Adriatic DMC Names New Head of Purchasing and Head of Product Development

Leading regional destination management company, Adriatic DMC has announced promotions for two employees; Matea Miloslavic and Nikolina Palavra.

Miloslavic is promoted from key account manager to head of purchasing and Palavra from account manager to head of product development for shore excursions.

Managing director, Srdjan Kristic said of the promotions, "The recognition our company receives for its professionalism, high service levels, and innovative travel products is in no small part thanks to the hard work and commitment of Matea and Nikolina who have delivered above and beyond for our cruise companies.

"Their promotions to newly created roles reflect Adriatic DMC's growth, Matea and Nikolina's invaluable experience and skills, and our commitment to continuing to deliver exceptional service to our partners. I'm delighted to have them on board and helping to steer our ship in our second decade of business."

Miloslavic joined Adriatic DMC in 2016 as a specialist in the company's operations department. Having previously worked in guest services for an international cruise company, she brought a wealth of industry knowledge. She quickly established strong relationships with partners and suppliers, helping to improve and develop new shore excursion programs that would become synonymous with Adriatic DMC.

Palavra's previous experience at luxury hotels stood her in good stead for the demands and pace of the busy shore excursion department when she joined Adriatic DMC in 2019.  Palavra handled cruise companies in Adriatic ports, progressing to account manager where she has most recently worked on shore excursion programs for some of the world's most exclusive cruise companies.
