Not a mass destination
“More and more tourists are coming looking for green and sustainable, and we have that. We try to capture the element of sustainability with the activities and European projects we implement. We are not a mass destination and I don’t think we will ever be”.
“The coexistence of our residents is important to us, what they can invest and get out of it. We will try to nurture the tradition found here,” said Alilović. She added that they are moving towards offering quality to every guest and creating sustainability. “This is a big difference compared to previous years. It is important that we stand behind what we offer,” she emphasised.
