Abstract
Tito’s visits to various regions of Socialistic Yugoslavia will never be forgotten. They were a part of his immense social, political, state and leading activities. There is not a single part of this country that Tito did not visit.
In a direct contact with working people and other citizens, as well as with their representatives, Tito was always anxious to know what they worked, how they lived, what are their successes and their problems. At the same time he used to give his own opinion praising what was right and criticizing what was wrong, suggesting how to work more and better.
As all over Yugoslavia, Tito was the dearest guest in Dubrovnik, too. From 1946 to 1979 he paid 29 visits to this city. When with his guests — foreign statesman — he used to stay in it. From 1954 on he was the patron of the Dubrovnik Summer Festival. Since 1962 he has been the Honorary Citizen of Dubrovnik.
The working people and the citizens of Dubrovnik and its surroundings always manifested their sincere love and deep respects to Tito, whether at his arrivals, during his stays or at his departures.
