"Croatia Feeds", the first campaign of the new year, is being carried out in various European markets to motivate travel to the country through intriguing stories. 

Today, the Head Office of the Croatian Tourist Board (HTZ) held the 7th meeting of the Tourism Council in which, among other things, members of the Council have adopted an annual work program and financial plan for the Croatian Tourist Board for 2017.

The latest tourism statistics for Croatia were presented at a meeting of the Tourism Council.

Zagreb is once again up for the running of ‘Best Christmas Market 2017’. Voting is now open.

By August 21, more than 65 million overnight stays have been made by tourists in Croatia this year.

Good results for Croatian tourism promotion campaigns.

Finally, we see some great promotion of Croatia during large sports events. Congrats to the Ministry of tourism, Croatian National Tourist Board and partners on a great initiative. Keep it up!

Rumours about Ultra Europe leaving Split are getting louder and the reason is simple. Ministry of tourism and Tourist Boards are just not willing to increase their support.

But that´s not all. You can´t leave Hinterland hungry, because that would make the hosts angry. Even the dishes have heroic names, so it is easy to become a hero after you eat ´arambaši´. And for the way back, they will pack some prosciutto (pršut) and Sinj donuts (uštipak) made for all kind of occasions.

After great promotion of the 300th Sinj Alka in the U.S. and Brussels, the French Le Figaro reports about the Alka in the last edition of its Magazine issue on 10 pages. Great cooperation of the Croatian National Tourist Board, Tourist Board office in France and Sinj tourist board to host the journalists from France.

The Croatian National Tourist Board informs about the reportage on its website:

"Journalists of the Le Figaro present Sinj Alka as the oldest knight tournament on the European continent with a long tradition of unbelievable 300 years. The report says, it is an important social event, which makes all the inhabitants of the region very proud and which is being broatcast by the national television.

Reporters point out that this significant event has nothing to do with organized folklore for tourists, but is an old knight´s game dedicated to the patron of Sinj - Lady of Sinj, which according to tradition helped defeat the Ottomans. They add, that Alka is an eternal reminder of the heroism of the ancestors and an eternal vow of loyalty and respect.

Le Figaro Magazine is one of the most influential magazines in France, with 2 million readers and more than 400 thousand copies sold. Commercial price of one-page ad in the magazine is more than 37 thousand EUR.
