We’ve been writing about the Croatian Mountain Rescue Service (HGSS) and their social media campaign so much, we’re starting to sound like enamoured groupies. It’s just hard not to giggle over their smart, sassy captions and ideas – starting with that public announcement at the beginning of the season, followed by humorous instructions they posted on Facebook and Twitter on multiple occasions.
Their latest zinger comes in form of a photo published earlier today on Facebook. The image shows a member of HGSS from below, as he’s hanging on to a helicopter – pulling off that uniform pretty well, if you ask me – with the caption saying “Dear tourists, this panoramic flight you do want to miss”.
No matter how much HGSS tries to interact with tourists, locals seem to follow them even more ardently. A commenter stated that we have a rescue service with the best sense of humour in the world (her: “I should get lost on purpose once just to get to see that panoramic view”; HGSS: “Please don’t”), while another suggested this was maybe the only panoramic flight people travelling on a budget can afford. #flipflopstyle.
We’re all fans of your work, HGSS, both in the field and online. Never change.
