European Destinations of Excellence - Croatia

EDEN is the acronym for European Destination of Excellence, a project promoting sustainable tourism development model across the European Union. The project is based on national competitions of a tourist „destination of excellence" for each participating country, which effectively achieves the objective of drawing attention to the values, diversity and common features of European tourist destinations and promotes networking between awarded destinations. The project's target is to enhance and promote the visibility of emerging European destinations under the slogan „Discover the Hidden Treasures of Europe". The European comission choses a different theme every year, and as Croatia has been participating since the very begining, it has been awarded five destinations of excellence under five different themes.
