At the 34th annual conference of the Croatian Economic Association, “Croatia’s Economic Policy in 2027”, held in Opatija, Assistant Professor Vanja Vitezić, PhD, Vice Dean for Scientific and Professional Activities at FTHM, delivered a presentation entitled “Post-Naïve Growth in Croatian Tourism: When Record Results No Longer Conceal Weaknesses”.
The presentation raised questions about the future, long-term competitiveness and sustainability of Croatian tourism, encouraging reflection on development models that go beyond traditional measures of tourism success. How can tourism continue to grow while improving quality and creating long-term value for tourism, the economy and society?
Alongside FTHM students and teaching staff, the conference was attended by members of the Faculty’s management: Professor Marko Perić, PhD, Dean; Professor Lidija Bagarić, PhD, Vice Dean for Development; and Assistant Professor Maša Trinajstić, PhD, Vice Dean for Teaching.
Our faculty community’s participation in events such as this provides an opportunity to connect scientific knowledge, education and business practice. We are particularly pleased to see students taking part in discussions on the challenges that will shape their future professional careers.
We thank the Croatian Economic Association for providing a forum for knowledge exchange and informed discussion on the future of the Croatian economy.
