March 27, 2019 - Šibenik, Croatia, will host the first International Scientific Conference Proceed with Care - Living with Tourism from May 2nd to May 5th

Co-existence with tourism and sustainable heritage management, and tourism in the areas of valuable cultural and natural heritage with an emphasis on world heritage under the protection of UNESCO will be the main topics of the conference Proceed with Care – Living with Tourism.

In Šibenik, Croatia, the International Scientific Conference - Proceed with Care will be held for the first time from May 2nd to May 5th organized by The National Association for Interdisciplinary Activities in the Field of Heritage and Tourism. In the Croatian National Theatre of Šibenik, world-renowned experts will address the important issue of the growing conflict between excessive tourism and the protection of the cultural environment, historic cities, monuments and sites, especially those listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The conference will bring together relevant local and foreign experts from the scientific fields and will be held under the patronage of the Croatian Commission for UNESCO, the Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Croatia, and with the partnership of the Croatian National Tourist Board and the City of Šibenik. The main goal of the Proceed with Care conference is to bring together researchers and experts from around the world to find solutions to the sustainable tourism growth of the world's capital of tourism through shared awareness, knowledge and experience. The conference will present the latest academic and scientific research, field research, strategies, techniques and tools.

How to organize "co-existence" with tourism in the capitals of culture

The main idea of ​​the conference Proceed with Care is “co-existence with tourism”. In Šibenik we will have the opportunity to listen to the world's leading experts in the field of preservation of cultural heritage. Many keynote speakers will share their knowledge and experience: Yonca Erkan, Michael Turner, Ludwig Thorsten, Antonio Miguel Nogués-Pedregal, Yoel Mansfeld, Benno Albrecht, Juan Manuel Corso Sarmiento, Cristina Jover Fontanals, Mar Santamaria, Dimitri Ioannides and other regional experts. Two main thematic units will be covered; first will be the strategies and techniques of comprehensive planning and design of tourism territories and infrastructure as a tool for sustainable management of both; tourism and heritage, especially those listed by UNESCO as World Heritage. The second category refers to communication strategies and techniques for implementation of sustainable planning and design solutions where the strategy of positioning the heritage of tourist destination and defining its brand architecture will be discussed. The aim of the conference is also to inform the representatives of all institutions that make executive decisions on the preservation of spatial and cultural resources, as well as on the development and implementation of sustainable tourism, from state to local administration, local communities to entrepreneurs in culture and tourism.

Why Croatia, why Šibenik?

On UNESCO's list, Croatia has an important position, a small country with 10 recognizable world’s heritage sites of UNESCO. Croatia largely depends on the tourism economy, and that is also another reason why we all need to make efforts in the field of excessive tourism, and its negative effects on the beauty and uniqueness of natural diversity and inherited cultural identity. Šibenik is a town with two monuments on the UNESCO World Heritage List, The Cathedral of St James and Fortress of St. Nicolas. In addition, it has a unique historical core, and an environment rich in natural and cultural heritage, tangible and intangible. It is also a tourist town that is now in a position to maintain a balanced relationship between growing tourism and preserving the identity of the city and its inherited cultural and natural values.

Without sustainability in tourism, experience as a foundation of destination tourism offering will disappear

Many places from UNESCO’s list, such as Dubrovnik, Plitvice Lakes, Venice or Barcelona, are threatened by seemingly insurmountable challenges that could soon be captured by other Croatian coastal towns as well. Many efforts are being made to identify and prevent potential problems in time, and for the existing ones to find adequate management of visitors and destinations. Therefore, the Proceed with Care – Living with Tourism Conference has a goal to become a permanent gathering of world’s authorities, relevant authors and researchers, and at the same time, has a goal to position Croatia as an initiator in the field of the preservation of material and non-material heritage. During the conference, all participants will be offered free access to the Šibenik City Museum. Secure your Early Bird ticket until April 1, 2019. More information https://www.proceedwithcare.org/

As Morski writes on the 21st of March, 2019, the first conference regarding the construction of a brand new ferry dock in the port of Kaprije has been held at Šibenik's city hall, handled by the Port Authority of Šibenik-Knin County.

The total value of the island's ferry dock project currently stands at over 11 million kuna, of which 9.3 million kuna is being financed by European Union funds, 1.6 million kuna is being co-financed by the Croatian Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure, head by Oleg Butković, while the Port Authority of Šibenik-Knin County is participating in the project with a bit more than 42,000 kuna.

The details of the new Kaprije project were presented to those gathered by the director of the competent port authority, Željko Dulibić, who pointed out that the new pier will be 55 meters long, with a surface measurement of 330 square metres, and will allow for vessels with deeper beams that are less susceptible to the impact of winds to dock, and so that the island of Kaprije's inhabitants will be better connected to the mainland.

The location on which the ferry dock is set to be constructed is located in an area which is managed by by the Port Authority of Šibenik-Knin County and is located about 700 metres northwest of the centre of Kaprije.

The main objectives of the project are to improve the traffic connections of the island of Kaprije with the mainland City of Šibenik and the other islands which belong to the Šibenik archipelago, improve traffic safety within the centre of the bay and Kaprije, improve the access of Kaprije's residents to their respective workplaces, education facilities, medical facilities and other such locations which typically lie on the mainland, and reduce traffic congestion and noise as well as aim to improve overall traffic safety within the centre of the bay and Kaprije.

The current foreseen deadline for the completion of this infrastructure project is summer 2020.

As Morski writes on the 18th of March, 2019, yesterday one of the most important gastronomic congresses in the Republic of Croatia - the Chefs' Stage, began. The gastronomic event has been taking place in the historic Dalmatian city of Šibenik from the 18th to the 19th of March, and has been attended by the State Secretary of the Ministry of Tourism, Frano Matušić.

This Šibenik-based gastro event, which brings together some of the greatest names of both the Croatian and the international gastro-scene, has created discussions on a number of issues related to gastronomy and the hospitality sector, with the aim of linking those who work in tourism, hoteliers, manufacturers, suppliers, influencers, and all other types of professionals within the industry, as well as all enthusiasts of a high quality gastronomic scene.

At the very beginning of Šibenik's Chefs' Stage, the importance of gastronomy for Croatian tourism was pointed out by the longtime Croatian Minister of Tourism, Gari Cappelli:

''As many as 93 percent of tourists take part in some kind of ''special experience of food and drink'' during their trip, suggesting that today, gastronomy is a piece of content that can significantly affect the perception of an entire destination and influence the level of satisfaction guests have with their overall tourist experience. Croatia is successfully building its image as a high quality gastronomic destination, which is best acknowledged by our recognition by the world renowned Michelin and Gault & Millau guides, and with further connectivity with local producers and building ''stories and experiences'' related to our eno-gastronomic products, Croatia can become one of the gastro icons of Europe,'' Capelli stated.

During the two day Chefs' Stage, there were numerous panel discussions, masterclasses with well-known chefs, and lectures on gastronomy with the beautiful backdrop of Šibenik adding to the ambience. Among other things, the panel related to the project of linking the food-processing sector and the tourism sector through the establishment of local production systems and the territorial branding of the Republic of Croatia as a recognisable gourmet destination. It is a project aimed at positioning Croatia as a gastro icon affirmed through local foods, authentic tastes, and diverse cultural heritage, and for that purpose an action plan for the development of gastro tourism will soon be presented.

The panel titled "What Croatia needs" was attended by Secretary of State Frano Matušić, who himself emphasised the fact that gastronomy is one of the foundations of the development of year-round tourism. He said that according to research by TOMAS Summer 2017, gastronomy was highlighted as one of the main motivators for the arrival of guests in Croatia. Namely, according to that piece of research, as many as 29 percent of respondents emphasised gastronomy as a motive for making Croatia their choice.

''A large contribution will be given by the Competence centre which will, through networking and cooperation with powerful foreign centres, contribute to strengthening the quality of education in the tourism and hospitality trade, which will ultimately affect the quality of our country's gastronomic offer,'' concluded Matušić.

The second edition of the largest gastronomic congress in this part of Europe - Chefs' Stage, brought 50 Croatian and 33 international chefs and other professionals together in Šibenik over a two day period, with products being presented by 70 Croatian producers and winemakers, along with the presence of representatives of various gastro-oriented international media.

For such a small country, the Republic of Croatia boasts a wealth of talent across all fields, from medicine to sport and from science to innovation and invention, Croats have given a huge amount to the rest of the world.

While Zadar's Luka Modrić might be the household name of Croatian sport, and the likes of Nikola Tesla and Mate Rimac might be the Croats best known to the world when it comes to science, technology and innovation, there are many more individuals in Croatia given less exposure who have a lot to offer the world, and on across an extremely varied platform consisting of all fields.

As SibenikIN writes on the 16th of March, 2019, a young woman from the historic Dalmatian city of Šibenik, Anastazija Verović, a student of FESB, along with her colleagues, has designed an innovative new device for helping the blind. Thanks to her creation, Anastazija and her team have received yet another award from Split-Dalmatia County for this project,.

Anastazija Verović, Lucija Visković, Ena Sarajlić and Ana Žunabović, are all Croats in their fifth year of graduates studies in computer science at FESB and they expressed their desire to help both the blind and other partially sighted people.

Their desire led this talented young group of Croats to create the e-Vision project, an intelligent device which functions as a bracelet and allows blind and visually impaired persons to move around in spaces. For this praiseworthy project, they have rightfully received a second award in the amount of 4,000 kuna from Split-Dalmatia County.

Split-Dalmatia County Prefect Blaženko Boban presented the presented the award to the talented group of FESB students as the brains behind the best student entrepreneurial and innovative project, according to a report from Dalmacija News.

The first prize of 5,000 kuna was awarded to the e-Agrar project, and was handed over to another talented group of Croats - Slaven Damjanovic, Martin Pervan, Dražen Pervan and Marko Calić. Otherwise, the obviously highly talented Anastazija is set to graduate computer science at FESB this coming summer.

As Slobodna Dalmacija/Marija Loncar writes on the 13th of March, 2019, when he first came to Šibenik at the end of 2017 to volunteer at the Youth in the EU, 30-year-old Francesco Lombardi from a town near Naples had no idea he'd experience love at first sight upon arrival.

He had never been to Šibenik before and as he says himself, if someone had told him that after completing his eight-month volunteer job he'd want to stay here and get a job - he wouldn't have believed them.

Such is life, and that's exactly what happened, as Francesco said though a smile, he ''clicked'' with Šibenik at first sight. In addition, Dalmatian, therefore local Sibenik girls, he adds, are the most beautiful girls in Europe.

"Maybe I liked the city because of the sea, because my hometown is near the sea. The nature is beautiful, the old part of town is one of the most beautiful in Dalmatia. Moreover, with its beauty, Šibenik can easily stand alongside many cities in the world. Šibenik is a real little paradise!'' says the young Italian.

Francesco completed his studies in political science in Naples. After graduating, he volunteered, wrote music reviews, visited festivals and did interviews with musicians for local newspapers. He's interested in civic initiatives, and at one time formed an association with friends, wanting to further activate the citizens of Naples in solving their problems.

In Šibenik, Francesco, together with a fellow Romanian volunteer, first worked on the "Development in society" project, which was later selected by the Agency for Mobility and EU Programs as one of the examples of good practice of youth work and for young people, he'll travel to Brussels to present the project should he receive a positive decision on it from Zagreb in the coming days.

After completing that volunteer work, he remained in Šibenik and got hired by the Youth in the EU association and now, with a group of young people from Italy, Poland and Portugal, he's dealing with the issues of the future of the European Union and the importance of voting in the elections, ie the question - do we want to be citizens of the EU or just citizens in the EU - explains Francesco.

The project will be presented to all participants on the April the 16th in Šibenik, and Francesco's paid internship will be completed along with the project at the end of May. When that's done, will he seek a new job and stay in Šibenik? He still isn't sure.

''I feel very good here. Will I be here for amother five months or until the end of my life? I don't know. At the moment, I'm enjoying it as much as I can, because here, I do what I love and what I've been educated to do,'' he says.

In his leisure time, he loves to listen to music, he also loves sport. He used to play football, basketball, tennis, water skiing, but in Šibenik his hobbies are mainly music and movies.

''I miss having a cinema in town. If we want to watch movies, we need to go to Dalmare, and not all young people here have cars, so it's not really that easy for everyone. In the city I watched some movies organised by Kinoklub Šibenik. It's an interesting initiative,'' he says.

Although he's been living in Šibenik for almost a year and a half, Francesco admits that he doesn't understand Croatian as well as he'd like to, and part of the guilt for that he says, is shared by Šibenik's locals themselves.

''First if all Croatian is really difficult, and part of the guilt lies with me because I haven't been trying hard enough, but part of the guilt is in the hands of Šibenik's locals because they all speak good English. Not just young people but older people as well. They also speak Italian, but when I go to small shops and bakeries I always speak Croatian.

When I go out or to some cafe and when I meet up with people, it's always in Croatian. People tell me I speak well. Here young people speak great English. In all the countries of former Yugoslavia, in Albania... I travelled a lot of Europe and saw that people in all Slavic countries speak English well, but in Croatia it really stands out.

Although, as Francesco states, Šibenik locals are rather temperamental, just like his compatriots, they are slightly distant when it comes to making contact with new people. It's not easy to knock down this wall, but when it comes down to it, their friendship is deep and guaranteed.

''The coffee is very good here. But in Italy, when you order coffee, they know what you mean, and here there's a list of all different types: short, long, large, small macchiato, coffee with milk... In Italy coffee is a quick drink, and here if you order a coffee you know it will take you two hours... Drinking and talking... Pomalo (taking it easy),''

Somehow Francesco also managed to get used to some local pizzas, though, as he himself says, they have nothing on Italian pizzas. First of all because of the mozzarella, a cheese that his hometown is known for and without which there can be no real pizza.

''It's like going to Naples for a burek,'' laughs the Italian, who appears to have no plans to leave this stunning Dalmatian city any time soon.

ZAGREB, March 9, 2019 - The municipal court in the coastal town of Šibenik is expected to deliver its ruling on Wednesday regarding the case of businessman Tomislav Horvatinčić who is charged with causing a fatal maritime accident in August 2011 when an Italian couple – Francesco and Marinella Salpietro – were killed.

On Friday, both the prosecution and the defence held their closing statements, with the prosecution suggesting that Horvatinčić should be found guilty and given a prison sentence, whereas his attorneys insisted on their client's innocence.

This has been his second retrial after he was jailed to 20 months in prison with three years' probation following the first trial in 2017. After the appeals of the prosecution and the defence were upheld, Horvatinčić went on a retrial in 2018 and he was then acquitted. However, in May 2018, the Zadar County Court's Appeals Chamber quashed the acquittal and ordered the second retrial.

The Appeals Chamber said that the presiding judge in the first retrial committed major breaches of the penal code as the reasons for the acquittal were significantly contradictory, which was why the Chamber could not examine the verdict, and that the judge's acceptance of syncope, a temporary loss of consciousness was particularly contradictory, which was the argument clearing Horvatinčić of the charge of killing the Salpietro couple.

The accident occurred near Primošten on 6 August 2011 when Horvatinčić, hit the sailboat of Francesco and Marinella Salpietro from Padua while he travelling at a speed of 26.3 knots in his speedboat, killing the couple.

More news on the Horvatinčić case can be found in the News section.

As Frane Saric/VL/Poslovni Dnevnik writes on the 24th of February, 2019, a research and exploration vessel sailed to Šibenik-Knin County, along with all of its modern and sophisticated equipment, in order to properly track what is happening in the sea in that area of Dalmatia.

The Nature of Šibenik-Knin County (Priroda) public institution, in cooperation with the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries in Split has begun with numerous activities of scientific monitoring in the area of ​​the ecological network "Natura 2000 Ušće Krke", covering the area from Skradinski buk to the historic St. Nicholas Fort.

Šibenik-Knin County reported on the move and pointed out that the well-equipped IB BIOS DVA exploratory vessel is 36 metres in length, and is currently in Šibenik's waters. With an array of highly sophisticated equipment, it can explore complex physical, chemical and biological processes going on under the sea in the area.

"This important research, as part of the project worth more than 26 million kuna, will be carried out by a large number of scientists from the field of physical, chemical and biological oceanography of the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries, and this will showcase the situation in the Natura area under the great pressure of tourism, maritime traffic, and construction,'' said Anita Babačić Ajduk of the aforementioned public institution.

The results of the monitoring will, as the county has already stated, serve as the basis for the popular-scientific presentation and an attractive exhibition in the city's future visitor centre.

The sheer importance of scientific research as the first step in tourism valorisation projects in this area was greatly emphasised, and Šibenik-Knin County has stated that the contract is worth 500,000 kuna. The contract is part of a local tourism valorisation project, which includes sampling and carrying out an analysis of the data with the aim of making an initial assessment of the status of the biological and oceanological indicators in that area.

The aim of the project is to preserve the biological and landscape diversity of Šibenik's underwater area, increase the area's attractiveness and educational capacity, and improve the tourist and economic potential, as was  reported from Šibenik-Knin County.

Through this project, there will, as has already been mentioned, be more visitor infrastructure arranged, and a range of new tourist products will be created with the help of the upcoming introduction of brand new educational and information content.

The NCP Šibenik Shipyard has agreed to build a new vessel model for Norwegian fishers – a hybrid aluminium catamaran. The months-long negotiations have been completed and the contract was signed for the construction of the new type of ship for the Norwegian mariculture market, reports Jutarnji List on February 21, 2019.

“Given the entry of a Slovenian investor into the ownership of the NCP shipyard, CroNoMar hopes for further successful cooperation. We have met the new owners and we are looking forward to increasing production for international markets,” says Ana Zajc, senior project advisor at CroNoMar, adding that it is very important for these projects as well as for all the partners involved that the situation in the shipyard is stabilized.

The ship in question is a 13.75-metre-long aluminium catamaran. This model has a significantly higher contracted value than other ships delivered until now by the NCP. Although the basic designs were made by the Norwegian company Marin Design AS, the quality, competitiveness, professionalism and experience of Croatian shipbuilders were crucial in bringing the construction of this hybrid vessel to Croatia.

The financial value is not the only significant feature of this project. It is the intention of Croatian and Norwegian partners to create the possibility of a multi-year production of this type of vessel, for both Norwegian and other mariculture markets.

“Norway is undertaking major efforts to reduce emissions of CO2, nitrogen oxides and other carbon substances. The intention of Moen Marin AS, which has commissioned the ship, is to reduce the gas emissions by using electric motors whenever possible. Moen Marin AS has been building ships in Croatia for years. We have chosen Croatia for the implementation of this innovative project due to our positive experiences from previous projects and the combination of expert skills, competitive pricing and significant capacities that Croatia has,” said Vegar Livik, the project engineer at Moen Marin AS.

Earlier this year, the shipyard has signed new contracts for several other vessels which the Croatian partners will produce for the Norwegian client. With these new contracts, the Šibenik shipyard will achieve a remarkable result of making a total of 100 vessels for the global mariculture markets in the last ten years.

According to data provided by NCP Group director Roko Vuletić, NCP completed last year with 15 supplied catamarans to the Norwegian customer, and similar production volume is expected in 2019. “We have been monitoring the trends in ship electrification as a technology for the future, with a view of reducing the emissions of harmful gases. We believe that this project will enable us to acquire the necessary practical knowledge for the installation of electrical systems and that the acquired competences will be used in the future projects of electrification of the propulsion systems on ships,” said Vuletić.

Since the beginning of exports to Norwegian customers, including in 2018, as many as 91 ships were delivered from the Šibenik NCP shipyard, eight from Tehnomont in Pula, 11 from the Oštro shipyard in Kaštela, and one ship by Intelligent Marine Solution from Šibenik. The value of all exported vessels in these ten years to clients in international mariculture markets is over 100 million euros.

Cities in 4K reaches Sibenik on February 19, 2019, with a quality video to match this underrated Dalmatian gem in its video series of Croatian destinations.

It was the great surprise of the summer of 2017 for me. 

Although I had had very brief visits to the city fo Sibenik in previous years, it was the first time I had actually spent time in the old city and visited its fortresses. 

I was stunned. While all the media was raving about Dubrovnik, Split, Pula and Zadar as the top coastal city destinations, here was a city out of the limelight, but which had absolutely everything to offer. And more. My first impressions of that visit were captured on TCN. 

The city has been gradually attracting more international media attention in the last couple of years, and the latest addition is sure to be popular - the team from Cities in 4K have produced another fabulous video. Sit back and enjoy the show after reading their description below.

Ten European cities have united in the RetaiLink project to revive their historical core by strengthening retail sales. They include Fermo (Italy), Pecs (Hungary), Bistrita (Romania), Liberec (Czech Republic), Hengelo and Hoogeveen (Netherlands), Basingstoke and Deane (United Kingdom), and Croatia’s Šibenik, reports Goran Rihelj for HRTurizam on February 19, 2019. 

The vast majority of small and medium-sized cities have trouble keeping retail shops alive within city centers. The causes are different for individual cities, but the common themes run along the lines of shopping centers opening in the suburbs and beyond the borders of cities, offering a unified retail offer along with entertainment, easy access to cars and free parking, growing online sales and consumer changes.

The city of Šibenik is primarily affected by the decline in retail sales, because, in addition to the common problems of small and medium-sized cities in the EU, they have additional issues of traffic, especially in the number of parking places in the city center, the lack of large sales spaces, expensive reconstruction of protected objects and the pressure to apartmentize the area, which takes up space and raises rent for traders.

An action plan that focuses on the cooperation of city administration and retailers, incentives for businesses in the old city core, encouraging traders to increase competences, reducing the seasonality effect, marketing activities to increase the attractiveness of the city center and measures to improve the accessibility of the city center, has been made.

The town of Šibenik has already defined some of the measures for facilitating business for entrepreneurs operating in the area of the old city core, and now, as part of the entire project, has the desire to revitalize the old city core through manifestations.

Thus, the project "Idemo do Grada" (Let's Go to the Town) was created, which aims to stimulate the manifestation and organization of cultural-entertainment and eno-gastronomic content exclusively in the area of the old city core as a cultural and historical complex. 

Focusing the content on the old town, a public call for non-refundable funds from the Šibenik Tourist Board was also announced and relates exclusively to events in the pre-season, i.e., in March, April, and May, and in the post-season, respectively in October and November.

This is an interesting initiative and project of the Šibenik Tourist Board, because the old city core is one of the most valuable resources of the city itself. If the town is deserted and does not offer content within the old city center, then there is a massive flaw in the development of Croatia’s tourism. 

The old city core should be the pulse of every tourist destination, shouldn't it?
