Krajina Emerging as a Tourist Destination
“There are so many tourists who should be shown what this part of Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) can offer," said Milan Torbak from Zagreb, Croatia as he gazed at the crowd on Vlasic Mountain one sunny Sunday.
Torbak was one of hundreds of participants in the "Days of Krajina Tourism" fair which included a series of events in the four BiH ski resorts of Vlasic, Kupres, Bjelasnica and Jahorina. The fair was part of a pilot project launched by tourism promoters from BiH's northwestern region of Krajina. USAID's Cluster Competitiveness Activity is supporting this initiative, whose aim is to promote Krajina as a tourism destination rich in sport, outdoor activities, cultural displays
and food.
Visitors at each ski center had the opportunity to sample traditional Krajina cuisine, test their skiing skills in attempting to master routes of various difficulties, demonstrate their physical prowess during the wall climbing events, and win prizes, free meals and souvenirs. Organizers
distributed 10,000 brochures with information on Krajina tourism offers and discount coupons to be used during the summer.
"I think the events went well. It is proved by the high number of interested people in front of our stands", said Director of Una-Sana Canton Tourist Organization Jasminka Susko.
