Tourism makes an increasingly significant contribution to the sustainable development of the world economy, but its development is subject to a series of catastrophic events. Numerous studies show that tourism is extremely sensitive to external environmental factors, such as natural disasters and man-made disasters. The occurrence of catastrophic events not only physically damages the material assets (plants and infrastructure) of tourist destinations in the relatively short term, but also in the long term makes it difficult to recover and restore the reputation and image of the tourist destination. Given the security sensitivity of tourism demand, tourists will cancel their travel plans knowing that traveling to disaster-prone destinations may jeopardize their safety. In recent decades, tourism has encountered such crises and disasters all over the world. Tourist destinations that are completely exempt from catastrophic events are rare. In the last two years in the territory of the Republic of Croatia, two catastrophic events of the COVID 19 pandemic and the devastating earthquakes that occurred in the area of the City of Zagreb in 2020 are dominant and in the area of Sisak-Moslavina County in 2021. In this final paper, the consequences of the COVID 19 pandemic and the devastating earthquake will be investigated regarding the further development of tourism in the area of Sisak - Moslavina County, the cities of Sisak and Petrinja, which have recently begun to develop city tourism in combination with rural tourism.
