Leading regional destination management company (DMC), Adriatic DMC, won agency of the year at the 'Tourism Flower – Quality for Croatia' awards held at the Croatian Tourism Days conference in Sibenik.
Adriatic DMC operations director Ivan Gavranic and marketing and project manager, Kim Butigan, were on hand to collect the award at the annual conference organized by the Croatian Ministry of Tourism, Croatian National Tourist Board, and Croatian Chamber of Economy.
The award was presented to operations director Ivan Gavranic by Davor Filipovic, Minister for the economy and sustainable development. Croatia’s national broadcaster, HRT, aired the awards ceremony live on its main channel.
Adriatic DMC managing director, Srdjan Kristic, commented on the award: “I feel incredibly proud of my team and the service that they have delivered in such a challenging climate to achieve this prize. It's recognition of our commitment to providing travelers to Croatia with authentic and quality experiences but equally importantly, our commitment to operate responsibly in our destinations and communities.
“As we approach our tenth year of business, I can say with confidence that our team, their professionalism, and our services are second to none. We will continue to always strive to deliver innovative and authentic experiences for travelers that put Croatia's beauty, rich culture, and brilliant people, front and center.“
The Dubrovnik-based DMC has played a key role in the return to travel following the outbreak of the global pandemic, working closely with the world's leading cruise companies and local and national governments to facilitate cruising on Croatia's Adriatic Coast. Adriatic DMC's operations have resumed to pre-pandemic levels this summer and the company forecasts a bumper season for 2023.
Croatian Tourism Days took place across two days and brought together business leaders, politicians, and tourism industry professionals for a series of panel discussions, presentations, and workshops. The conference opened with the presentation of the Croatian National Tourist Board's Sustainable Tourism Strategy to 2030 and a panel on tourists of the future.
