Amadria Park is the largest hotel group in Croatia. The agency faced the challenge of increasing guest traffic, both individual and corporate, to its hotels. The group’s properties are located in Šibenik, Opatija, and Zagreb. Previously, Amadria Park had no communication with the Polish market.
A 2023 study by the Polish Tourist Organization revealed that during the summer holiday season, Poles tend to travel abroad for their main vacation. Among respondents, 24% stated that they spend exactly 8 days (7 nights) abroad, while 25% plan trips lasting 9-15 days. In 2023, Poles traveled predominantly to European countries (93.4% of trips), with the main purposes being leisure and recreation (48.3%) and shopping (35.3%).
For some travelers, Croatia is not the first choice as a destination; it competes with Italy, Spain, and France. The campaign’s slogan was: “Time for Undiscovered Croatia.”
The strategy focused on media relations, influencer collaborations, and direct meetings with the MICE industry in Poland and abroad.
