Dubrovnik is leveraging its increasing tourist numbers to fund heritage conservation projects through revenue from attractions like the City Walls and Walls of Ston. The Society of Friends of Dubrovnik Antiquities (DPDS) uses ticket sales to preserve the city's cultural heritage, earning over €8 million last year. Major restoration projects include the Koruna Fortress and the Rector’s Palace. Similar eco-tax initiatives in other regions aim to support sustainable tourism and preserve local ecosystems.
