After three successful travel and trade shows for active holidays held in Slovenia, NATOUR expended to the Adriatic region. NATOUR ADRIA, an international travel and trade show for active holidays in a natural environment, was held from 16 to 18 April 2013, in the Istrian town Umag. 

This business and tourism event for active holidays allowed registered tourism companies to present their offer to numerous potential partners from abroad in one place. Participants were pleased to have met, talked business and enjoyed the lovely atmosphere:

“I was super impressed with the recent Natour conference held in Umag, Croatia. I was introduced to the Istria region which I knew nothing about, as this is an area not known at all in the North American market, so this was highly beneficial for me. The organization, choice of accommodation, quality of the suppliers and buyers and day of adventure all exceeded my expectations.”
Trish Sare, BikeHike Adventures Inc., Canada

“I have discovered some interesting places/destinations/facilities for spending vacation in Croatia/Slovenia for our clients. I am preparing offers in cooperation with your sellers. For me everything was very interesting, good and I believe in future cooperation with exhibitors presented at Natour Adria.”
Milica Palenikova, Comfort Travel, Slovakia

“I thought the workshop and the fam trip was very well organised. The hotel was excellent and the transfers were very good. I look forward to doing business with the suppliers I met with.”
Katie Waddington, Zenith Holidays

NATOUR ADRIA was once again a place with many ideas for active holidays in a natural environment!

This trade show enabled meetings between: Sports tourism providers and providers of programmes for active holidays in nature, accommodation providers, ecotourism operators and providers of equipment for active outdoor holidays from Croatia and region Representatives of tourist agencies, tour operators, potential investors, representatives of international and other interest associations  from Europe

The key advantages of 2013 cooperation was:

• a one-stop-shop, the most extensive range of active holidays in a natural environment

• making business contacts through prescheduled meetings with service providers; each meeting will last no more than 20 minutes, guaranteeing the rational use of time

• networking with over 30 providers of active holidays in a natural environment

• education and the review of national and international good practice case studies, familiarisation with trends in the field of active holidays in a natural environment.

The organiser guaranteed at least 12 one-to-one meetings for the participating service providers on the day of the trade show in the islad of Lošinj.
