Croatia’s Cutting Edge Tourism Project To Create The Planet’s Biggest Welcome Leaves The Island Of Hvar And Heads For The Peljesac Spur.
Day 46 of Croatia’s cutting edge tourism project, to form the planet’s biggest welcome, began on the island of Hvar on May 26 2011 with a trip to a rock climbing facility. The purpose of the 62-day project is to spotlight both the natural beauty of Croatia and the various nature of its journey tourism by following a winding, 2,500km route from north to south which spells the word “Welcome.”
Rock climbing is an expanding activity on the island, according to Vese Huljic, who runs the island’s most successful active tourism company, Hvar Excitement. According to Huljic, the sport is comparatively new to the island, with the first bolted rock climbing areas appearing in 2002.
The Welcome team made a trip to the southern resort of Sveta Nedjelja, where they spent a while at the rock climbing centre Cliffbase, owned and run by a Slovakian fan, before continuing on their journey on the way to Sucuraj and transfer to the mainland.
A main part of the trip is to follow a route which spells the word Welcome so it will finally be observed from Google Earth, enabling Croatian tourism to claim the largest welcome in the world. Implementing this in practical terms requires backtracking occasionally.
Heading north to Makarska to join up the “M” in welcome, the Welcome team then planned a 25km cycle to Blato and kayak from there to Loviste, but settled on the kayaks earlier because of the business of the main road.
With the impressive Biokovo mountains as a backdrop, the team paddled past many empty beaches, shortly to be crowded in the imminent peak season, a reminder of the shortness of the Croatian season, in spite of sometimes fantastic weather in late May.
The final destination, thru the channel between Hvar and Peljesac, was the quaint town of Loviste on the western end of the Peljesac Promontory. Given its relatively remote location (holiday makers arriving by automobile must drive the length of the peninsula), Loviste is less crowded than other places on the coast and offers good beaches and coves.
The Welcome team were welcomed by enthused local children and Stjepan Rudan, President of the local council, and enjoyed a table of local figs and brandy.
The tour is scheduled to resume by kayak to the island of Korcula, birthplace of Marco Polo, before finishing on June 3 with a canoe leg from the island of Mljet to Dubrovnik, writes tagza.com.
