Croatia has made great strides in all these areasWhen I sat down to write this I suddenly thought, what does South East Europe mean? Who does it include? I actually (believe it or not) asked a few people which countries came to mind when speaking about South East Europe and the answers were very different.

At times even causing heated discussions. Did it include Greece and Cyprus? Did it include Hungary or even Turkey? It makes a big difference in our industry. Some destinations in this group are mature tourism destinations but only fledglings in the Meeting Industry and others are just emerging in both. When we consider South East Europe we immediately associate some key words with the region, novelty, recent historical events, gastronomy, beautiful people and beautiful landscapes. With the ex-ception of novelty, none of the other words feature highly on the list of requisites for a meetings destination. I have, I must say, been guilty in the past of too quickly dismissing this region as too similar to differentiate between them and just looking at it as a whole, or even to sit on the side-lines and wait for a little more experience locally before deciding to take my events there. Recently (over the last 5 years) I have been fortunate enough to have the opportu-nity to visit a few cities in the region personally and have asked my staff to carry our follow-up research whenever my first impressions resulted in the destination being

eligible for our in-house MI destination requirements list. The conclusions have been that while some cities make wonderful incentive destinations, providing a large variety of options as regards activities, wow factor and quality services, they would not pass the test for anything other than small meetings. Others boast the infrastructure which is perfectly apt to host meetings right now but have not yet acquired enough reputation as regards pro-fessional expertise and others have all the right qualities but not the right positioning. Others have the hotel rooms but not the meeting venues; others have the venues and not enough rooms across all the categories – a must for association meetings. However most do not really know their own profile and what they are suited for and so have not been branding themselves correctly – in our industry this is of the utmost importance. Meetings, most destina-tions forget, are not about tourism. They make use of the tourism infrastructure but they are about the business of knowledge or business objectives. That is the language that must be spoken and here I believe is where the com-munication fails when promoting the region. As a mere example Croatia has made great strides in all these areas. I am continually impressed but how much their figures are growing. They have been able to reposition themselves for the MI sector and have become extremely pro-active. I have seen the destination grow in leaps and bounds, aggressively marketing to my col-leagues and just as regards travel figures from my own destination, Croatia saw an increase of 39% in the number of travellers from Portugal just for 2010. Local suppliers have dedicated time to creating professional associations

(namely the brand new meeting planners association), in-vestment in certification for its professionals among other initiatives. Another excellent example is the very proactive Convention Bureau of Slovenia. The professionalism in their targeting of international clients, their dedication to the sector both at a political and supplier level is impres-sive. The fact that they host Conventa which has meta-morphosed into one of the most well-organised regional trade shows, has proven a wake-up call even to seasoned meeting industry professionals like myself. But then Slove-nia, like the region in general, has a lot of advantages. Very young, very well-educated travel and hospitality industry professionals, who understand the true meaning of “hos-pitality” and who are hungry for the business. They believe that if they raise their sights and see the possibilities they can achieve anything. This can-do attitude is one of the best features of the destination. The quality-cost ratio and the novelty factor are also added benefits.If, like me in the past, our industry “boxes” all the countries of the region together and just sees them from one perspective, they will all seem very similar. This is not only a mistake but deprives the industry of expanding to new experiences and new ventures. If we exclude Turkey and Greece from this analysis (only because they a considered mature destinations), then none of the remaining group of countries appears in the top 40 worldwide meeting destinations and many of them not even in the top 100. For the region this is, from my perspective, actually great news. It means there is tremendous room for growth. They have a clean slate as a starting point and as such an open horizon in front of them. But here is where the truth becomes painful. They must implement well-thought out marketing and branding strategies, differentiated from their tourism strategies. There is a profound need to speak “client”. To create entities who understand the business of meetings, who speak the language and can deliver the project. It is necessary to take advantage of the compact-

ness and endless possibilities of offerings that allow cli-ents to benefit from more than two destinations because of closeness. The discourse must be one of benefits rather than logistics. Differentiation but complementarity is added value for the region. Local suppliers and meeting industry professionals must present a united destination positioning and the story that is then told must be one voice. In conclusion the message I would leave for the region is one where the future seems bright. Of course to become a star in the meeting industry the region must up its marketing game and make it more accessible internation-ally. It would definitely benefit from greatly increased accessibility, more educational visits, from Ambassador Programmes but they already have a lot of other advan-tages. Young dedicated professionals, already actively “networking” themselves onto the buyer’s horizon and the politicians are listening and watching. They must be able to differentiate themselves positively from local competi-tors while still benefitting from synergies born out of such proximity. A meeting industry business plan must be implemented but countries such as Slovenia and Croatia have, so far, taken the right road. They clearly understand that part of the experience is the variety of landscapes, restaurants and places to visit all compacted into short distances, the friendliness of the locals, the surprising taste of their wines and the exquisite quality of the food, now they must learn to sell the business value, and especially in today’s economy.

So what are we waiting for? Let’s talk business!

The lively adventures of the Julian Alps are waiting for you in Kranjska Goraand its surroundings. There are countless adventures you can try, from anactive holiday to a peaceful discovering of nature and the cultural heritage.You can uncover the mystery of well-being in the rich wellness offer or attend business and social meetings.

The Kranjska Gora destination could also be renamed »bio« congressional tourism for it is never directed at crowded business events with a thousand participants but to quality business events of a medium calibre. The largest conference halls for business events at Kranjska Gors hotels can accommodate a good 350 participants. The exception is the Vitranc sports hall in which meetings for more than a thousand participants at leading and sports events, larger seminars, congresses, banquets and entertainment events can be organised.

Delicate surroundings of Triglav National Park put pressure on regional tourism development; soon the only possible form related to this particular area will be: Sustainable tourism or even merely its most distinguished form – Ecological tourism.

Bohinj Park ECO Hotel has been devoted to environmental issues since the beginning in 2009. The Green Globe recognition was an epic benchmark in the hotel’s steadfast effort to build itself as a responsible tourism destination. This achievement signified the hotel’s environmental orientation and proved its personnel, guests and public the seriousness of sustainable initiatives and the need for their further development.The ecological hotel continually applies new ideas into practice. In the beginning of February 2010 it has become the 1st Slovenian hotel with an electric filling station for hybrid and electric cars. Guests who drive electric cars are free to use it without charge, which is another attempt to boost green values. Hotel also encourages guests to use public transport by offering extra discounts for guests travelling by trains or buses, by providing bike hire, promoting mountain hiking, etc.

In 2010 Slovenian Tourist Board decided to reward Bohinj Park ECO Hotel as most promising innovation of the year with the Sejalec 2010 recognition. In February 2011 the hotel’s management received the Conventa Academy Innovation Award on account of its initiatives in the area of congress tourism: It is the only establishment, which offers the possibility of sustainable events organization in broad South-Eastern Europe. Wholesome, socially responsible, eco-friendly alternative of a business meeting is becoming not merely a trend but a mainstream feature, which signifies the importance of Bohinj Park ECO Hotel’s green vision, aiming to conserve the fragile nature of our planet on an international level.

Bohinj Park ECO Hotel therefore not only represents one of Europe’s most advanced ecological properties but it also aims to set general foundations of sustainable development in Slovene tourism.
