Feeling at home is the motto of Marina Punat's business, which celebrates 6 decades of work this year. Constant investments in infrastructure and hospitality have kept them at the top of nautical tourism in Croatia for years.
There are more than 70 marinas in Croatia that are doing excellent business. Nautical tourism is one of the flagships of the tourist offer for guests with deeper pockets. But the issue of concessions, which expire in 2030 for all marinas, is a growing obstacle for future investments.
"This is a key challenge in our business. We really made a huge effort in communication with the Ministry of Maritime Affairs. What worries us the most is that this was also our proposal in the event that we do not win the next competition for a new concession, that the issue of compensation be resolved in a fair way.", she pointed out for HRT Bernarda Renata Marević, director of Marina Punat doo
They hope that solutions will be found soon as they continue to plan and invest. After the new restaurant, which is open for guests and visitors, new luxury accommodation units will soon be built.
The plan is to build small bungalows, stone villas and a small hotel in addition to the existing one, added Marević.
