May 2, 2019 – Putting Croatian adventure tourism on the map, with the biggest welcome in the world. Day 40 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 40 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 40 moved from Omiš to the Blaca Hermitage located on the southern side of Brač island.
34 kilometres for the day: 16 km kayak ride from Omiš to Supetar, followed by an 18 km bike ride from Supetar to Nerežišća and Blaca to continue forming the ‘L’ in ‘Welcome’.
Day 40 began by setting off from Omiš to the island of Brač.
Lacko and his team made it to Supetar.
Which was marked by one of Jadrolinija’s most famous ferries between Supetar and Split.

From Supetar, the group cycled towards Donji Humac.
But the traffic on Brač held them up.
Mislav tested out some of his stunts on the famous Brač rocks.
The group made it to a secret location on the island.

The group even had a free day on the island and decided to kayak from Sutivan to Šolta!
A key part of the project was promoting tourism, and the official website has details of the key places visited during the day.
