The prime weeks are coming

Peak weeks are ahead of us, the peak season has just begun and there are intense days ahead of us, during which we must maintain the quality of service and the satisfaction of our guests, because this is the only way we can build the image of the county as a quality and sustainable tourist region in the long term.", he concluded Krešimir Šakić.
