Trogir – the City of Masters, which slowly but convincingly pulls us into an enchanted labyrinth of beauty, into narrow stone streets made of yellow smooth stone. Trogir offers unique experience to every visitor and its rich cultural heritage makes it very popular tourist destination. Besides extraordinary monuments and sculptural and painted masterpieces Trogir has many other things that attract visitors every year. Trogir is also famous for its festivals that take place during the year, especially in the summer, but the most important thing is that Trogir is well known for its talented people-the Masters. Tourist Board Trogir tries to promote those talented young artists and helps them to organize various events and festivals every year.
Trogir is well known for its a capella singers who sing traditional Dalmatian songs. “Klapa”singing is a part of traditional folk vocal music, the word klapa means „a group of friends”. In 2012., the music of Croatian klapa was included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This year, in June,we plan to organize the festival of a capella singing at the main city square and we hope that the festival will become a tradition as Trogir has many amazing a capella singers and one of the well-known is Klapa Trogir. One of the new summer festivals is also “Masters of classical music” where a group of local classical musicians will demonstrate their talent in singing and playing classical instruments.
This year we started to develop and improve new tourism products, such as web site based on “360°virtual walk”. From May2022.,you will be able to see all of the charming streets and beautiful monuments in Trogir on your screen and learn the most important facts or read some interesting stories about them. Although branding strategy was launched in 2019., every year we implement some new project or product from it. This year, a “Master Tour” will take place again. It is organized, guided old town tour with a focus on local masters of food, masters of crafts and masters of art. Also, in 2022. we plan to open an official Brand store where guests will be able to buy items with our recognizable visual identity.
Recently, Trogir has become a destination of choice for numerous digital nomads. We have to quote one of them: “Trogir is perfect for working as a digital nomad. It is peaceful and inspiring. There are so many things to appreciate here, such as the climate, culture, nature, ways of living and wonderful people in the area.”Speaking of a selective forms of tourism, we have to mention nautical tourism, which is expanding and improving every year. There is no question that Croatia is one of the leaders in international nautical tourism.
Trogir is growing and improving every year and the content is getting more diversible
The Dalmatian coast is so popular because, apart from natural wonders,it offers diverse entertainment which aims to please each and every guest. Due to the amazing geographical position in Central Dalmatia, one of the three nautical marinas in the Trogir area can be a perfect place to start your maritime adventure. It is no wonder that Trogir has been popular destination for renting sailboats and all other types of vessels for leisure, such as family boats, motorboats,yachts and catamarans. Visitors who don’t want to spend a lot of time at sea can always book daily trip to beautiful islands with speed boat or a fish picnic at the stalls located all over the town.
Regardless of Covid-19 pandemic, nautical tourism in 2021. recorded the same number of guests as in 2019. Guests recognized this form of tourism as the safest for their health because they can be in touch only with their small group on the boat. In the upcoming summer season,we expect even better results.
As an area known for its natural beauty, island of Čiovo is perfect for all of those who like cycling. Aware of that, Tourist Board Trogir, in cooperation with ten other tourist boards from the county, reached a consensus for the development of the tourist product “Cycling”. Cyclists seek the existence of basic infrastructure in form of diverse, marked and prepared bike trails, services and events according to their needs, so they can experience, not only the natural beauty of the region, but also culture, gastronomy and direct contact with the lifestyle of the population. We already took the first steps in that direction. In 2021. four “Mountain bike” trails on Čiovo were traced and marked.In this moment, we expect maps of “Mountain bike” trails. We are very happy to see local people and tourists riding bicycles there, having fun and maintaining their health at the same time. Part of consensus with other tourist boards is preparation of several “Family”and “Road” trails for next year.
Apart from cycling infrastructure, this project also emphasizes other contents, such as segmentation and standardization of accommodation capacities, creating capacity labels for cycle tourists, marking monuments and viewpoints nearby, various educational and promotional activities and organizing events for cyclists. From everything we have stated so far, it can be concluded that Trogir is growing and improving every year and the content is getting more diversible. Our guests have many possibilities and a lot of daily activities. Let Trogir -the city of Masters, be on your bucket list for this year.
