The Tourist Board of Požega-Slavonia County has been awarded 300,000 euros in support this year from the Fund for Underdeveloped Tourist Areas and the Continent, intended for balanced tourist development, reports Požega.eu.
The largest amount, 120,000 euros, was awarded to the project "Experience the Stories That Call". The project "Cultural Tourism in Operation" was granted 100,000 euros, and the "Stage & Events 2026" programme received 80,000 euros. The approved projects, among other things, include a larger number of tourist events in the county.
The Fund is an instrument of the Croatian National Tourist Board. Through public tenders, it allocates funds to tourist boards for the development of offers, destination promotion, and the organisation of events that attract guests. The emphasis is on selective forms of tourism, education, and projects that raise the quality of content in the destination.
"Thus, we strive to reduce the unevenness of tourist development, strengthen the recognisability of less developed areas, and encourage sustainable tourism across the entire territory of Croatia," said the Croatian National Tourist Board (HTZ).
