Abstract
Any well known summer or winter resort tends to include a supply of primary as well as of supplementary range of services into their tourism product. The latter comprise various cultural, sports and recreational events. Ever since 1844 when villa Angiolina was opened, Opatija has always tried to adapt all the elements of its abundant supply to numerous clients and guests. The range of attractive events include engagement of various entertainment groups, top-quality singers and musicians, sight-seeing tours and excursions, sports tournaments, floor shows, festive processions during carnival days and organization of national and international meetings and conventions. Various programs reflecting prospects for an active and exciting holiday in Opatija (which has recently become a renowned nautical and convention centre) arc the cornerstones of Opatija’s image and its 150-year-old tourism tradition.
