WELCOME TO CROATIA! Dear Colleagues, Dear Guests, Welcome to Croatia, a country known for its amazing beauty and unforgettable scenery and its many different historical influences stretching all around its unusual shape, as if tying a knot of a beautiful red silk tie. We are proud to be your hosts in Dubrovnik, a unique symbol of culture, history and tradition, recognised and listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. This year the city celebrates its 75th anniversary of organized tourist guiding and we could not think of a better idea than to have all our European colleagues present here to celebrate with us. Dubrovnik and its region offer many interesting sites and lots of things to do - city walls, cobbled streets with monuments, palaces and churches at every corner, a welcoming and atmospheric new part of the city, rural regions known for excellent wine, food and folklore dances... We are delighted you have decided to come and experience one part of Croatia with us and we hope you will have nothing but pleasant memories from Dubrovnik. DOBRODOŠLI! - WELCOME!
