Today, the program of the World Congress of Skål International, which after 2005 is being held again in Croatia, in Kvarner and in Opatija and Rijeka, from October 13 to 18, was announced in the Salon of the City of Rijeka.
The host of this prestigious tourist congress is Skål Club Kvarner, a member of Skål International, the largest international tourism organization, which unites directors and managers from all tourism sectors.
Skål Klub Kvarner, which gathers more than 30 tourism managers in Kvarner, won the hosting of this prestigious congress in 2018 for hosting in 2020 under the slogan "Skål International World Congress in the European Capital of Culture", and after a postponement due to two pandemic years , Skål International's congress will be held "live" with the participation of around 400 participants, influential tourism managers, from more than 40 countries around the world.
In addition to Skål Klub Kvarner, the hosts of the congress are the TZ of Kvarner, the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County and the cities and tourist boards of Rijeka and Opatija with the support of the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, the Croatian Tourist Board, the Croatian Chamber of Commerce - County Chamber of Rijeka and the TZ of the island of Krk.
"The Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Management in Opatija with graduate university students is included in the organization, since one of the goals of Skål International's activities is to attract tourism students and enable them to acquire the necessary qualifications through practice, said the president of Skål Club Kvarner and the Congress Organizing Committee Tamara Cerneka.
It is a great pleasure that after many years of lobbying and preparation of the congress, the members of Skål International have finally arrived in Kvarner, said the director of TZ Kvarner Irena Persic Zivadinov, thanking all co-hosts and stakeholders involved in the preparation of the congress.
