Biograd Boat Show, Croatia’s largest boat show will include a comprehensive congress programme organised by the Croatian Chamber of Economy.
This year, the Croatian Chamber of Economy (HGK) is organising ‘Nautical Days’ (Dani nautike) for the first time, a congress programme for all companies and businesses operating in the nautical tourism sector, which will be held as part of the Biograd Boat Show in Biograd na Moru on the 19th and 20th October 2017, reports eZadar on October 16, 2017.
The aim of the first Nautical Days is to take full advantage of the nautical sector’s presence in one place at the end of the nautical season to educate, communicate and collect information on key topics affecting maritime and nautical tourism.
”Nautical tourism is one of the key products of Croatian tourism which has enormous potential and competitive advantage.Given the fact that the Croatian Chamber of Economy (HGK) brings together five associations directly related to nautical tourism (Association of Marinas at HGK, Association of Tourist Shipping Companies, Association of Small Boat-builders at HGK, Association of Charter Boat Accommodation Service Providers and the Diving Tourism Association), we have organized the central annual nautical tourism summit where we will discuss all current topics and set guidelines for further development of this branch of tourism,” said Vice President of Tourism, Trade and Finance at HGK, Josip Zaher.
