The Opatija Riviera is a tourist destination with a longstanding tourist tradition, and in its tourism development up to date it has not yet achieved such results as could be expected based on its available resources and other comparative advantages. Tourism in the Opatija Riviera is lagging behind modem tourist trends. Hence, the primary objectives of this destination in its future tourism development should be the shaping of an identifiable, top-quality tourist product, the creation of its own identity, and the deliberation of tourism from the viewpoint of the destination, as the basis of tourism prosperity. With the aid of marketing mix activities, it is crucial to reposition the Opatija Riviera as an attractive and competitive tourist destination with a recognisable image, capable of attracting potential tourists. Through carefully directed marketing planning and with a view to tourism prosperity, the Opatija Riviera, as a tourist destination, will be able to achieve the required level of imagination, originality and variety with regard to the competition.

The article analyses the activation of the object “science” on the coast of southern Chile to create a destination for scientific tourism. A territorial resource is “revealed” through the selection and enhancement of scientific objects. A research centre acts as an articulator of the tourism development project and trans‑ forms “generic” resources to “specific” ones. New heritage milestones are created around cultural geographi‑ cal areas and relevant themes for scientists and local actors. New social links and collective dynamics allow the creation and insertion of an emerging tourist destination in the national and international scenario. Giving value to resources for the creation of a sustainable destination is carried out in 5 theoretical stages; selection, justification, conservation, exposure and valorisation. In practice, it requires the formation of a network of actors to clarify the nature of the destination and the marketing of four possible scientific tourism products: scientific and sports explorations, eco‑volunteering or cultural trips with scientific content. In this manner the Patagonian Archipelagos offers products based on scientific resources enhanced by local actors to create a sustainable destination.

Tourism as the main driver and pillar of the socio-economic development of the developed and the underdeveloped countries is a powerful economic segment for economic development. The rapid pace of tourism development has contributed to a number of countries to take strong steps towards development and more serious treatment. The effects of tourism are mainly perceived through the increase in the foreign exchange inflow, improvement in the balance of payments, creation of new jobs and growth of investments. The dynamic growth and development as well as the significance of the tourism industry have contributed to raising marketing to a higher level where through promotional activities tourism will strengthen the role of the tourism market. The promotion in tourism refers to communication between the producer and the consumer, where through communication, information is exchanged that will contribute to increasing the sales of tourism products and services, and significantly influences the choice of the particular tourist product, while providing relevant information about the characteristics of the tourist destination. Through the promotion, consumers receive information about products, services and ideas in order to encourage the interest in using them. The promotion takes an important place in positioning the product on the market and achieving a competitive advantage. It is accomplished through economic propaganda, promotion of sales, public relations, publicity and personal consumption, which are basic forms of promotion. It is particularly important that these activities are coordinated, which will contribute to the formation of awareness among potential probes for the existence of the product / service and create their preferences. This role of promotional activities is conditioned by their mutual relationship with other marketing instruments. If both the product, the price, and the distribution channels successfully perform their role, then the promotional activities will be successful. They can not complement the weaknesses of other elements of the marketing mix. In order for the promotion to be effective, an efficient product / service policy, price, distribution channels, as well as a high level of integration of the overall marketing activities in the marketing plan, as well as the coordination of the company's plans as a whole, is required. In promoting products, services and ideas, a number of methods, tools and activities are used that are aimed at achieving the goals of promotion, and thus the marketing goals. When we talk about promotional activities in tourism, that is, when tourists are offered a certain tourist product, it is necessary to intensify and coordinate cooperation between all participants in the preparation of this product. In the offer of the tourist product, tourists are informed in advance about the trip itself to decide on destinations that would satisfy their tourist needs. Promoting a particular tourist destination encourages people to visit, or to engage in a tripartite journey.
