In order to meet the needs and requirements of visitors in tourist destinations related to modes of transport, the offer in tourist destinations must satisfy travel habits. The introduction of the MaaS (Mobility as a Service) concept is reflected in the reduction of dependence on private cars. The main objectives of this paper are (1) to explore the MaaS concept, awareness about the concept, its importance and benefits in general and related to tourism in the Republic of Croatia; and (2) to explore the connection between a multimodal mindset about mobility concepts on the very concept of MaaS under the influence of satisfaction using mobility-related applications in tourism. The results of the research confirm a statistically significant relationship between a multimodal mindset (way of thinking) and the MaaS service in the function of tourism, and that relationship is mediated by the satisfaction with the use of mobility-related applications, but also the lack of awareness about the concept itself.

Every day we witness global urbanization that leaves mark on the environment and climate. This alone poses a challenge to numerous scientists and experts when it comes to urban planning and solving mobility problems in urban areas. In order for the urban environment to continue to develop, a sustainable transport system must be ensured. Precisely that will be showed at the example of the city of Varaždin. The indicator that will be addressed in this paper is Smart Mobility. It is extremely important to pay attention to mobility indicators in the transport sector, because they are the crucial basis for obtaining consistent and comparable data, establishing a knowledge base, establishing the possibility of communication with the rest of the environment, enabling the identification of good practice, enabling the monitoring of the implementation of projects that are being implemented as well as monitoring process of improvement and progress.

Through the Study on the Development of a Sustainable Public Transport System and a Non-Motorized Mobility System, in October 2022, the City of Ludbreg and the local municipalities of Martijanec, Sveti Đurđ, Veliki Bukovec, and Mali Bukovec jointly agreed to develop a sustainable transport system focused on passenger mobility. This agreement included co-financing the Study, which supports local development and promotes the efficient use of EU funds allocated for the 2021–2027 period. The Study emphasizes the integration of public transport, walking, and cycling, alongside the sustainable use of private vehicles, in alignment with European and national strategic frameworks aimed at reducing CO2 emissions and improving quality of life. However, the City of Ludbreg aims to further enhance the municipal public transport system, not only within the city but also across the entire Northern Croatia region. As a first step, in addition to optimizing the existing public transport service and defining an optimal bus route network, the goal is to establish a modern public transport system that is more attractive to users, offers greater comfort, ensures higher accessibility, and minimizes negative environmental impacts. By improving service quality, the system is expected to attract more users and create new mobility opportunities, contributing to demographic revitalization, employment growth, environmental protection, energy efficiency, lower transport costs, an improved standard of living, and broader economic development in Ludbreg and the surrounding region.
