quality of life of the local community and the unforgettable experiences of those who have the opportunity to visit Dubrovnik and enjoy its imposing cultural and historical heritage, the clean sea and the unavoidable monumental attractions in the old town center. In 2019, Dubrovnik became one of the 30 world destinations for which the Global Council for Sustainable Tourism conducted a destination assessment which included an assessment of the state of destination policy, inclusion and benefits of the community, management of cultural and natural assets, and management of environmental and natural resources. On their scale, which assesses the overall performance of destinations in sustainability, the City of Dubrovnik achieved an excellent 70 percent. This process confirms the serious and dedicated work that made Dubrovnik a top list of favorite cruise destinations.
