Its purpose and that of all digital services devised is to improve the efficiency of public services and communication between citizens, tourism entities and public administration, she said.

The EU has financed the project with €4.4 million, which is 85% of the necessary funding, and its total value is €5.2 million, with the rest having been provided by the Tourism and Sports Ministry, whose project partners were the Croatian Tourism Board and the Split-Dalmatia County Tourism Board.

Havidić said the project would make it possible to obtain online all documents on the provision, registration or change of tourism services.

Five services in e-tourism system

There are three new services as a result of the project - TuStart, TuRiznica and TuRegistar, with the previous two - eVisitor, the tourist registration system and the Croatia.hr portal, which presents Croatia's tourism services and information, having been upgraded.
