DUBROVNIK NERETVA
REGION: WHERE WE ARE
OVERVIEW:
The Dubrovnik Neretva Region is the most southern part of
the Republic of Croatia, located on a very important
geostrategic position in southeast Europe and the
Mediterranean basin. Its territory consists of 80% of sea and
20% of land (making up only 3.1% of the country’s land
territory). Exceptionally rich with natural resources such as
sun, wind, fertile land, water, national parks and islands, it is
traditionally a hospitality and tourism oriented region.
The region has significant agricultural potential in the area of
the Neretva River valley, the strategic deep sea cargo Port of
Ploče (gateway of the future Pan-European corridor Vc), the
Dubrovnik International Airport (over 62% of tourists arrive
by air), the leading Mediterranean port for cruise ships in the
city of Dubrovnik, developing mariculture sector in the
prestine Mali Ston Bay and active production of high quality
wines and shellfish on the Pelješac peninsula and Konavle.
Dubrovnik’s breathtaking medieval Old Town and spectacular
southern Adriatic coastline has developed the city of
Dubrovnik and the whole region into an elite European and
world tourism destination. While preserving the beautiful
coastline and nature, the tourism sector is definitely a
strategic industry for the region and is continually
developing, including the upgrading of resorts & hotel
capacities, promoting health and
recreational tourism, and increasing synergy between
agricultural and tourism development.
Elite tourism is in the process of developing potential for
more nautical marinas and new golf projects throughout the
region.
The Dubrovnik Neretva Region is a relatively small county
with a population of 122,870 inhabitants; hence,
administrative resources are limited. However, the highly
educated populace and experience with international clients
adds to
the region’s attractiveness.
Dubrovnik has many friends around the world who are able to
supplement the region’s limitations and provide potential
investors with the required expertise to realize any
mutually beneficial investment project. The prestigious
Rochester Institute of Technology, one of the largest private
universities in the U.S., opened a branch campus in Dubrovnik
in 1997.
As a truly multicultural and multinational destination, the
Dubrovnik Neretva Region offers a remarkable opportunity to
experience and benefit from the Mediterraneanlifestyle and
cultural traditions that can be turned into
profitable business projects in today’s globalized world.
