Testimonials


Valamar and I personally participated every year at TOURISM 365. The conference is great, because it focuses on really strategic topics of tourism – how we
can extend the season and raise the quality, what really means the value of tourism.

Ivana Budin Arhanić

Vice President of Business Development, Valamar Riviera


The conference TOURISM 365 places the discussion about tourism on a higher level. We have heard about other countries rethinking tourism and carrying out projects in the long run. We are thrilled about the opportunity to gather tourism leaders at this level, and as tourism professionals and entrepreneurs, we are glad to demonstrate what we do, how we operate, and what we need to make tourism more successful for us and provide better economic effects for the state.

Leila Krešić-Jurić

Director North America, Croatian National Tourist Board


The conference became a significant place for exchanging the experiences of professionals from various fields of tourism. Especially in this period, this exchange of experiences, exchange of knowledge and also the focus on increasing knowledge and understanding in tourism are extremely necessary.

Kristian Šustar

Chief Development Officer, Uniline TC


It was very fruitful exchange of information and knowledge about today tourism and it should be continued. We can learn many things from each other, so I would be very happy to be at TOURISM 365 also next year.

Jan Schmidt

Project Manager, BioCon Valley®


At TOURISM 365 we talked about sustainability, about 4 season products and about future of tourism, all that European SPA Association stands for. That is what we all need. We simply have to do much more, so I will be here next year, too.

Csilla Mezosi

Secretary-General, European Spas Association (ESPA), Belgium


I’m glad and proud to be Tourism 365 sponsor. This Conference offers us a great opportunity to hear the latest trends and meet experts of the tourism sector.
It brings us exchange of information and knowledge in tourism and help small business like ControlComm to grow and to be promoted.
