Umag - Large investments into camps
The company Istraturist from Umag, the most northern Adriatic tourist centre, has begun with investments into the further raising of quality of tourist products and services. The announced investments are worth about 12, 5 million Euros, of which the majority will be invested into the raising of the quality of camps.
Namely, during the last five years Istraturist has invested about 76 million Euros into the renovation of accommodation capacities and introduction of new content. This year it is the turn of auto-camps, into whose improvement will be invested about eight million Euros. In this way the largest Istraturist camp Ladin gaj will become Camping park Umag with a four star rating, while the camps Finida, Stella Maris, Pineta and Kanegra will have three star standards.
All five camps together have a capacity of 9000 places which makes up nearly half the capacity of Istraturist.
Of the announced eight million Euros, about five and a half million will be invested into the Camping Park Umag in which, other than the overall raising of quality of the camp offer, a large amount will also be invested into landscaping the environment – the construction of a so called fun-educational park Istria which will on about 13.000 square metres, in the shape of map of Istria, present authentic Istrian sites and will be witness to the thousand year coexistence with nature. Namely, guests will be introduced to kažune (old Istrian stone houses), vineyards, olive groves, orchards, they will see the red and grey Istrian soil….and will be able to learn about the specific Mediterranean flora through educational courses.
There will also be investments into the remaining four camps in which, along with improving the conditions in the camp, special attention will also be given to horticultural landscaping and in increasing animation and children’s activities, because all camps of the Umag company operate under the motto Family friendly camps and are adapted to offer ideal family holidays.
As far as the technical part of the investment, it will also be necessary to carry out parcelisation because of new installation for mobile homes, installation of electricity, water, satellite and TV connections, raising the standards of sanitary facilities, fixing up the beach and construction of additional facilities like a belvedere and pirate ship.

Vukovar
- Opening of the
Hotel Lav
At the beginning of February in Vukovar, a
renowned city of Eastern Slavonia, the new, high category Hotel Lav was
opened. It is a facility which was constructed on the ruins of the old
Hotel Lav which was badly damaged during the war.
The Hotel Law has a four star rating and offers its guests a total of 42
rooms of which four are also luxuriously equipped apartments.
Along with this, the hotel also has a large a-la carte restaurant seating
90 people, a city café and business centre of sorts with four multipurpose
halls – one large hall with a capacity of 150 to 200 places, two medium
sized halls for about sixty people and one small hall with about 30
places, given that the halls may be joined into one large congress hall.
Other than all this, in the accommodation section of the hotel business
guests are offered a small business room, suitable for smaller business
meetings.
With this hotel and congress centre the inhabitants of Vukovar hope that business tourism will again come alive in the city.
The location of the hotel is also very attractive as it is in the very centre of Vukovar and the back of the hotel looks directly onto the Danube River which for many Vukovar inhabitants is the “symbol of life”.
Other than business guests and tourists, the hotel has also opened its doors to potential incentives because the city truly has a powerful story which through its tradition speaks of a thousand year history of the city and region.
Also celebrated at the opening of the newly renovated hotel was its 165th anniversary. Namely, the hotel was constructed in 1840 and to date it has been destroyed three times because of war events.

Planet -
Croatia
the most desirable
destination in the world
The renowned travel guide, Lonely Planet,
recently announced Croatia the most desirable destination in the world for
2005.
It has already become traditional that every December all writers, journalists, photographs and other associates of Lonely Planet who are active throughout the whole world gather together to name be best destinations for the upcoming year, and results of this survey are published at the beginning of every year – so that tourists throughout the world will have time to decide which country, according to their valued selection, to chose for this years holiday.
After last years fourth place, Croatia has jumped to the very top of the most desirable tourist countries and the reason for this is, as cited by Lonely Planet, the unique combination of culture, history, gastronomy, accessibility and affordable price.
One of the surveyed journalists explained his nomination of Croatia using these words: Croatia attracts a wide spectre of travellers with it rich variety of attractions but at the same time it is not overcrowded with tourists. It has developed an excellent tourist infrastructure, such that suits both adventurers and those guests who require a certain level of comfort. This is definitely Croatia’s year”.
As in surveys to date the first five places according to popularity after Croatia are occupied by China, Argentina, USA and Costa Rica and Italy which share fifth place on the ladder of this year’s most popular destinations.

New
York Times -
Croatia included in prestigious tourist
planner
That Croatia has also become sought after and an increasingly present destination on the American market is evidenced by the latest, traditional January supplement of the prestigious New York Times which is printed in 1, 5 million copies.
Under the heading “Where to travel in 2005” included are all the currently popular world destinations which are divided into a number of basic categories in the supplement.
In the category of good-value trips in the company of China, Brazil, Argentina and cities like Ljubljana, Sarajevo and Kiev appears Croatia– which confirms the increase in popularity of the central and eastern European region.
The basic question which permeates the supplement is whether to stay at home or travel to a destination in which the dollar is still valued. And so Croatia offers itself as a destination in which they can enjoy a picture of unspoiled natural beauty and beaches which are being visited by an increasing number of other world travellers and where a holiday, according to the experts of the New York Times, will cost 30 percent less than on the previously famed French Riviera.

British tour operator
“Holiday Options”
Starting Easter new flights to Zadar
The Zadar region will this year for the first time appear on the program of the British tour operator “Holiday Options” which will in the week before Easter begin with weekly flights of British guests to Zadar airport, which will continue until the end of October.
“Holiday Options” is the largest British tour operator for Croatia, which last year brought over 22.000 British tourists or the same number that the remaining four British tour operators brought over, who also offer Croatia in their programs.
In previous years, “Holiday Options” operated exceptionally well along the entire Adriatic coast, from Istria to Split and Dubrovnik and only the region of the City of Zadar was missing in their programs. To date a certain number of seats on charter flights which will be leaving from London’s Gatwick airport have been reserved for it. According to recent announcements in 2006 the number of flights towards Zadar will probably increase given that it is expected that traffic towards this central Dalmatian city will be excellent, as was the case up to now with the other mentioned Adriatic destinations.
Namely, presently the state of sales of holidays on the Adriatic in Great Britain by this tour operator are 33 percent better than last year and this for the entire region of the Adriatic, which has definitely contributed to the widening of the program and charter links with Zadar as well. This in turn contributes to greater expectations and an increase in flights for next year as well.

Split -Spectacular celebrations of the 1700 anniversary of the city
Throughout this entire year the citizens of the City of Split will be officially celebrating the jubilee 1700th anniversary of the existence of their city, that is the great anniversary of the most famous symbol of Split, the Diocletian palace from which the city rose forth. Let us remind you, that the Diocletian palace is a cultural monument under UNESCO protection.
To ensure that festivities will be at the grand level that this anniversary demands, the Tourist board of the City of Split and the City of Split have developed a whole year spectacular program which will tell the world it is the Year of the Palace.
This structure, built at the end of the 3rd century, is one of the most important pieces of late antic architecture and one of the best preserved monuments of Roman architecture in the world. The Palace was constructed as a luxurious summer residence for the Emperor Diocletian and was positioned with the boundaries of a Roman military camp and with two main streets was divided into four parts.
After 1700 years of coexistence, Split residents are getting ready for four significant presentation of their Palace in the world – in Budapest, Krakow, Graz and New York. The rich cultural heritage will be presented at 11 international fairs.
In February, in the Split hotel Park, an exhibition “Split 1700” was opened, presenting monographics of the Palace and the city, while throughout the year numerous other events significant to the city will also be presented. Beginning with the “Split krnjevala” – a carnival where guests are treated to songs by Dalmatian klapa (acapello groups), parades of marching girls and performances by numerous folkloric groups.
Not to mention the traditional Split manifestations like the Split summer festival which is being held for the 51st time this year and which will take place with a celebratory spirit.
The main ceremony will be held on the 29th of July – with the performance “Noć Dioklecijana” (Diocletian’s Night) when a thematic evening will be organised – where all will become better acquainted with old Roman culture. Namely, all guests in Split will be able to taste ancient Roman specialties and enjoy in a costume parade.

Island of Brač -Construction of an elite summer residence for tourists
This year the Split company SEM 1986 began with the realisation of the program SEM apartment (suite) hotels on Dalmatian islands. The first in a series of projects is a hotel in the tourist centre Supetar on the central Dalmatian island of Brač, whose completion is expected by the middle of this year’s summer season.
The program, worth about two million Euros, is based on the tradition of Dalmatian summer residences, or more precisely the unity of exterior and interior space and the integration of the facility into the environment.
This specific form of tourist offer is earmarked for elite guests and the presentation of the assets of the City of Supetar and Island of Brač.
The accommodation facilities of the hotel will extend over 600 square metres on two floors, with a courtyard and gardens on 2, 5 thousand square metres.
Autochthonous Dalmatian atmosphere will be architecturally achieved by using authentic Brač stone and traditional flat roofs, including a horticultural selection of Mediterranean plants which will ensure guests are enveloped with the authentic island scent all year round.
With this Brač pilot project will be built a total of ten apartments. Three apartments will be 23 square metres in size and will not include kitchens, while the other apartments will be 70 square metres in size and will offer a modern equipped kitchen.
However, regardless of the kitchen, in the complex of apartment hotels, there will also be offered a small dinning room in which all guests will be offered breakfast.
As far as the activity part of the “summer residence” is concerned – guests will have at their disposal a pool and small centre with a fitness gym.

Dubrovnik: Excursioners
greeted by a galleon form the old Dubrovnik Republic
Slowly but surely the construction of a replica of a Dubrovnik galleon, once the largest and most impressive ship of the fleet of the Dubrovnik Republic, is finally drawing to a close.
This unusual vessel, which is being built for a Dubrovnik travel agency, is 27 metres in length and 7, 5 metres wide. Other than the sails which “power“ the ship, the galleon also has at its disposal two ship motors which will be able to carry up to 200 passengers on one day trips.
It is expected that the galleon will be finished by the beginning of May this year when it will begin one day excursion tours from Dubrovnik to the islands and attractive locations.
The entire ship is constructed from the highest quality wood – domestic oak and pine and it is expected that the boat, with maintenance of course, will be able to sail for the next hundred years.
In this way
guests of Dubrovnik will be able to enjoy in the galleon which represents
a typical though small picture of the once small but powerful Dubrovnik
Republic.

Crikvenica-Vinodol Riviera
New tourist walking paths being constructed
In the region of the northern Adriatic cities Crikvenica and Novi Vinodolski, the construction and landscaping of 160 km of walking path – a pedestrian tourist path which will connect the coast and mountainous part of this region, will begin soon.
The paths were envisaged in such a manner that they can be traversed by walking, by bicycle, public transport and small vehicles and to ensure their accessibility to all those interested, the paths will have may access paths which will lead to all tourist locations.
The construction project foresees that the starting points of the paths will be in front of local tourist boards, while access points will be at all important intersections and bus stops.
One complete whole, called the marine pulse, will be represented by paths which will connect the coastal part – from the locality Jadranovo to Plovila, with the mountain areas which extend from the region of Drvenik to Ledenica. Therefore in close vicinity to the City of Novi Vinodolski. This part of the path will be about 80 km long and connected to it will be access paths from every location on the coast and smaller localities in the Vinodol valley. In this way the paths will be divided into five smaller paths and everyone will be able to choose a path to suit their physical fitness and wishes.
The other complete whole will be the paths in the mountain region which will connect the most beautiful areas and mountain belvederes in the forest areas. Access paths from all surrounding areas will also connect to the path.
The paths will be conceived so that on one side they will offer a view of the coast and islands while on the other, a view of the valley and the mountain hinterland. As the paths will pass along some old castle ruins and chapels, hikers will be able to become better acquainted with the cultural heritage of this region.
The whole project, which should be finished by the end of this year, was developed so that with the varying in climate, vegetation, fauna, way of life and culture, every walker may discover something new and unknown, while at the same time get better acquainted with the area in which they are staying. Namely, the initial project will also be supplemented by the construction of new coastal paths from the locality Jadranovo to Novi Vinodolski which in turn will be connected to the path marine pulse and in this way will create a complete whole for every settlement along the coast.

The
Istrian Y highway
For a pleasant break while travelling
On the Istrian Y – a highway running through the interior of all Istria, this summer will be opened the first tourist-catering facility in which travellers will be able to refresh themselves and briefly enjoy the autochthonous charms of Istria.
The facility will be constructed close to the largest Istrian city Pula. It will actually rise up from an existing kažun – typical Istrian stone house.
The facility will actually also be called Kažun and according to the existing plans the construction will extend over about 150 square metres. Added to the existing kažun will be a spacious terrace whose appearance will also show the autochthonous Istrian style of building. Along side it will be built another smaller kažun in which will be offered wine, olive oil and traditional Istrian souvenirs and along with all of this travellers will also have at their disposal an exchange office.
Also planned next to these facilities, is a children’s playground and new sanitary facilities, however this investment will have to wait a while.
The official opening of the Kažun has been announced for the end of April, which should be an intro for the opening of the second section of the Istrian Y highway, from Medak to Umag, which should be finished by the middle of May.

Park Prevlaka - An attractive adrenaline park for tourists and adventurers
As part of the Park Prevlaka which is located on the peninsula of the same name at the southern most point of Croatia, an attractive adrenaline park was opened last year. Today it offers guests heaps of fun, organised excursions and tours of military catacombs. Namely, Prevlaka was once a peninsula owned by the military and today there are still many military relics like the mentioned catacombs, ditches and trenches. Other than tours of these catacombs, already today, for guests we often organise programs like treasure hunts or thematic programs especially adjusted for team building. Along with this, the Park also abounds with an extensive offer for athletes, adventurers and usual tourists looking for an active holiday.
Currently on offer is the popular war game – paintball for which three locations have been constructed, while in case of rain the players head in halls which have been specifically done up for this type of entertainment. Other than this, three artificial hills have been constructed in the area for climbers and today it represents the largest centre for sports climbing in the entire Dubrovnik County.
On the other hand those tourists who want to get better acquainted with the whole peninsula have bikes at their disposal and from the beginning of May, with the arrival of much nicer and warmer days, guests will also be able to enjoy the training range for ATV motors with four wheels, so called buggies. Namely, the training range will be arranged so that it offers guests adrenaline drives which will be improved by smaller jumps so that guests can have even more fun!
That not all though, the Park managers are planning a very attractive swing for guests, similar to bungee jumping, which will be mounted at a height of 12 m so that guests will be able to jump from nearby buildings and enjoy free flying in the large swing. Given that it has firm ropes and is positioned at a much lower height than bungee jumping, it will be able to be used by nearly all age groups.

Rijeka - City to be enriched by new, quality accommodation facilities
Rijeka will soon be richer for another hotel. Namely, Mr. Goran Štrok, the owner of one of the largest hotel chains in Croatia “Jadranski luksuzni hoteli” (Adriatic luxury hotels) recently leased in Rijeka the popular Rijeka “Costabella”. It is a smaller sports-tourism complex at one of the most attractive positions in the city of Rijeka which extends over a total of 2094 square metres and which Mr. Goran Štrok has lease for the next 30 years.
Up until now the inadequately used tourist facility “Costabella” upon entering the group “Jadranski luksuzni hoteli” will be crowned with a high four star standard. The total accommodation capacity will be twenty luxuriously decorated rooms and two apartments, including also a restaurant and café bar with a terrace.
The “Costabella” area other than accommodation facilities, which are expected to be open by the middle of June this year, from next year will also offer guests new recreational facilities like tennis courts and fitness centre and small wellness centre which will be open for guests and Rijeka residents, or – all guests of the City of
“Costabella»” is located very close to the high quality hotel “Grand Hotel Bonavia Park Plaza” – a hotel which has long been a member of the group “Jadranski luksuzni hoteli”. As this hotel is located in the centre of town and up until now has not had a direct link with the beach, this new complex will significantly bring it closer to the beach and sea.
