Kad Rovinj postane Havana | When Rovinj becomes Havana
Salsa i toplina Mediterana
Ono što je još bitnije, mnogobrojne su pozitivne implikacije festivala
koji dodatno obogaćuje turističku ponudu Istre. Od samog početka
održavanja festivala u organizaciju su se uključili Grad Rovinj i
Turistička zajednica Grada Rovinja te hotelijersko-turistička tvrtka
Maistra d.d. “Ples se izvrsno uklapa u sliku Rovinja kao romantičnog
utočišta, a festivalom se uspješno promovira i kvalitetan životni stil
uz aktivnost i druženje. U prošlih pet godina festival se brojkom
polaznika gotovo učetverostručio pa s tadašnjih 250 govorimo već o
900 polaznika iz cijele Europe koji su prošlu godinu uživali u rovinjskim
ljepotama. Naravno, plesače iz cijelog svijeta ne privlači samo ljepota
plesa, već i pozitivan duh festivala, jedinstvena mediteranska lokacija
Rovinja, njegovih trgova i hotela, te godišnji odmor uz ples i zabavu“,
smatra Daniela Trtinjak.
A za one koji preferiraju pasivan odmor, Rovinj je ponovno prava
destinacija posljednjih dana lipnja jer, kako će se mnogi složiti, salsa
je pravi doživljaj ne samo za sudjelovanje već i za gledanje. Naime, uz
glazbu na svakom koraku očekuju se i vrhunski scenski nastupi svjetski
poznatih instruktora i koreografa. Što drugo reći, nego - dođite i
zaplešite!
socializing and traveling. At the same time, on the business side, we
have created a product that differs from the existing similar products,
not only in Rovinj and Croatia, but also within the whole region”,
explains Semenčić.
Salsa and the Mediterranean Warmth
More importantly, there are numerous positive implications of the
festival that additionally enrich tourism in Istria. The town of Rovinj,
the Tourist Board of Rovinj and Maistra Inc., a hotel-tourist company,
have been involved in the organization of the festival from the very
beginning. “Dance excellently dovetails the image of Rovinj as a
romantic sanctuary, and the festival is a great way of promoting a
quality lifestyle with activity and socializing. During the last five years,
the festival has almost quadrupled in the number of participants, and
has grown from 250 to 900 participants who enjoyed the beauty of
Rovinj last year, coming from the whole of Europe. Of course, dancers
from around the world are not only drawn by the beauty of dance,
but also by the positive festival spirit, Rovinj’s unique Mediterranean
location, its squares and hotels, and a holiday with dancing and
entertainment”, Daniela Trtinjak says.
And for all those who prefer a passive holiday, Rovinj is again the
right destination in the last days of June because many would agree
that salsa is not only a real sensation as a participant, but equally as
a spectator. You can expect music at every step, with excellent scene
performances of worldly recognized instructors and choreographers.
What else can we say - come and dance!
