April 14, 2019 - Putting Croatian adventure tourism on the map, with the biggest welcome in the world. Day 19 of this incredible 2011 adrenaline trip covering 2,500 km along the Croatian coast.
The World's Biggest Welcome, an ambitious adventure tourism project in 2011 in Croatia enters Day 19 of this 2019 appreciation of one of the finest tourism promotion projects ever in Croatia.
The plan? To showcase the diversity and fabulous offer of adventure tourism in Croatia by following a GPS route the length of the Croatian coast in the shape of the word 'Welcome' - thereby creating the biggest welcome in the world from a hospitable tourism country.
Day 19 moved by kayak from Novalja to Veli Rat.
50 kilometres for the day: And really, just 50 km by from Novalja to Veli Rat by kayak to complete the 'L' in 'Welcome'.
Day 19 started from a rather peaceful Novalja.
