Dubrovnik and the Dubrovnik Neretva Region is not only a<br />

leading regional destination, but also a global destination.<br />

Development of elite tourism is continually on the rise and a<br />

strategic objective for the Dubrovnik Neretva Region.<br />

The Old Town of Dubrovnik is a UNESCO world heritage site<br />

and is a must see world destination. It’s amazingly preserved<br />

medieval Old Town with its awe inspiring stone fortress is an<br />

inspiration to world renowned visitors throughout its history<br />

from King Richard the Lion Heart to pop singer Beyonce. After<br />

visiting Dubrovnik, Ernest Hemingway called the city the “Pearl<br />

of the Adriatic”.<br />

However, what makes Dubrovnik special and unique is that it is<br />

not a museum; rather its historical Old Town is a living<br />

breathing small town with local residents enjoying life within its<br />

medieval walls on a daily basis. With a mix of new international<br />

inhabitants of the city, residents<br />

enjoy their morning grocery shopping at the open air market at<br />

Gundulić square, morning coffee at the City Coffee House<br />

(Gradska kavana), evening promenades on the Stradun main<br />

street, open air concerts on the medieval walls, etc.<br />

The Dubrovnik Neretva Region includes other historical and<br />

tourism beauties including: Mali Ston, the Pelješac peninsula,<br />

Korčula and other islands, the Mljet national park, etc. Tourism<br />

development is focused towards providing opportunities for<br />

the development of elite tourism projectsand extending the<br />

tourism season year wide to allow every average citizens<br />

toexperience and enjoy the Dubrovnik experience.<br />

The filming of the globally popular “Game of Thrones” in the<br />

Dubrovnik Neretva Region is but one well-known project aimed<br />

at promoting such a Dubrovnik experience.<br />
