The mapping contained in the Adriatic Sea Tourism Report 2026, to be presented during the eighth edition of the Adriatic Sea Forum \u2013 Cruise, Ferry, Sail & Yacht, scheduled to take place in Venice on Thursday 25th and Friday 26th June
\nAmong the key topics of the forum: the value of maritime tourism for the countries overlooking the Adriatic Sea
\n\u00a0More than \u20ac340 million in maritime tourism investments across Adriatic ports reaching completion in 2026, including \u20ac252 million in Italy and at least \u20ac90 million in countries along the Balkan coast.
\nThese are the first previews from the Adriatic Sea Tourism Report 2026, the research report produced by Risposte Turismo \u2013 a research and consulting company serving the macro-tourism industry \u2013 which will be presented during the eighth edition of the Adriatic Sea Forum \u2013 Cruise, Ferry, Sail & Yacht, the itinerant international event dedicated to maritime tourism in the Adriatic. The forum is devised and organised by Risposte Turismo itself, this year in partnership with the North Adriatic Sea Port Authority, scheduled to take place in Venice on Thursday 25th and Friday 26th June at the Auditorium delle Procuratie, Fondazione THSN, and Ca\u2019 Dolfin, at the Aula Magna Silvio Trentin of Ca\u2019 Foscari University of Venice.
\nMore specifically, by the end of 2026, the mapped investments along the Italian Adriatic coast will cover several areas: the main ones are linked to the operational launch of the new cruise terminal and the implementation of the cold ironing system at Porto Corsini in Ravenna (\u20ac68 million) and the electrification of ferry berths in the Port of Ancona (\u20ac9.8 million). Significant activities are also planned for Venice (\u20ac90 million allocated for the deployment of cold ironing both in the historic city and in the Porto Marghera and Fusina areas) and Chioggia. In Chioggia, in addition to \u20ac6 million allocated to cold ironing, maintenance dredging activities worth nearly \u20ac9 million will soon begin, aimed at improving nautical accessibility.
\nIn the lagoon ports, activities related to the extraordinary commissioner-led projects are also ongoing \u2014 namely the Vittorio Emanuele and Malamocco-Marghera channels, as well as the terminal at Canale Nord, which is still undergoing environmental impact assessment. These projects collectively involve already funded investments amounting to \u20ac135 million.
\nAlso in 2026, works will be completed to expand the number of moorings at Marina Fiorita, Darsena Le Saline, Romea Yachting Club and Marina Dorica (\u20ac4 million), as well as submerged relocation works in the Port of Pesaro, where quay electrification works for smaller vessels are also underway.
\nIn Bari and Brindisi, dredging operations are in progress to guarantee access for larger vessels, with an investment of \u20ac3.5 million for the Port of Bari and \u20ac19.4 million for Brindisi. Seabed works will also affect Manfredonia (\u20ac5.2 million) and Barletta (\u20ac6 million). In the coming months Bari\u2019s second cruise terminal will also be completed, a project worth \u20ac11.5 million.
As for the Balkan coast, mapped investments are mainly concentrated in Croatia and include the completion by the end of the year of the new ACI Marina Rijeka at Porto Baro\u0161 (\u20ac50 million), the construction of the new ferry terminal in the Port of Split (over \u20ac17 million), the inauguration of the new cruise hub in \u0160ibenik (\u20ac8 million), and the completion of the redevelopment works at the Port of Ba\u0161ka (\u20ac5.4 million).
\nThese are joined by approximately \u20ac9 million relating to mooring expansion works at Marina Korkyra, Luka Brna and Luka Vela Jana in Croatia, Luka Budva in Montenegro, and Marina Izola in Slovenia.
\n\u00abOur analysis mapping the investments needed to expand or upgrade port infrastructure of the Adriatic in 2026, highlights a strong ferment on both shores of the Adriatic, with projects ranging from terminal construction to dredging, from the opening of new marinas to energy efficiency improvements in ports\u00bb commented Francesco di Cesare, President of Risposte Turismo. \u00abThis \u2013 di Cesare continued \u2013 is a sign that entrepreneurs, and with them the region’s governments and public administrations, believe in the development of this sector and the economic and employment benefits it can bring. A competitive landscape emerges, therefore, aimed at continuous improvement. A landscape that highlights how a shared vision and the collaboration of all stakeholders can enhance the Adriatic as a premier tourist destination and enable it to gain market share on the international stage\u00bb.
\nTopics of the eighth edition of the forum
\nAt the center of the forum, the value of maritime tourism for the countries overlooking the Adriatic Sea.
\nAmong the main topics to be addressed during the many sessions \u2013 round tables, keynote speeches and presentations \u2013 of the Adriatic Sea Forum 2026: the future scenario for the Adriatic as a tourism destination, impacts of climate change on the maritime tourism dynamics in the area, the value of maritime tourism for Adriatic Countries, and the actual relevance of nautical tourism along the Adriatic coast.
\nThere will also be space dedicated to smart and sustainable mobility in the Adriatic area, how cities welcome maritime tourists, ferries as facilitators of the Adriatic as a single destination and the possible revival of the Adriatic as a cruise macro area.
\n\u00abWe are delighted to bring the Adriatic Sea Forum to Venice this year, a symbolic city of the Adriatic and the place where Risposte Turismo was founded and is based. A tourism capital located in an area distinguished by its outstanding natural and landscape heritage, as well as by its many high-value historical and artistic destinations\u00bb, continued Francesco di Cesare \u2013 President of Risposte Turismo. \u00abThe eighth edition of the forum takes place during a historical phase marked by strong international uncertainty, prompting new reflections on maritime tourism dynamics, to which we will dedicate space during the two working days. The selected topics range from destination governance to entrepreneurial challenges and, thanks to the many speakers involved, will face both the sector as a whole and its individual components. Since the very first edition, our goal has been to help give the Adriatic the central role it deserves within the international tourism landscape, offering a recurring opportunity for dialogue among operators, as well as a reliable source of updated data and information\u00bb, concluded di Cesare.
\nCollateral initiatives: Alumni@ASF, the CROSS-CONNECT project, and a new call under the Italy\u2013Croatia Programme
\nAdriatic Sea Forum 2026 will once again host a range of collateral initiatives. A special focus will be placed on young people with the new edition of Alumni@ASF, which will allow a selected group of 30 students or recent graduates from universities and master\u2019s programmes in countries bordering both sides of the Adriatic to take part in the event, follow its sessions, and engage with industry operators (applications are open until Friday, May 29 at the following link).
\nThe Forum will also provide an opportunity to present the final results of the CROSSCONNECT project (\u201cCross-border Coordinated Sea-Land Approach Interconnecting Ports of the Adriatic Sea with Airports and Urban Areas\u201d), to which the Adriatic Sea Forum will dedicate a session of the programme this year. Topics will include the decarbonisation of airport and port operations and the implementation of a new approach for more efficient passenger and baggage flow management, based on the \u201cFly&Cruise\u201d model.![\"\"](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/Adriatic-Sea-Forum_Cruise-Ferry-Sail-Yacht_-ed.-2022-scaled.jpg\")
During the Forum, information will also be provided on the ADRIJOUROUTES project, aimed at enhancing the value of ports, and the \u201cVia Querinissima\u201d initiative for intercultural dialogue. Attention will also be given to funding opportunities supporting projects in the Adriatic area, including the presentation of the fourth call of the Interreg Italy\u2013Croatia Programme.Participation in the Adriatic Sea Forum \u2013 Cruise, Ferry, Sail & Yacht, which will be held in English with Italian and Croatian translation available, is possible upon registration (link).
\nThe 2026 edition of the forum is organised in collaboration with the Port System Authority of the Northern Adriatic Sea and with Bassani Group as main sponsor. Plus Marine and Mastercard are also sponsors. The event will be supported by Venezia Terminal Passeggeri and Venice Yacht Pier. Adriatic Sea Forum \u2013 Cruise, Ferry, Sail & Yacht is held under the patronage of the European Commission and the Municipality of Venice.

\nHistorically Minor Hotels operated under asset-heavy models, through ownership or lease agreements, and now is evolving towards an asset-light model, focused on franchise and management agreements, enabling agile and scalable growth.

\nDebut in Croatia and Slovenia
\nAs part of this strategy, Minor Hotels recently announced a management agreement with MK Group to operate its first two properties in Croatia and Slovenia. The group\u2019s entry into Slovenia will come through Hotel Palace Portoro\u017e, a 183-room resort known for its heritage in wellness and gastronomy. In Croatia, the company will debut with Adriatic Istria Resort in Savudrija, a 186-room complex with direct beach access and to the region\u2019s first golf course.

\n
Both properties, whose operations were assumed by the group in February 2026, will undergo extensive refurbishment ahead of their relaunch in early 2027 under the luxury brands Minor Reserve Collection and Anantara, respectively. These additions represent Minor Hotels\u2019 entry into two new strategic markets and mark an important milestone in its growth across the Adriatic region.
\nThe Balkans and the CIS: strategic regions for Minor Hotels\u2019 growth
\nThe Balkans region is becoming a priority for Minor Hotels\u2019 European expansion thanks to its growing appeal for cultural, nature and wellness tourism. The company is currently exploring development opportunities in major cities as well as mountain, lake and coastal destinations, with the aim of tailoring its offering to the specific characteristics of each market and the cultural legacy of each destination.
\nAt the same time, the CIS markets represent another strategic growth focus with their own distinct dynamics. Kazakhstan stands out as one of the most investment-ready markets in the region, while Uzbekistan is experiencing accelerated development driven by institutional support for tourism infrastructure. Meanwhile, the rise of lifestyle tourism in Georgia is creating favourable conditions for the introduction of premium concepts. With its portfolio of 12 brands, ranging from the midscale segment with iStay Hotels by NH to premium brands like NH Collection or Colbert Collection and to luxury brands such as Anantara and Minor Reserve Collection, the group aims to offer tailored solutions that enhance returns for local owners.
\n![\"\"](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/Mikhail_Kolesnik_profile-pic.jpeg\")
To support this new phase of development and strengthen its execution capabilities in the region, Minor Hotels has appointed Mikhail Kolesnik as Regional Director of Development for the Inland Balkans and the CIS. In this role, he will lead the identification and origination of new business opportunities in markets including Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Romania, Bulgaria, Georgia and the CIS region.
\nKolesnik brings more than 15 years of experience in hotel investment, business planning and asset management. A graduate of the prestigious SKEMA Business School, he has held key roles in Marriott\u2019s development team for Eastern Europe and, more recently, in the management of luxury portfolios in the Black Sea region and the planning of large-scale projects in the Middle East. His appointment strengthens Minor Hotels\u2019 development structure in a region that is key to its future growth.
\nReporting to the development leadership of Minor Hotels Europe & Americas, Mikhail Kolesnik will spearhead efforts to secure new projects, with a focus on franchise and management agreements.
\nA strategic step to accelerate regional expansion
\n\u201cMikhail\u2019s appointment represents a major strategic step forward in accelerating our presence in regions with such extraordinary potential as the Balkans and the CIS. His strong technical track record in investment and development will enable us to connect with local partners seeking to elevate their assets to international standards. We are confident that his leadership will be key to positioning Minor Hotels as a company of reference in these markets, bringing operational flexibility and a differentiated proposition to both urban destinations and luxury and wellness enclaves,\u201d said Laia Lahoz, Chief Assets and Development Officer of Minor Hotels Europe & Americas.
\nThis new addition to the expansion team reinforces Minor Hotels\u2019 commitment to strategic and sustained growth, not only in terms of hotel volume, but also through the opening of new territories and the consolidation of its leadership in the global hospitality industry.

\nConference room – formality at a high level
\nThe conference hall is intended for the formal part of business events. Equipped with modern technology and comfortable seating (up to 120 chairs), the hall provides the perfect setting for conferences, seminars, workshops, sales presentations or meetings.

The air-conditioned space provides an ideal temperature regardless of the weather conditions. Large windows allow for plenty of natural light, creating an inspiring environment for productive work. If light is not necessary, the hall is equipped with the most modern mechanism so that with the click of a button, the blinds can be lowered and the daylight significantly reduced.
\nIn addition to technical equipment for presentations (2 projectors, audio system), we also ensure top-notch service in order to provide your guests with the best experience.
\nIn case of need (if the number of people is small), the hall can be partitioned with movable walls. Next to the conference hall, on the same floor, there is a Plaza Bar where your guests can relax, take a break during the event break, enjoy Vhun coffee and refreshing drinks with a view of U\u0161\u0107e, Kalemegdan, Belgrade Waterfront and Gardo\u0161.

The hall is air-conditioned and independent of weather conditions. It also has a modern audio system as well as a large television that can be used if necessary.
A team of experienced professionals
\nWhat sets Plaza Bar apart is the dedication to detail and close cooperation with clients, from initial concept to realization. Our team carefully plans the event together with you, we agree on the schedule, the agenda, even the decorative details.
\nResponsibility, honest relationship and professionalism are the standards we apply in our work. We perceive each event as a unique project and adapt to its needs.
\nAll in one place![\"\"](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/Picture2-1.jpg\")
The Conference Room, Event Space and Bar are located in the same place, so you don’t have to worry about whether the service will be complete. Welcome coffee, breakfast, lunch or dinner, as well as drinks during the rental period are immediately available. That is why the entire concept is one of the rarest in Belgrade.
\nAn event to remember
\nSo far, we have hosted the largest companies in the region, and the guests’ impression has always been more than positive.
\nThe most important thing for us is that the quality of service is at the highest level, that every detail we agree on is respected and that we establish long-term cooperation with our clients. We know how stressful every event that is organized is, that’s why we are here to make sure that everything goes as it should and that it remains a good memory for a long time.
