Tourism

Croatia is year after year successfully achieving excellent image and is becoming even more desirable destination where tourists spend their holidays or weekends and the increase of demands for accommodation of higher quality with extra activities and services is significant. Also, along with our attractive coast, the bigger interest is emerging for other areas such as rural tourism or mountain tourism.

Family and small hotels

Investing in family and small hotels represents one of the fundamental directions of the development of Croatian tourism. Family and small hotels are characterised by high quality service, nurturing authenticity and uniqueness with the tendency of a constant growth of circulation and consumption. Despite firm foundations, unique natural riches and tradition, the problem of seasonality is present in Croatian family and small hotels. Because of that reason it is necessary to constantly improve hotel offers - specialisation towards narrow segments of demand, modernisation of Croatian products, change of educational system in tourist sector and founding organisations for managing destinations. When entering in an investment, we will help you overcome all obstacles in order to increase the seasonality period and will meet you halfway by understanding all specificities of the industry, as well as your business.
