The Croatian Tourism Ministry will co-finance 21 projects in the Istrian tourism sector, to contribute to the development of tourism in the region.

The ministry will allocate HRK 1.13 million (around EUR 154,600) for projects, and contracts were signed in Porec earlier this month. 

The ministry's funds will be used to improve infrastructure, restore buildings and traditional houses in Istria, increase the quality of restaurants, for the production and sale of souvenirs, and building of pedestrian pathways.
