And additionally, the congress tourism presents Croatia as an attractive destination for the all-year-round tourism.«

From there, she went to the Department of fairs and business presentations as an expert coordinator.
In her short statement, Đive Kovačević emphasized the main tasks and plans of her future work: »The Congress department of the Croatian National Tourist Board will in the upcoming year direct its activities towards the congress and incentive market with a goal of Croatia’s even better positioning on a very demanding and competitive international market. We will encourage the cooperation between the public and private sector and we will be actively supporting the organisers of international gatherings and insights. We will carry out activities of thematic advertising, inspection tours, participation on congress trade shows, organisation of business presentations and all other key promotional activities. We believe in quality and pro-active cooperation with all the key stakeholders in tourism.«
