February 26, 2021 – As every previous year, the Istrian town of Porec prepares for the tourist season, organizing free online education for renters, who were very interested in the offer this year.
This week, the tourist boards of Poreč, Tar-Vabriga, Funtana, Kaštelir-Labinci, and Vižinada, organized two free online lectures for renters entitled "Preparing apartments and holiday homes for the 2021 season" and "Doing business in new conditions – new normal." The educations were intended for all those who will be doing business in the 2021 season, whether they are beginners or experienced renters.
'Renters want to follow new trends in tourism'
As the organizers say, renters were very interested and filled all of 100 available places for the first lecture in just a few hours. For the second, the participants registered very quickly as well, thus filling another 100 positions.
"We can definitely say that renters want to follow new trends and current events in tourism. They want to educate themselves and offer the guest 'something more,' which ultimately makes a difference. The educations aim to connect and provide information on current trends in the field of tourism," says the Poreč Tourist Board.

Such educational lectures have been organized in Poreč for many years. Namely, the Poreč Tourist Board regularly organizes free educational lectures for renters from its area before the start of preparations for the upcoming tourist season. Considering that they signed an association agreement with the tourist boards of Funtana, Tar-Vabriga, Kaštelir-Labinci, and Vižinada recently, this year, they organized educations for renters together for the first time.
Arranging tourist facilities and adapting to new business conditions
Respecting the current epidemiological measures, the lectures were held through the online platform Zoom, and the lecturers were Meri Čizmić Kraljević and Anamarija Cicarelli from the counseling center for renters Interligo d.o.o.
The training focused on the types of guests, arranging facilities, additional facilities for guests, how to present facilities and destinations, communication with guests, advertising, social networks and websites, and how to present and reach guests without a portal.
Given the current situation, the lecturers guided the participants through the implementation of COVID-19-related measures. They also explained how to treat guests in case of suspicion of infection.

Of course, they also talked about current topics, such as legal regulations for renters and their obligations. Besides, they talked about aligning the facility with market requirements while maintaining the comfort for guests, what they need to have in the facility, the e-Visitor system, and cancellations.
The renters' significant response to these educations is another proof that the tourist boards of Poreč are moving in the right direction to achieve good tourist results this year.
"We do our best to support our renters, and we are sure that our efforts will be rewarded with satisfied guests," concludes Poreč Tourist Board.
