Klaric said in his interview with Hina on Thursday that the association welcomed the latest grant scheme under which 35-45 percent of investments by small and medium sized enterprises in tourism would be co-financed through subsidies. The maximum grant may be 10 million kuna under this loan programme.
The association currently includes some 200 members, and according to some estimates there are nearly 400 small and family-run hotels with 16,000 beds throughout Croatia
Entrepreneurship and Crafts Minister Gordan Maras presented the scheme at Croatian Tourism Days in Porec on Wednesday.
