Subscribe to the content of the HrTurizam.hr portal and support quality, not form

On December 01.12st, six years ago, a crazy adventure began called HrTurizam.hr, the tourist news portal you are on, which is today a multiple award-winning and leading tourist b2b portal in Croatia and the region. 

We've been through a lot together in these six years, and without your support I certainly wouldn't have lasted from day one to today. And this year was more than intense, unpredictable, exhausting, stormy and full of adjustment... and still is. But, regardless of everything, I am still proud because the portal fulfilled and continues to fulfill its mission. After almost two years of "stagnation" due to the pandemic, at least when it comes to the further development of the platform, it is time for a new step forward and the further development of the entire platform.

Let's move forward together bravely, because that's the only way we can develop as individuals and as a profession. And that's why I invite you to continue building a good and quality tourism story together.

I sincerely hope that the HrTurizam.hr portal has justified your trust over the past six years and will continue to do so, especially in the new year of 2022, when the recovery of the tourism sector is just beginning. 

The values ​​of the portal are best spoken about by others, i.e. you, our readers, and you will also best demonstrate this if you support the HrTurizam portal in its new challenges.

The plans for 2022 are as follows. 

1. Focus on even better content. Content and only content.
2. Subscription 
3. Self-sustainability and further development 
4. To be among the top 3 B2B travel portals in the world in terms of content quality 

We cannot, nor do we want to fight with the model of measuring success by clicks and total reach, which is not even the business model of b2b niche portals. Niche or b2b portals have a specific target group they address, and it is not in the very DNA of niche portals to struggle with reach. Also, niche portals started to be locked even before the pandemic, because simply producing quality content costs money and has its own value. Behind each author's article are years and years of experience and learning, as well as hours and hours spent on research, education and production in order to give a wider context to a story. That's the value we deliver. 

As of January 01st, the portal has been locked and we have switched to a subscription model, like all professional global portals in the b2b sector.

In order for niche media to be self-sustaining, the same trend of locking continued during the pandemic and will continue in the future, both on the global and domestic media scene.

So we at the HrTurizam.hr portal have decided to change our business model and all content is available only to subscribers. 

You can subscribe to the content at annually for the amount of 1.125 kuna ( + VAT 13%) per user, which amounts to HRK 94 per month (+ VAT 13%). I personally think that the portal already has that value, especially when we increase the quality of the content. The last six years of our existence is the only and best reference. 

Unfortunately, the current business model is unsustainable in the long term and there is no room for future growth and development. And we don't want to compromise on the quality of the content, we haven't so far and we won't in the future either. Everyone wants quality and independent media, right? Quality and value come at a price, both in the case of your service or product, and in the media world.

Quality information and knowledge have always been an investment, not an expense.

I sincerely hope that you will invest in a subscription to the HrTurizam.hr portal and stay up to date with all the latest news. relevant tourist information from Croatia and the world.

We will for that subscription value continue to deliver quality tourist information, stories and loud thoughts through minimal 1728 articles per year.

An important step forward towards platform development 

Content subscription will allow us to let's expand and strengthen the team with new employment, because our the focus remains only on quality content with much more analysis, interviews and stories. Also, in 2022 we will additionally globalize content with articles and think-alouds from colleagues in the tourism sector from around the world. 

All of the above are important steps towards the goal of making the HrTurizam.hr portal among the top 3 b2b tourism news portals in the world in terms of content qualityOf course, the focus will still be on Croatia, but with a global narrative and up-to-date content on a global level.

We will also soon introduce new look of the portal which will experience the biggest change in the background, i.e. in a technical sense. The new design of the portal has been arranged from start to finish, so that the portal is technically stable and much faster, which will result in a better reading experience. 

Thank you all for your support, criticism, comments, suggestions, and cooperation over the past six years. I hope to see you again in 2022.
