HrTurizam reports that the Punat Tourist Board has provided an “AntiCOVID Safety kit” package to promote health and safety in this unpredictable time of the epidemic.

The safety kit was prepared in accordance with the Manual for Safe Stay in Croatia according to the recommendations issued by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports.

”In order to make it easier for our renters to choose to buy this product, we will distribute 2 AntiCOVID Safety kit packages to renters”, says Branko Karabaić, director of Punat Tourist Board and invites renters to personally pick up two free copies of the package in the tourist community.

“AntiCovid Safety kit” contains three products: Disposable three-layer medical face mask without filter – Type II, disposable protective latex gloves with powder, and antiseptic wet wipe for hygienic hand disinfection.

Commendable action of TZO Punat, which means a lot for the renters and the tourism sector in the town. The perception of security this year plays the most important role, of course with the precondition of a stable epidemiological situation.

Punat is a small town situated on the east coast of Puntarska draga (Puntar Bay), on the south coast of the island of Krk, only 8 km from the Town of Krk. The economic base once comprised agriculture, olive growing, fishing, sheep breeding, and shipbuilding, especially with wood; presently, the prevailing activity is tourism, especially nautical tourism, in addition to trade. The former activities that survived are fishing and sheep breeding, and almost every family is engaged in olive growing.

Thanks to the marina’s year-round operation and events such as the Croatia Cup regatta and Olive Days, Punat receives foreign visitors even after the end of the season. Improved beaches and parks, rich vegetation, hotels, guesthouses, holiday houses, the Punat Marina – home port to all those enjoying the beauties of the Croatian sea and islands – sports and recreation options (sailing, diving, skiing, windsurfing, tennis, aqua park, miniature golf, hiking, boccie), homemade food offered in numerous taverns and restaurants, and the cultural offer (especially on the islet of Košljun) make Punat a highly visited tourist center.

Recall, tourists who have stayed at least three nights in commercial accommodation will have more favorable antigen tests. The Ministry of Tourism and Sports has ensured the distribution of one million and 81 thousand antigen tests in regional public health institutes throughout Croatia, which are available to domestic and foreign tourists. More favorable antigen tests are available for tourists who have stayed at least three nights in commercial accommodation.

The Ministry of Tourism and Sports appealed for the price to be uniform in all counties and for a minimum estimated cost to be charged, which should not exceed 75 kuna.
