May 4, 2019 - Putting Croatian adventure tourism on the map, with the biggest welcome in the world. Day 43 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 43 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 43 moved from Imotski to Makarska via Biokovo.
45 kilometres for the day: 30 km bike ride from Imotski to Turija, followed by 5 km on foot from Turija to Makarska to continue forming the ‘M’ in ‘Welcome’.
Day 43 started in Zagvozd. Marko stopped to have coffee at the Red Carpet cafe.
And it wouldn't be a trip to Imotski without noticing their biggest symbol - Mercedes.
