Still not decided where to organise your next business event? If you’re looking for a safe destination in Europe with a warm and crystal-clear sea, incredible natural beauty, World Heritage Sites and friendly hosts – Croatia is your No 1 choice!

Excellent geographical location and easy accessibility

The youngest member of the EU, which is equally a Central European and a Mediterranean country owing to its unique geographical position, can easily be accessed by air and road.

Apart from the three largest airports in Zagreb, Split and Dubrovnik, there are also several medium and small-sized airports. Croatia is also known for its network of modern and high-quality motorways, which link the capital city, Zagreb, with the rest of the country as well as the neighbouring countries.

The best time of year for business events

With its clear division between continental and Mediterranean climates, Croatia offers reliable conditions for MICE events throughout all twelve months, with particular advantages during the shoulder seasons, from October to May.

Safe country with hospitable hosts

Croatia is renowned as a country with a high level of tourist personal safety with the majority of visitors emphasising safety as one of the country’s main characteristics.

It is not a coincidence that Croatia is among the safest countries in the world and the safest European country for night walks. Equally important – the kindness, helpfulness, and warmth of the Croatian people will be a great support in planning and delivering your events! Mediterranean charm, Central European professionalism, and genuine friendliness are the hallmarks of hosts in Croatia. For any questions, the Convention Bureau of the Croatian National Tourist Board and local convention offices are at your service.

Stunningly beautiful and diverse

There are not many places in the world where one can find such diversity of continental and Mediterranean lifestyles in such a small area.

The world’s most beautiful sunset, the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea with its indented coast boasting 1244 islands and isles that are perfect for sailing, the broad, golden fields and plains, the green vastness of eight national parks and 12 nature parks represent only a part of the amazing beauty you can discover during your incentives and business events in Croatia – a land rich in water, where tap water is completely safe for drinking. 

Rich history and culture

Inhabited since prehistory, on the intersection of eastern and western Europe, linking Central Europe and the Mediterranean, Croatia has a rich historical and cultural heritage with ten of its sites included in the UNESCO World Heritage List – from the world-renowned Walls of Dubrovnik, Diocletian’s Palace in Split, the Plitvice Lakes, to numerous basilicas and churches.

Diverse venues and agencies for various types of business events

Croatia features an excellent meeting and conference infrastructure for medium- and small-sized conventions – from large hotels by international brands to luxury boutique and small family hotels, historical venues for unique events, to conference centres that seat up to 1500 participants.

Most business event venues are located in hotels, which are often the preferred choice for organisers as hotels offer a wide range of integrated services. The expertise and experience of our PCO and DMC agencies will support every conference organiser for any type of event – from smaller corporate meetings and incentives, car presentations or filming of blockbusters to large international association meetings. 

Creative incentives and a wide range of group activity options

The whole of Croatia offers opportunities for inspirational, interesting and creative incentives you will remember for the rest of your life!

Enjoy sports and adrenaline activities in pristine nature, get to know the magic of the Adriatic Sea and its underwater world, discover the finest food and wine experiences of the Croatian continent, or unleash your imagination while visiting the best-known historical and cultural sites – choose the best from the exciting incentive and team-building activities!

Proud of its superb gastronomy

Excellent local gastronomy, from the exceptional fine dining and haute cuisine restaurants to creative dishes on local rural homesteads and coastal inns, with world-acknowledged wines and olive oils – Croatia is a paradise for gastronomads and foodies!

Grilled fresh fish and oysters of Ston, cheese of Pag, Dalmatian prosciutto, dishes with Istrian truffles, štrukli pastry of Zagorje, famous turkey and traditional side dish mlinci, and Slavonian kulen sausage are just some of the unforgettable flavours you simply must savour!
