In the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the culture and event industry was the first to have its activity stopped, and precisely the entertainment industry will be the last to release the safety measures. With the work ban, theaters, cinemas, festivals, concerts, clubs, performers, DJs, congresses, conferences, weddings, fairs, sports events, and business of many production companies are at risk. Their activity is disabled, and the opening of the mentioned locations will be gradual, so to say, the last in the line.
The Croatian event industry counts around 2,000 entities employing 10,000 people. The revenue they make passes 4,5 billion kunas per year, which makes it one of the key parts of the economy, culture, and society as a whole. Besides having an essential role in the economy, the event industry is also crucial in the stabilization of life and maintaining people’s mental health.
“Many of today’s friendships, loves and socializing started in some of the events mentioned above. People of the same society share their culture, behavior, and mindset. It is crucial to initiate the activity of the entertainment industry that will give people back the feeling of freedom, educate them and make them laugh, dance, and entertain, but also sensitize them in terms of the mental health,” the Event Committee of the Glas Poduzetnika Association pointed out.
The Event Committee is a working group inside the Glas Poduzetnika Association and includes
most prominent Croatian representatives of the event industry and organizers of the most important domestic festivals, fairs, concerts, conferences, parties, and others. The Glas Poduzetnika Association is the leading representative of micro, small and medium-size entrepreneurs, self-employed, and skilled trades professionals today. It counts over 9,000 members gathered around the mutual goal of fighting to save the economy, for better quality of the entrepreneurial ambiance and long-term healthier and higher-quality society under the parole Croatia 2.0.
