In this paper authors have tried to elaborate some aspects of socioeconomic approach which would eventually unveil the future of economic and cultural development of the island of Dugi otok. It can be argued that the development of tourism as well as other economic activities on the island of Dugi otok can be attested as a paradigm for all bigger islands on the Croatian Adriatic sea. Sustainable tourism development on Dugi otok can only be durable if all other production and land axploitation activities adopt the paradigm of sustainable development. The island of Dugi otok is probably the best model of what can be called an unpolished diamonds of the Croatian Adriatic with so many resources that wait to be properly activated in order to preserve the authentic life experience on the island. This research paper has tried to prove that along with sustainable amount of mass tourism, there should develop appropriate quantity of specific niche tourism products with aim to enhance the value of authentic sustainable development of island tourism.
