A<\/span>lthough Croatia has altogether 444 protected areas<\/a>, including 8 national parks<\/a>, 2 strict reserves and 11 nature parks<\/a>. However, they encompassing only 9% of the country. Whether more could be achieved with support of tourism and whether the special form of glamping<\/a> tourism could exemplify high sustainability standards, benefit rural areas and finally could become an LT&C-Example, was the background of an LT&C workshop convened in Oto\u010dac, October 24-25.<\/p>\n

The workshop was part of a feasibility study for a potential project developing glamping sites related to different national parks, where LT&C with its diverse competence and expertise among its members, could play an advisory role. Participants from 5 different countries where hosted by Castel Solutions and included, beside LT&C-members, representatives from local NGOs, national parks, the town of Oto\u010dac and sustainable products- and business experts. The topics reached from presenting a regional environmental NGO and eco-products, the functioning of the Croatian national parks system, to luxury\/high level tourism and examples of glamping:\u00a0Agenda workshop Croatia2017<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Short visits of the\u00a0Krka National Park<\/a> and\u00a0Plitvice Lakes National Park<\/a>\u00a0provided the impression that the parks are not only of high natural and scenic value, but are also of high standard when it comes to the management and education of huge amounts of tourists.<\/p>\n
