May 5, 2019 – Putting Croatian adventure tourism on the map, with the biggest welcome in the world. Day 44 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 44 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 44 moved from Makarska to Bol on Brač via kayak and bike.
Day 44 began from Makarska as Lacko and Cedo prepared the kayak in the sea.

The perfect photo opportunity.

And a bit of therapy.
After a bit of rest, the group painfully pedaled above Sumartin.
