Members of the Department of Tourism of Virovitica University of Applied Sciences took an active part in the 7th International Congress on Rural Tourism, held in Rab from 6 to 9 May 2026, which brought together experts, scientists and tourism stakeholders from 28 countries.
As one of the organisers of the Congress, the University once again confirmed its important role in developing and promoting rural tourism and in connecting the academic community with industry practice. Representatives of the Department of Tourism took part in panel discussions, moderated parts of the programme and presented their scientific papers, contributing to discussions on the sustainable development of rural destinations, innovation in tourism and the challenges of today’s tourism market.
