December 14, 2020 – State Secretary Tonči Glavina participated in the “Business panel on Tourism” as part of the online conference “Finance for Sustainable Growth” where, among other things, he stressed that the goal is to reduce seasonality in Croatian tourism by increasing the quality of tourist products and services.
As the Ministry of Tourism and Sport writes, the panel discussed financial instruments to recover tourism, Croatia’s entry into the euro area, and expectations for the upcoming tourist year.
State Secretary Tonči Glavina pointed out that Croatia will first have access to funds from the Recovery and Resilience Fund from the new multi-year financial perspective.
“Measures for the placement of these funds will be defined by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan coordinated by the Government of the Republic of Croatia. The Plan refers to the challenges facing the Republic of Croatia, i.e., strengthening economic and social resilience, mitigating social and economic effects of the crisis, and a contribution to the green and digital transition,” Glavina stressed.
The State Secretary also said at the panel that in the tourism sector, the goal of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan’s measures and reforms is to strengthen the competitiveness and resilience of Croatian tourism. The goal is to reduce seasonality in tourism by increasing the quality of tourist products and services and developing particular forms of tourism, i.e., the development of sustainable, innovative, and resilient tourism.
Glavina added that it is necessary to increase Croatian tourism’s sustainability and resilience by implementing reforms and activate investments that will have a positive impact on the development of new tourism products, the attraction of new market segments, and more even regional distribution of tourist traffic.
“By implementing the reforms and initiatives identified in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, the tourism sector will contribute to GDP growth during 2021 and beyond, which is extremely important for Croatia,” Glavina concluded.
