From individual tourists to congress guests and MICE industry which has evolved in recent years. And let’s not forget about the movie industry which has fallen in love with some Croatian gems (Hollywood has filmed movies like Star Wars, Robin Hood, Game of Thrones, etc. in Dubrovnik). No wonder, Croatia has been strategically investing, planning and executing their long-term goals becoming one of the top tourist destination, not just in the top season (spring and summer,) but also in offseason, focusing on MICE industry.

Prestigious show “The Grand Tour” is basically known to everybody in the world, especially because of its amazing, knowledgeable and humour’s three hosts who present the great world of motor vehicles, primarily cars, to the audience with their special and very unique way, full of humour and sarcasm. The show has become the most widely watched factual television programme in the world with their prominent host Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond. It is based on the former “Top Gear” show airing since 2002 which was faced with a scandal and due to Jeremy Clarkson »infamous« behaviour during his clash with the show producer in 2015 he was dismissed. The other 2 hosts also choose to leave together with Clarkson, but because of their great popularity, Clarkson and both of his co-host May and Hammond “relaunched” it in 2016 under the name “Grand Tour”.
