Imotski: A Winter Fairytale, A White Wonderland (VIDEO)

Snow looks good on you, Imotski.

Remember that winter cyclone that hit Dalmatia earlier this week, transforming the region into a winter wonderland? While it came without warning, it turned Dalmatia’s typically Mediterranean scenery into something out of a winter fairytale – and we are not complaining. 

One town hit the hardest by the snow bomb was Imotski, and after some 45 centimetres of snow earlier this week, the Inland Dalmatian town has metamorphosed into a scene out of a holiday film. 

The idyllic winter scenes were captured by Zvone Martinović, who filmed his literal ‘walk in a winter wonderland’ in the town on Wednesday, reports Slobodna Dalmacija on January 11, 2019.

That famous lake looks a bit different, huh?

Otherwise, the Imotski region recorded 9,917 arrivals with 73,830 overnight stays in 2018, which is an increase of 22.6 percent in arrivals, and 27 percent in overnight stays compared to 2017. 

Last year, 260 accommodation facilities were registered in the area of Imotski, most of which were holiday homes. In the same period in 2017, there were 173, which means that 90 new objects appeared in just one year. The best news yet is that in 2019, the region expects to reach 300.

The Imotski region has only two hotels and several accommodations, while the rest is made up of private vacation homes, either old or newly built, with a very impressive infrastructure, including swimming pools, gyms, children’s playgrounds and marked trails for recreation.

“Of course we are satisfied with these results, and the approaches of people who provide services. But next year we will show where we are because every year there are new trends in this form of tourism, which we now offer. Will the guests be satisfied enough with the peace, pools, and walks or will new clients seek new content?

Therefore, we also have to keep up with the trends in the offer, so we have emphasized implementing cycling paths. Cycling tourism is now at the top of the tourist offer in the world, and we have beautiful destinations where these trails can be arranged.

We plan to create about 400 kilometers of cycling paths this year and have our renters certified as cycling friendly, which will surely be a delight to our guests.

Then the construction of themed trails in archaeological tourism, because the Imotski region has a lot of these sites, and a string of signals to OPGs, winemakers, and healthy food producers, so that tourists can feel the charm of the Imotski region,” concluded Luka Kolovrat, director of the Imotksi Tourist Board.
