The most important annual gathering of the Croatian camping sector, related institutions, partners and all camping fans and friends, will be held ONLINE on December 1st and 2nd 2020
The Congress of Croatian Camping, organized by the Croatian Camping Union (KUH), is being held for the 14th censecutive year.
The online edition of the 14th Croatian camping Congress is an opportunity you should not miss!
On December 1st and 2nd 2020, the 14th Congress of Croatian Camping, through its lectures and panel discussions will surely confirm once more its reputation as the central event for the exchange of knowledge and experiences of the Croatian camping sector.
Welcome to the first online edition of the Croatian Camping Days!
From the very beginning, the Congress of Croatian Camping, organized by KUH, imposed itself as the central event for the exchange of knowledge and experiences, education and meetings of representatives of the Croatian camping sector and related industries.
From the first Congress, held in 2007, to last year's 13th Congress of Croatian Camping, a total of almost 3.000 participants had the opportunity to exchange experiences and get to know each other, study the development trends and figures of the European and Croatian camping sector, debate about the tools and methods of promotion, discuss price and quality policies, meet in person and cooperate with CNTB directors from some of the most important foreign markets, talk to foreign and domestic camping experts, advertising and related activities, get encouragement and new ideas for improving the quality of campsites and adapting to the expectations of campsite guests (glamping, mobile homes, water parks, quality and other services), check the latest models of mobile homes, as well as other equipment for campsites.
This year will be remembered as one of the most challenging so far, both for the camping sector and for society as a whole. Nonetheless, it is exactly the current situation that motivates us to be even more prepared for the upcoming year and its camping season, in the hope that we will remember it, as we did for the many previous ones, as a good one. Although this year the Congress is moving from the classic form to the online format, KUH has prepared some very interesting and trending topics for all participants, the details of which you can find below.
