PRESS 2011 Italian campers were most impressed by camp sites Kovačine on Cres, Park Soline in Biograd and Poljana in Mali Lošinj. A special award was given to camp site ‘Zaton Holiday Village’ in Nin near Zadar, as one of the best camp sites of Europe, because it invests a lot in environmental development and the quality of service. A special award was also received by camp site ‘Park Umag’. The portal www.zoover.com paid a tribute to the camp sites Sirena (Novigrad) Jasenovo (Žaborić - Brodarica), Paklenica and the Oaza Mira (Drage, near Zadar) for being the best camp sites in Croatia, according to the recommendations of readers. The award is even more important when we know that Zoover is one of the leading websites for sharing experiences and recommendations of tourists from all over the world. 47
PRESS 2011 IX. INVESTMENTS www.mint.hr, www.hbor.hr The Croatian Ministry of Tourism should have 239 552 million Kunas from the budget at its disposal in 2011, or 5.7 percent more than in 2010 when it had 226 million Kunas. The largest portion of that money will be directed to the promotion of tourism, for which 132 million is planned, or 7 percent more than in 2010, while 107 million will be spent on the development of the tourism sector through a variety of items. In 2011 2,1 million Kunas will be spent on incentives to develop rural tourism, while 8 million will be allocated for the reconstruction of cultural and natural heritage as a tourism product. SMEs in tourism will be given incentives through the development and export bank of the Republic of Croatia, the Croatian bank for reconstruction and development, through the program ‘Incentives for Success’. They will be allocated around 44 million kunas (7 percent more than in 2010). Funds for the training of personnel in tourism and hospitality have been increased by 30 percent to 2.9 million. Almost twice as high will also be resources for infrastructure that will in 2011 amount to 3 million compared to 1.8 million in 2010. Investments in Croatian tourism in 2010, although slowed and reduced, continued despite the crisis. Below we bring an overview of the most important, but also some very ambitious ones. Longevity Will be Researched in Istria www.istra-istria.hr Istrian County Prefect Ivan Jakovčić and the world-renowned molecular geneticist Miroslav Radman, Director of the Mediterranean Institute for Life Sciences in Split (MedILS) signed an Agreement on the developing of a project of the Maditerranean Referal Centre for measuring antioxidant potential of Mediterranean foods, in the second half of November 2010. Project implementation requires the opening of a laboratory for measuring the impact that consuming Istrian products has on the body. The first measurements will involve fruits, vegetables, olive oil and red wine. It is estimated that by the end of 2011 the laboratory could operate independently. About 600 thousand Kunas will be allocated from the budget of the Istrian County for this ‘gastro-scientific’ project. The Renovated Hotel Korkyra www.hotel-korkyra.com The luxury hotel Korkyra in Vela Luka on the island of Korčula opened its doors before the start of the tourist season of 2010. 7 million Euros were invested in the renovation of this four-star hotel, while its owners tried to make it the perfect combination of tradition, original architecture and spirit of the old town of Korčula Island with contemporary designed, luxury rooms that offer all the benefits of high class hotels. The hotel has 58 modern accommodation units in three categories – double rooms, double deluxe rooms and junior suites. Guests have access to a fitness center, pools, saunas, excellent ambient lighting and audio-video systems. Also, for its visitors, hotel staff have created several packages, which include picking olives with a visit to the local olive growers and the traditional preparation of virgin olive oil or transportation to the island Prozid for a romantic dinner by candlelight, which is according to the New York Times, one of the 12 most beautiful excursions in the world. 48
