Croatia has once again confirmed its position on the world tourist map by organizing a prestigious event in the heart of London. Held on December 12, 2024, at the elegant Queen's Club venue, the event attracted more than 70 distinguished British editors, journalists, and representatives of tour operators. Organized by the Croatian National Tourist Board in London, the Dubrovnik Tourist Board, and the Ruđer Bošković Airport, this event highlighted the growing interest of the British market in Croatian destinations, especially Dubrovnik.


Exclusive Promotion of Croatian Tourism


The tourism promotion, designed to showcase the best of Croatia, reflected the wealth of natural beauty, historical heritage, and cultural values that Croatia offers. Dubrovnik, as the flagship of Croatian tourism, took center stage in the presentation, drawing special attention due to its unique historical architecture and preserved heritage.


Dubrovnik in the Focus of the British Market


Miroslav Drašković, the director of the Dubrovnik Tourist Board, emphasized the city's commitment to sustainable tourism. "Our goal is to preserve the authenticity of Dubrovnik by developing tourism models that protect natural and cultural resources while providing an unforgettable experience for visitors. Through strategic projects, we are focused on long-term sustainability and creating an all-year-round offer that will satisfy all visitor profiles."


The Importance of Media Visibility


British media recognized Croatia as an attractive destination, as evidenced by the presence of representatives from renowned outlets such as the BBC, The Times, and The Guardian. Bisera Fabrio, the director of the Croatian National Tourist Board in London, emphasized that Croatia is increasingly standing out as a destination that offers a unique combination of natural beauty, historical landmarks, and rich gastronomic offerings.


Gastronomic Pleasure and Awards


Special attention was given to the presentation of Croatian wines and gastronomic specialties. Guests enjoyed authentic delicacies, including Dalmatian prosciutto, cheeses, and top-quality wines from southern Dalmatia. As an addition, a prize game was organized, and the lucky winner, British journalist Chris Leadbeater, won return airline tickets and a luxurious stay in Dubrovnik.


Strategies for Future Growth


This event is only part of a broader strategy to strengthen Croatia's presence in the British market. Further activities are planned, including cooperation with British tour operators and additional promotions aimed at presenting lesser-known but equally attractive destinations in Croatia.


With strong support from tourist and local communities, Croatia continues to attract international attention and solidify its status as a destination offering the perfect blend of history, culture, and nature.

Tourism desk

Our Travel Desk was born out of a long-standing passion for travel, discovering new places, and serious journalism. Behind every article stand people who have been living tourism for decades – as travelers, tourism workers, guides, hosts, editors, and reporters. For more than thirty years, destinations, seasonal trends, infrastructure development, changes in travelers’ habits, and everything that turns a trip into an experience – and not just a ticket and an accommodation reservation – have been closely followed. These experiences are transformed into articles conceived as a companion to the reader: honest, informed, and always on the traveler’s side.

At the Travel Desk, we write from the perspective of someone who has truly walked the cobblestones of old towns, taken local buses, waited for the ferry in peak season, and searched for a hidden café in a small alley far from the postcards. Every destination is observed from multiple angles – how travelers experience it, what the locals say about it, what stories are hidden in museums and monuments, but also what the real quality of accommodation, beaches, transport links, and amenities is. Instead of generic descriptions, the focus is on concrete advice, real impressions, and details that are hard to find in official brochures.

Special attention is given to conversations with restaurateurs, private accommodation hosts, local guides, tourism workers, and people who make a living from travelers, as well as those who are only just trying to develop lesser-known destinations. Through such conversations, stories arise that do not show only the most famous attractions but also the rhythm of everyday life, habits, local cuisine, customs, and small rituals that make every place unique. The Travel Desk strives to record this layer of reality and convey it in articles that connect facts with emotion.

The content does not stop at classic travelogues. It also covers topics such as sustainable tourism, off-season travel, safety on the road, responsible behavior towards the local community and nature, as well as practical aspects like public transport, prices, recommended neighborhoods to stay in, and getting your bearings on the ground. Every article goes through a phase of research, fact-checking, and editing to ensure that the information is accurate, clear, and applicable in real situations – from a short weekend trip to a longer stay in a country or city.

The goal of the Travel Desk is that, after reading an article, the reader feels as if they have spoken to someone who has already been there, tried everything, and is now honestly sharing what is worth seeing, what to skip, and where those moments are hidden that turn a trip into a memory. That is why every new story is built slowly and carefully, with respect for the place it is about and for the people who will choose their next destination based on these words.
