The dissertation provides a historical overview and an outline of current organisational and management structure of hunting and the hunting industry in the Republic of Croatia and in the Osijek-Baranja County. Hunting and agriculture were the two fundamental industries in the early human societies that secured their livelihood and had a profound impact on their survival and development. In the modern world, the original purpose of hunting has become virtually negligible: the exchange value and the use value of hunting have gradually declined, while the significance of sports, recreation and pleasure found in outdoor activities and game hunting gradually increases. As hunting industry stakeholders, the hunters work to conserve plant and animal ecosystems while trying to earn an extra income and obtain an economic benefit for the hunting community as well as the broader social community through hunting tourism and trophy hunting. The study of the sociodemographic characteristics and the opinions of hunting managers and hunters about the organisation and management in the hunting industry and the opportunities for the development of hunting tourism, carried out for the purposes of this dissertation, points to the conclusion that the potential for further development of hunting tourism exists in the Osijek-Baranja County. The dissertation proposes organisational and management models for hunting aimed at developing hunting tourism as another form of selective tourism that will contribute to the economic development of a destination, in this case, the Osijek-Baranja County. To facilitate continual development of hunting tourism, sustainable development and restrictions imposed by nature and game as the primary resources must be considered. This is the chief challenge and task that both hunters and hunting managers must address.
