The Balkan beauty of Croatia has experienced tremendous growth and development over the years, rapidly ascending as a rising star among the world’s premier MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) destinations. Its strategic location at the crossroads of Central Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Balkans places it right at the heart of the action, making it an accessible and attractive choice for international events.
Unlike conventional MICE destinations, Croatia presents a diverse range of over 15,000 venues catering to every gathering type. Reside in intimate luxury at a coastal resort with your team overlooking the azure Adriatic Sea or the sophistication of state-of-the-art exhibition centres in bustling urban hubs like Zagreb and Split.
Croatia’s accessibility via seasonal air flights and its expanding network of modern highways make it easy for your international team of delegates to reach various destinations within the country smoothly for your meetings and events. Over the past decade, infrastructure has improved with fast internet, which is more widely available and connective across major towns, ensuring you’ll always be connected no matter where you are.
Once you and your team are on the ground, you’ll have the chance to unearth some of Croatia’s natural and historic wonders. The country features eight wonderful UNESCO sites, including the historic city of Trogir, and it also has 14 Elements on the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage. When you need your dose of sunshine, choose from 1244 islands, islets, stacks and reefs, from the dreamy island of Vis to Zlatni Rat Beach in Brač.
Events like corporate travel incentives and leadership retreats are among the most popular types of conferences hosted in Croatia with the DMC Collective in 2024. Combine team-building activities that promote personal growth and team dynamics with unique experiences like Somatic Movement Therapy sessions on the stunning Istria Peninsula or mental training exercises in the quaint city of Dubrovnik. Nothing is off the cards in Croatia.
Transform your MICE plans with the assistance of the DMC Collective event management company and pull off a memorable conference in the heart of Croatia.
The Benefits of Choosing Croatia to Host Your Next MICE Event
A Strategic Location Connected to All Corners of the Outside World
Croatia is nicely placed in the middle of Central Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Balkans, making it the ultimate hub for connectivity.
Because of where the country is geographically located, it’s easy to access for you and your delegates from some of the world’s busiest airports with connections from around the globe, such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Athens and Istanbul.
If you’re coming by sea, your team can arrive smoothly from some of Europe’s port cities, such as Venice and Bari. Our top Croatian/English-speaking meeting planners from our event service company will ensure your transport arrangements are organised when you reach land so that you can arrive at your venue as smoothly as possible.
Medium Sized Venues Tailored to Your Event Needs
Most of the venues we have partnerships with in Croatia are medium-sized, with a great variety of options, including intimate meeting spaces for up to 10 people and modern conference centres for up to 3,000 attendees.
While the venues in Croatia may not be on a large scale, their allure is their style, which offers aesthetic appeal in historic buildings and charming resorts. Once you notify your destination meeting planner of your requirements for your event, such as a product launch or live speaking leadership retreat, they’ll present you with the most suitable options based on your tastes.
One of the DMC Collectives' Top Incentive Corporate Travel Destinations
Croatia gets a lot of attraction from our clients for its unique incentives like leadership retreats in places like Dubrovnik and the picturesque regions of Istria, particularly Pula and Rovinj.
Give your team the rejuvenation and inspiration they need in the historic charm of Dubrovnik, a UNESCO World Heritage site with lots of exciting incentives, from walking tours along the ancient city walls to kayaking around the city’s iconic fortresses.
Along Croatia’s northern coast is the beautiful region of Istria. If we were to sum up this region in three words, we’d say green, picturesque and charming. From small traditional hilltop villages to truffle-growing wooded areas, Istria offers a diverse range of activities. Whether you’re into sports, cultural experiences, or culinary delights, there’s something for everyone here.
Istria is known as the gourmet capital of Croatia and often dubbed the new Tuscany, providing visitors with a delightful blend of gastronomic experiences and rich heritage. Here, you can savour truffles, olive oil, and renowned local wines while dining in the coastal historic towns of Pula, Poreč, and Rovinj, Istria. Explore Green Istria in the lush hills and hilltop villages inland, such as Motovun, or enjoy the delights of Blue Istria along its spectacular coast and Brijuni Islands. No matter where you choose to base yourself for your inventive trip, modern hotels and authentic Istrian villas are everywhere to be found.
In Istria, cities like Pula and Rovinj are also fantastic places where you can host history-focused team-building activities that allow you to learn about Croatia’s dark past while growing together for the better. Take on spectacular trails at Brijuni National Park while enjoying some forest bathing and getting to know each other on a deeper level. Or combine cycling with some of the region’s finest wines as you pedal between gorgeous wineries, sampling the goods.
