April the 30th, 2022 - The Easter weekend of 2022 brought with it some excellent results for the pre-season and with it high hopes for the height of this year's summer tourist season. The Croatian Arena Hospitality Group has done very well indeed.
As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, for the Croatian Arena Hospitality Group, the recent Easter weekend met all of their expectations and about 15,000 overnight stays were realised. The largest share of that number was made up of guests from Germany, Austria and neighbouring Slovenia, but there was also a pronounced increase in domestic guests. Guests come mostly in their own individual arrangements, while a third arrived with organised groups. The result for the Easter weekend of 2022 is many times higher than last year and is a great introduction to the season after the past two pandemic-dominated years.
Before Easter, the hotels Park Plaza Histria in Pula and Park Plaza Belvedere in Medulin were opened. The Park Plaza Verudela settlement in Pula has also now been opened, and the Arena Grand Kazela camp in Medulin is open all year round, so that guests can enjoy 365 days a year in rest and relaxation. The Arena Holiday Hotel in Medulin and the Arena Stoja, Arena Medulin and Arena Stupice camps were also open for Easter.
"Thanks to our experience of over 40 years in the hotel and catering/hospitality industry, we know that guest satisfaction is a priority. The primary goal of the Croatian Arena Hospitality Group's facilities is to provide superior service to our guests in an authentic natural environment. The most important event of this season is the opening of the Grand Hotel Brioni in early May. We can't wait to present this new hotel, a unique experience, an excellent gastronomic offer and beautiful views of the sea and the Brijuni islands,'' said Manuela Kraljevic of the company.
In its portfolio, the Croatian Arena Hospitality Group has its own brands Arena Hotels & Apartments and Arena Campsites. As part of the prestigious Park Plaza Hotel Group Limited, it runs and develops the international hotel brands Park Plaza and art’otel facilities across 18 Central and Eastern European countries. The company is opening the first art’otel hotel right here in Croatia at the end of this year in the City of Zagreb, and it will boast 118 rooms under the name art’otel Zagreb.
Guests can visit a total of 29 facilities with more than 10,000 accommodation units in Istria, soon in Zagreb, Nassfeld in Austria and in major cities in Germany and Central and Eastern Europe - Belgrade, Berlin, Cologne, Nuremberg and Budapest.
At the peak of the season, the Croatian Arena Hospitality Group has over 1,800 employees, and the entire group has 700 full-time employees throughout the year. With the expansion of business, the need for the constant employment of quality staff is growing, as is the need to expand the company's team of seasonal workers. A professional work environment, stimulating conditions, a positive atmosphere and the loyalty of employees are the result of this company investing in human resources.
"Here in Croatia, the Arena Hospitality Group is present with more than 8,500 accommodation units through a diverse range of accommodation facilities, from hotels and resorts to campsites located in the most prominent tourist regions of Croatia, Istria, and Zagreb is now under development. We host 340,000 guests a year in Croatia, and the top service we provide wouldn't be possible without the best team of people behind our success,'' said Manuela Kraljevic.
