The countdown is on, and the final details are being arranged for the upcoming 6th International Congress on Rural Tourism. More than 300 participants from about 20 European countries will take part in this international event, which will be hosted by the Le Meridien Lav hotel in Podstrana, from April 10 to 13, 2024. The awarding ceremony for the best young farmers in 2024 is also waiting for us.

The slogan of the 6th International Congress on Rural Tourism is "Rural tourism: sustainable, digital, inclusive". The Organization of the Congress, Patrons and Partners have gathered the professional and scientific elite from the field of rural tourism. Numerous lectures, inspiring panels, vivid discussions and interactive workshops are just part of the rich work offered by the recent Congress.

Through eight thematic areas and numerous sub-themes, respected experts, as well as international professors and lecturers from recognized universities, will talk about the European rural area, challenges and opportunities of special forms of rural tourism, innovations and new technologies, networking and human resources management. The congress offers an excellent and unique opportunity to meet leaders in the world of rural tourism, to present one's own work, professional development, career advancement and networking with experts.

Along with the lectures that will be held in the wonderful ambience of the Le Meridien Lav hotel, one of the unavoidable aspects will be authentic experiences and a real journey through local culture, tradition and gastronomy while you enjoy the beauty of the untouched nature of the Split-Dalmatia County.

While we impatiently count down the last hours before the start of the Congress and believe in another successful event ahead, follow us live, via livestream or on the Congress website. #smartvill4smarttour
