TOURIST BOARD DIRECTOR ANNOUNCES CAMPAIGNS AND EVENTS FOR SEASON PREPARATION
The First Pine Planting Campaign in Kuvi
This Saturday’s pine planting in Kuvi marked the beginning of the most numerous series of events for season preparation to date, organized by the Town Tourist Board. Representatives of the Town and hotel companies will plant the pines.
According to Tourist Board Director Darijo Činić, this year’s events, taking place within the Croatian Tourist Board’s campaign “I Love Croatia” and County Tourist board’s campaign “Let my Istria Shine”, are more numerous and richer than those in the previous years. Another novelty is the fact that the programs for guests and the locals were prepared by representatives of the tourist industry and the Town, in pursuit of their common goal to make Rovinj even more attractive, beautiful and pleasant to stay in.
The Tourist Board has prepared a whole set of most diverse events – from environmental and cultural ones to those dealing with enology and gastronomy. Among other things, we will organize lectures on the subject of wine serving, table culture, olive oil and cheese, an asparagus festival and Easter breakfast, as well as a specialized lecture entitled “Creativity in Gastronomy”. In addition, we will distribute around three thousand flower seedlings and around three hundred sage seedlings. The Green Istria will hold an interesting lecture on the subject of the Kyoto Protocol and the Croatian energy strategy, while the “Rovinj Flower Story” and “Art and Creation”, which we will co-organize with Maistra and the Town, will probably attract particular interest. As for the environmental events, the divers will lead the town harbor cleaning campaign this year, the Meduza Sport & Fishing Association will improve the Island of Figarola, while the hunters will clean the Island of Sveti Ivan na Pučini and prepare it for the season, announced Činić.
The program also includes music events, with a concert by the Batana folk group as early as Easter, and Toni Cetinski’s performance on Trg maršala Tita in late April.
