Ante Peric, one of the pioneers of rural tourism in Ivankovo, village near Vinkovci in north-eastern part of continental Croatia, has realised what most people who live in Croatia today refuse to realise, and that is the fact that the number of tourist who come to Croatia to swim and sunbathe will keep decreasing.
The rural tourism association admits that the state should help the rural tourism in a special way in the area Vukovar-Srijem (where the Peric's farm is located) and in the area Osjek-Baranj, since there is a natural resort Kopacki rit, one of the biggest fish resorts in Europe.
It is impossible to explain why in Croatia today no body offers organised stay in continental part of the country to those tourist who come to the seaside, as the continental part is just as beautiful and interesting and it could be a perfect supplement to the holiday on the coast.
