Unemployment is a problem with whom countries around the world deal with and so does the Republic of Croatia. Over the years, in her crisis situations, the Republic of Croatia has found her exit from crisis in the tourism sector. With the help from the tourism sector, many economic problems have been solved, new jobs have been generated not only in the tourism sector but also in other related branches. Currently, the unemployment rate is decreased but simultaneously the number of states population has been decreasing every year because of the poorly job offers on the labor market which makes them look for their new working place in neighboring areas. Reasons are inadequate working conditions, poor working environment and very low salaries in comparison with other countries in European Union. Entering the business of tourism is easy, but maintaining your position is a complex and complicated job. The Republic of Croatia should increase and keep its competitiveness in comparison with other countries of European Union and world, where special attention should be on workers in tourism and providing continuous and adequate training for increasing the level of ability and education. Entering the European Union, the Republic of Croatia has been given a handful of possibilities which can be used for private and public entrepreneurs and by which critical groups like long term unemployed and younger population can be helped. Using various incentives and funds which the state and European Union offer, long term unemployed and younger population have the chance to work during the season which can in the future be an opportunity for long term employment. In the end, it is necessary to respect the principles of sustainable development which enables a balance between economic, social and environmental requests.
