Abstract: Abstract The maritime economy, as a range of diverse elements, encompasses all the industries and activities that utilize the sea as a natural resource, including shipbuilding, fisheries, exploitation of the sea and undersea, marine shipping, seaports, various maritime production and sales services. The specificity of the maritime economy is that it is characterized by a multiplicative effect on the development of land economy, which provides a guarantee for faster development of the rest of the economy, but also it is a justified reason for prioritizing maritime affairs. The empirical section in this paper analyses the indicators that provide an overview of the multiplier effect on the County of Zadar resulting from the expansion of maritime passenger traffic. The aim of this paper is to present the impact of maritime passenger traffic (cruise passengers, etc.) effect, as one of the segments of the maritime economy on the development of seaports and their surroundings (local units and county) and to define conceptual instruments and solutions for long-term development.
