“Our company wanted to go to a new market and we really believe that India is a perfect market for our destination because Indian people love nature, love beautiful hotels and as your towns and cities are a bit polluted, we think that our island will be a win-win because of the air, because of the great hotels, because of the superb services that we have and again, it is easily accessible,” Lara Soldicic Vodaric, Director of Sales, Leisure and Corporate, Losinj Hotels & Villas, a 5-star luxury property in Lošinj, Croatia told India Outbound on the sidelines of the roadshow.
“India is a completely new market. We are opening this market this year, we are not expecting much, but we are expecting just, if we have just a few good bookings, especially for the villas, for 2025, we are happy. We expect more next year,” she added.
During the roadshow a live ‘Fastest Finger First’ quiz was also organised, where winners were awarded hampers, vouchers, and luxury stays as prizes.
