Maistrine ponude | Special Offers from <strong>Maistra</strong><br />

Piše | Text by: Iva Marušić<br />

Kongresi, susreti,<br />

konferencije...<br />

Congresses, Meetings, Conferences…<br />

Kongresni turizam jedna je od<br />

ključnih karika za cjelogodišnje<br />

poslovanje Maistrinih hotela<br />

Conference tourism is one of the key<br />

links for the year-round business of<br />

<strong>Maistra</strong> hotels<br />

Kongresni turizam i općenito poslovno uvjetovana<br />

putovanja, prema službenim podacima Svjetske<br />

turističke organizacije za 2009. godinu, čine 15<br />

posto svih svjetskih međunarodnih dolazaka, a po<br />

financijskom učinku premašuju tu brojku. Značaj<br />

kongresne turističke industrije je tim veći kada se u<br />

obzir uzme činjenica da se radi o putovanjima mahom<br />

vezanima za periode niske sezone leisure putovanja,<br />

što znači da su ona ključna za cjelogodišnje turističko<br />

poslovanje. Upravo stoga, <strong>Maistra</strong> u svojoj poslovnoj<br />

strategiji razvoju MICE turizma (Meetings, Incentives,<br />

Conferences, Events - skraćenica koja u turističkoj<br />

industriji obuhvaća kongrese i poslovna putovanja)<br />

daje iznimno velik značaj. Potvrđuje se to i intenzivnim<br />

investicijama u razvoj vrhunskih hotelskih kapaciteta<br />

te snažnim prodajnim i marketinškim aktivnostima<br />

usmjerenima na taj tržišni segment.<br />

Ulaganja<br />

Intenzivno ulaganje u marketinške i prodajne<br />

aktivnosti u segmentu MICE turizma podrazumijeva<br />

kontinuirane nastupe na specijaliziranim radionicama<br />

i sajmovima u svijetu, suradnju s međunarodnim<br />

konzorcijima i organizacijama (Naseba, GHOTW),<br />

oglašavanje u vodećim svjetskim direktorijima MICE<br />

ponude te akvizicijske posjete i prezentacije u zemlji i<br />

inozemstvu.<br />

Zbog važnosti kojeg MICE segment zauzima u<br />

cjelokupnom Maistrinom turističkom portfelju, velik<br />

dio investicijskih sredstava usmjeren je upravo na<br />

razvoj vrhunskih hotela i komplementarnih sadržaja i<br />

to posebice onih koji su izravno i posredno vezani za<br />

MICE segment. Upravo zbog toga, <strong>Maistra</strong> je zadnjih<br />

godina preuzela ulogu vodećeg investitora u hrvatskom<br />

turizmu s 1,7 milijarda kuna investicija realiziranih do<br />

Conference tourism and official travel generally,<br />

according to the World Tourism Organization, provided<br />

15 percent of the world’s international arrivals in 2009,<br />

and their financial performance exceeds this figure.<br />

The importance of the conference tourism industry<br />

is even bigger when we take into account the fact<br />

that these trips are mostly related to periods of low<br />

season leisure trips, which means they are essential<br />

for year-round tourist business. That is why <strong>Maistra</strong><br />

gives extreme importance to MICE tourism (Meetings,<br />

Incentives, Conferences, Events - an acronym that<br />

covers conferences and business trips in the travel<br />

industry) in its business development strategy. This<br />

is also confirmed by intensive investment in the<br />

development of top quality hotel facilities and strong<br />

sales and marketing activities aimed at this market<br />

segment.<br />

Investments<br />

Intensive investment in marketing and sales activities<br />

in the MICE tourism segment includes continuous<br />

performances in specialized workshops and exhibitions<br />

around the world, cooperation with international<br />

organizations and consortia (Naseba, GHOTW),<br />

advertising in leading international directories of the<br />

MICE offer, as well as acquisition-related visits and<br />

presentations at home and abroad.<br />

Due to the importance of the MICE segment in<br />

the entire <strong>Maistra</strong> tourism portfolio, a large part<br />

of investment funds is focused precisely on the<br />

development of top hotels and complementary<br />

facilities, particularly those which are directly and<br />

indirectly related to the MICE segment. Consequently,<br />

last year <strong>Maistra</strong> assumed the role of the lead investor<br />

in Croatian tourism with 1.7 billion kunas investment<br />
