May 1, 2019 – Putting Croatian adventure tourism on the map, with the biggest welcome in the world. Day 39 of this incredible 2011 adrenaline trip covering 2,500 km along the Croatian coast.
The World’s Biggest Welcome, an ambitious adventure tourism project in 2011 in Croatia enters Day 39 of this 2019 appreciation of one of the finest tourism promotion projects ever in Croatia.
The plan? To showcase the diversity and fabulous offer of adventure tourism in Croatia by following a GPS route the length of the Croatian coast in the shape of the word ‘Welcome’ – thereby creating the biggest welcome in the world from a hospitable tourism country.
Day 39 moved from Trilj to Omiš.
69 kilometres for the day: 45 km bike ride from Trilj to Zadvarje, 3 km of canyoning from Zadvarje to HE Cetina, 14 km of rafting from HE Cetina to Radmanove mlinice, and a 7 km kayak ride from Radmanove mlinice to Omiš to begin forming the ‘L’ in ‘Welcome’.
