Next year’s Abta Travel Convention will be held in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
The conference, which will run from October 21 to 23, will take place at the five star Dubrovnik Palace Hotel and the four-star plus Valamar Lacroma Hotel. Both these hotels are set on the coast just outside the city.
Abta chief executive Mark Tanzer said: “Croatia is becoming a favourite for British holidaymakers and its popularity is growing. We are delighted that it has agreed to host the 2013 Travel Convention. Dubrovnik is rightly renowned as the Pearl of The Adriatic and this beautiful city is the ideal host for Croatia’s first Travel Convention.”
Croatian National Tourist Board director Meri Matesic said: “More and more British visitors are discovering Croatia and I’m confident that figures will continue to rise. We are very much looking forward to showcasing our home and the historically beautiful city of Dubrovnik to Abta delegates next year; they can be sure of a very warm welcome in Croatia.”
