The schedule of activities of Pag Summer Outdoor, which lasts four months again this year, has been published

Pag Outdoor that is, the concept of developing the outdoor offer of the island of Pag is the best example of how outdoor tourism develops, about which I have written on several occasions. 

It's about four outdoor activities - cycling, climbing, trail and kayaking, which are located in the unique environment of Pag's nature, and everything is rounded off by an excellent gastronomic offer, superb accommodation and indigenous stories.

From the first Pag Outdoor to today, a lot has been done. Today, Pag Outdoor lasts for four months, and it should be emphasized that the whole story includes licensed guides and trainers who additionally contribute to the experience of the participants with their experience, as well as the local tourist DMC agency.

Just yesterday, the schedule of Pag Outdoor activities was published in Croatian and English, which shows the schedule of all activities for four months - from June to September. 

As a reminder, as part of the development of the project, guides for active tourism were educated, guidelines for the development of bikes and trail trails were defined, and visual identity Pag Outdoor, infrastructure is being arranged, Pag Bike&Bed certificates were awarded to renters who specialize in accommodating cyclists, as well as a website that unites the outdoor story island of Pag - www.pag-outdoor.com 

An excellent example of a well-rounded tourist product, which is crucial for Pag Outdoor to be nationally, but also globally, recognizable. 

The whole story is complemented with major events such as the CRO Race, the Granfondo race and the Life on Mars trail. This year's 6th edition of the Life on Mars trail in April broke all previous records, gathering more than 1300 competitors from 19 countries, and the race in Novalja marks the beginning of the tourist season. 

"We are really proud of such a successful event that put the island of Pag, Novalja and Metajna on the outdoor map of Croatia, and launched some new sustainable tourist destinations. Life on Mars trail has become a kind of tourism brand of the destination. How much the race has popularized the destination and the outdoors can be seen from the daily organized walking tours from Croatia and the world." pointed out Marina Šćiran Rizner, director of TZG Novalja. 

Once again, Pag proved to be an excellent host and a place that brings together lovers of the outdoors, travel, photography and great gastronomic cuisine.

It should be emphasized that the active content is not only intended for advanced users but is adapted to all generations, which is certainly the reason why this project has experienced such success. We often forget that in the context of the development of sports tourism we need to focus on quantity / mass, which means programs that are not intended for families, ie all generations. 

The trails are divided into three categories: easy, medium and difficult, mapped and the description of the trail corresponds to the terrain because they are controlled and maintained every year. An important segment is also technical support, through bicycle and e-bike rental services, trained guides, service and transfers, where all partners are listed on the Pag outdoor page. 

To this should be added the unique environment of Pag's nature, which with its diversity attracts fans of outdoor activities. 

The success of the Pag Outdoor project is the result of the joint association of the island tourism communities TZG Novalja, TZG Pag, TZO Kolan, TZO Povljana and TZM Stara Novalja on the development of the project. Tourism, i.e. guests, do not know our invisible borders of cities, municipalities and counties, they are on the island of Pag and want to experience it. 

That is why this project is an excellent example of how tourist facilities should be developed, as an offer of a tourist brand and region, in this case the island of Pag.
