Zupan-Ruskovic said her talks with local hoteliers tackled demands
for the introduction of the 'permanent seasonal worker' status,
which local tourist employees embrace. She added the demand had
been forwarded to the government, and that if accepted, it would
enhance overall tourist results.
Despite plans for a 25 percent increase in tourist business this
year, the results will be even better, the minister said, adding the
number of overnight stays in the first six months was 79 percent
higher than last year.
