A new idea has been introduced for tourism awards, which will include joint awards for different categories such as tourist event of the year, tourist arrangement of the year, gastronomic experience of the year, hotel and camp of the year, and awards for active, cultural, nautical, business, rural, and health tourism. Additionally, awards will be given for unique accommodations and tourist destination of the year, known as the Champion of Croatian tourism.
Applications are currently being accepted for awards presented by the Croatian Tourist Board in the People in Tourism category. These awards include "Man - the Key to Success, Employee of the Year," the "Anton Štifanić", and the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Applications will be evaluated by a special committee comprising representatives from the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, the Croatian Tourist Board, and the Croatian Chamber of Commerce. The committee also includes representatives from the academic community, industry professionals, and stakeholders involved in developing sustainable, responsible, inclusive, affordable, innovative, year-round, resilient, competitive, and regionally balanced tourism.
