Abstract: This work elaborates on the applicability of environmental indica­tors of sustainable tourism CROSTO at the destination of the city Omiš (Croa­tia). Criteria of availability, reliability, clarity and feasibility were considered. Tourism share in energy consumption, water consumption, waste and waste­water generation, as well as the number of eco-certified firms, were analyzed. Findings suggested that CROSTO indicators are applicable for sustainable destination management in the city Omiš. However, additional efforts are indispensable in order to improve their availability and visibility. Finally, al­though a certain level of environmental sustainability of tourism activities in the city Omiš was detected, further improvements are required.
