140 years of tourism in Hvar



One of Croatia's the most popular (and most chic) resorts, Hvar town on the island of Hvar, is celebarting this year 140 years of organized tourism.

Hvar geographic position, its favourable climate, clear sea and rich culture heritage favoured the development of the organized tourism in the distant 1868, when the «Health Society»was founded. The society was stimulating and going in step with tourism development. It was opening the gate to make it the most important branch of the town economy and bringing Hvar to the fame of a world wide known tourist destination visited by most demanding and famous visitors from all over the world.

Hvar is the longest and sunniest Croatian island – and many say - one of the most beautiful islands of the world.
