In the past several years, Rovinj has become an unavoidable destination for congresses and large events, largely owing to strong investments by Maistra, the leading hotel company in Croatia.

Thus, on 30th and 31st May 2015, Rovinj will once again hosted the Red Bull Air Race, which attracted over 50,000 spectators last year.

Owing to Maistra’s tourist offer, accommodation capacities and experience in organising similar events, excellent accommodation conditions will be provided for the participants and spectators for the second year in a row, along with the organisation of the competition itself.

Another pre-seasonal event that is particularly difficult to organise is the 100th UNWTO Session, held in the Lone Hotel in Rovinj.

The Session will gather approximately 300 participants – representatives of ministries of tourism from all around the world. Held on 28th and 29th May 2015, the Session was accompanied by a rich side programme, which featured the richness and autochthonous character of the tourist offer of Croatia and Istria.
