Abstract: This study investigates the impact of short-term rentals (STRs) on local communities in Croatia, one of the most tourism-dependent countries in the world, from the perspective of destinations of individuals displaced by STRs. In cities with high tourism intensity, STRs give rise to closed migration circuits that restrict the exchange of knowledge and talent between socially and geographically diverse contexts. In less tourism-intensive cities, particularly in declining and ageing communities, STRs displace residents on a larger geographical scale, eroding the social capital of local communities. The results of this investigation have implications for areas grappling with the proliferation of STRs.
