April 21, 2019 – Putting Croatian adventure tourism on the map, with the biggest welcome in the world. Day 28 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 28 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 28 moved from NP Paklenica to Zadar by kayak and bike.
35 kilometres for the day: 10 km from Starigrad Paklenica to Ražanac by kayak, followed by a 25 km bike ride from Ražanac to Zadar to continue forming the ‘C’ in ‘Welcome’.
