In October of last year, hotel company Zlatni rat – whose headquarters are in Bol on Brac – celebrated six decades of successful operation. Zlatni rat, which got its name by the same name world famous Bol beach, is among the most successful Croatian tourist companies.

Founded on October 17, 1948, Zlatni rat started with only a few guest rooms and later it increased its capacity every year. The turnaround in its development was the opening of the hotel Bijela kuca, made with an adaptation of a student home. During that time, an accelerated growth of hotel capacity started, and during the 70s, hotels Elaphusa and Borak are opened and one decade later, hotel complex Bretanide and in 1999, hotel complex Bonaca. Zlatni rat today has 1,600 beds in three hotels, which are operating as part of the Croatian hotel chain Blue Sun. There are 180 employees in the company, and this year hotel Grand Elaphusa should put the fifth star on its entrance. Zlatni rat – which is the majority owner of Bra? Airport – has strongly marked the tourism development of Bol, island of Brac,  as well as entire Croatia and it counts among the most popular destinations in the country.

For the young, Croatia is a favourite tourist destination, and they  will  fnd  the  accommodation  suited  to  their  needs  in  40  hostels  around  the country  to which 30 more should be added by 2012.  The  hostels  are  already  located  in  some  of  the most  attractive  spots  such  as Dubrovnik, Pula, Sibenik, Zadar, Rijeka, Veli  Losinj, and Zagreb. All the hostels, which have 900 beds, completely correspond to the standards and the way of doing business of all  European hostels.

Also, they all work throughout the year, with the  exception of the island hostel in Veli Losinj, which is open from the  start of May until the end October. The Croatian Youth Hostel Association is a non-proft, non-government organisation and an independent association of youth hostels which is developing youth tourism, and last year it celebrated  55 years of activity.  It  is a member of  international organisations  which are promoting youth mobility: International Youth Hostel Federation, European Youth Card Association and World Youth and  Student Educational Travel Confederation.
