Croatia eyes Indian MICE groups in 2015

In India to promote Croatia among the travel trade, HE Amir Muharemi, Ambassador of Croatia to India said, “With the help of the ‘Namaste Croatia’ initiative, we will strengthen the already-existing relations but also start a new chapter. In order to facilitate this, I will also be travelling throughout India this year to encourage tourism and trade ties between both the countries.”

Visa facilitation company, Udaan India, has partnered up with Uniline, a South East Europe DMC, to launch ‘Namaste Croatia’ initiative. Rajan Dua, MD of Udaan India, said, “We plan to market Croatia by designing packages specific to Croatia, combining Bosnia and Austria and with the help of our clientele of over 8,000 travel agents. Promotions for ‘Namaste Croatia’ will be done aggressively in the Indian market. We will also be organising road shows in India to support Croatia.” Udaan India will also soon get the official mandate as accredited visa agent for Croatian visas, having processed over 1,000 visas daily on an average across India in 2014. The main focus areas for 2015 are MICE and organised groups but also leisure groups. Dua added, “Croatia is an ideal destination for MICE, FITs, destination weddings as well as film shoots. He also added that July and August are the high seasons while anytime from April to September can be considered for visiting the country.”
