\n![\"\"](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/Andrea-Knezy.jpg\")
Congress Center Master is supported by state institutions in an effort to present Novi Sad as one\u00ad of\u00ad a \u00adkind MICE destination. What does this partnership include?
\nThe Congress Center Master is a key institution working to attract and organize national and international professional and business meetings in Novi Sad. We work with a number of national institutions, the Government of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, the City of Novi Sad, the Serbia Convention Bureau, whose logistical, institutional, and financial platforms support scientific and business associations, companies, and corporations that hold their meetings at the Novi Sad Fair. Using the synergy of all relevant stakeholders in the process of applying for hosting international events, we are showcasing the strength of the destination\u2019s uniqueness and the profession in the given field. Then our city not only becomes an international center where the latest developments and achievements in different professions and sciences are shared, but also it enhances the business environment, international visibility, and business prospects on the global stage.
\nThis year is especially important for Novi Sad \u2013 the city was voted the European Youth Capital in 2019, and in 2021 it will also be the European Capital of Culture. What exactly does that mean for the city?
\nOur strategic focus involves supporting, creating, and participating in programs that promote the city as a destination for young, enterprising, and creative people from Serbia and across Europe, as well as a place where they can start or continue running their businesses and bring together any one who wants to offer their services and ideas on the global market.
\nThat means that in the coming period the City of Novi Sad is set to host a whole series of conferences, seminars, and business meetings that will create a dynamic environment and an opportunity to promote Novi Sad in key sectors.
![\"\"](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/0F1A5398_resize-Copy.jpg\")
Novi Sad is also recognized as a destination for organizing international conferences and professional business events. Next year, Master Congress Center Master will be hosting two international conventions with more than 1,000 participants. What are these conventions?
\nOur main task is to partner up with the MICE industry and leading professors, scientists, and doctors who are active members of international associations and apply to host important global conventions. Our activities are targeting associations that are capable of appealing to international conventions and business events. Those very strategic activities have led to more than 2,500 events taking place at the Congress Center Master so far, and next year we will be hosting two global conventions with more than 1,000 participants. The convention center\u2019s long\u00adtime partner is Novi Sad\u2019s Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops, a two-\u00adtime world champion having earned the title for 20th International Sunflower Conference 2020 and World Soybean Research Conference XI.
\n![\"\"](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/02.02.2017-133.jpg\")
What do you think will traditional trade show events look like in the future?
\nLocal and global trends and developments have brought about new leanings towards cutting down the number of days and grandiose promotions, while the focus is shifting towards the target business audience, ready\u00ad-made platforms for closing deals and selling ideas, services, and products. In addition to a slew of activities geared towards improved targeted publicity, better internal positioning, modern event branding, and strategies for exhibiting and participating concepts, the segment coming to the fore as the most important includes professional events, seminars, trainings, and workshops. Events centered around agri culture, medicine, and IT will surely remain a priority in the Convention Center\u2019s calendar in the coming period.
\n![\"\"](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/10-godina-retro.jpg\")
In terms of business, what do you remember the past 10 years by?
\nThe challenges that the Novi Sad Fair\u2019s management faced, wherein as the executive director I encountered a series of business decisions and responsibilities. My years of experience contributed to professional growth, personal and professional development, numerous new contacts, new skills in different fields acquired by coworkers and clients while agreeing events. However, the most memorable moments in the last ten years were the teamwork in the MICE Activity Department and the excellent business results brought forth by the combined efforts.
\nWhat has your business journey looked like since then?
\nI can freely say that I live my work and I work in an industry that I\u2019ve always wanted to become part of… It was quite natural that my professional track record led me to the role of Executive Director at the Master Congress Center. When the Serbian Convention Bureau was launched, I remember I was very happy and proud to be presenting the Novi Sad Convention Bureau and representing all relevant entities in the city\u2019s MICE industry.
\nWhat are you particularly proud of from the last decade?
\nI am proud of the SEEbtm Award we won as the region\u2019s best convention center \u2013 Best Convention Venue 2018 \u2013 thanks to votes from our associates, clients, and business partners. I\u2019m proud of our clients for getting better in planning their events, their support leading to an increased number of events annually at the convention center, all newly acquired contacts and skills, and the convention center\u2019s team, which has been growing together with me over the years. People rarely have the opportunity to try out most things they see, hear, or read about with their company teams, and my job made this possible for me.

This year will be memorable as it was our first jubilee as August 1st marked the fifth anniversary of the ope\u00adning of Regent Porto Montenegro. On the eve of the anniversary, the BAIA was the third wing to open at the hotel after an investment of \u20ac36 million. We have now architecturally completed the hotel project and today we offer our guests a diversified selection of rooms, residences and elite pentho\u00aduses, which we consider to be the best gift for the five-year anniversary for our guests. The unobtrusive luxury and great design are the work of international architectural firm WATG and Tin Zervudachi, a celebrated interior designer from the eminent Mlinaric, Henry & Zervudachi company, who, through our two existing wings, is behind the already recognizable na\u00adutical design. Most of the rooms have views of the sea, the Bay of Kotor and the hotel\u2019s infinity pool, wh\u00adich was named one of the 30 best hotel pools in the world in 2018. Personalized guest services, a rich restaurant offering, and the Spa continues to be, in addition to exceptional comfort, the prime feature of any stay at Regent Porto Montenegro.
\nWhat kind of identity Regent and Porto Mon\u00adtenegro bear as the business destination?
\nMontenegro is very interesting business destination. However we believe that we succeeded differentiating ourselves as the ideal car la\u00adunch destination. Parallel to the great collaboration with the in\u00adternational MICE agencies, we take pride in the fact that our partners from the region and many other countries around the world have chosen us to host some of the most important confere\u00adnces and corporate events for their company and business partners. With 230 corporate events behind us, we can conclude that we\u2019ve had an exceptional year. Customised guest service is our trademark and we were thrilled to be recognized for this in this year\u2019s Forbes Tra\u00advel Guide \u2013 the only independent rating system for hotels, restaurants and spas globally \u2013 which scored our hotel highly for customer service. Even though that the service and the hotel facilities are rated, most of the standards \u2013 up to 75% refer to the service. Reasons for this are substantial guests\u2019 expectations of the five star hotel; each detail counts as much as the content of a stay and visits of the cultural and natural attractions. We are proud of the progress we made as a system; we have welcomed numerous positive reactions of the guests which ultimately led to the positive business results especially in the Food and Beverage department. It is worth noting that last year we became part of IHG, a global hotel group with over 5,723 hotels worldwide. Integrating our
\nsy\u00ads\u00adtems, as well as the combination of ex\u00adpe\u00adrience within the reservation, sales and marketing systems has been our main goal to reach our target audience worldwide and in the region.

What business clients may expect from Regent hotel in the future?
\nNew offerings that we would like to highlight are the numerous options available for creating great incentive trips and team buildings within the hotel and Porto Montenegro nautical village. Numerous facilities and activities are available to create the ideal package according to the needs of employees for team buildings and incentive trips. Sports such as tennis, sailing and SUP boarding are all available, as well as exploring the hinterland of Boka Kotorska, relaxing spa experiences, wine tasting, gourmet workshops and competitive cooking workshops under the supervision of our experienced chef. I would like to highlight the expansive area of Porto Montenegro Arena which has extraordinary intelligent content thought through; activities such as archery, cricket, croquet, miniature golf and laser clay shooting are available as the interesting elements for the team building trips.
\n
In terms of business, what do you remember the past 10 years by?
\nI am extremely grateful that I have testified to the development of the luxury hotel industry within the region and very proud of my humble contribution to the same. The period of 10 years I will remember after inspiring leaders that I have had honor working with, digitization of business and number of agencies and tour operators I have worked with solely via internet and achieved extraordinary results..
\nWhat has your business journey looked like since then?
\nDuring my 14 years of career in hospitality, I have held various sales and marketing management roles within international hotel chains. I joined Regent as Director of Sales and since 2018 I am honored to lead Sales and Marketing department at Regent Porto Montenegro. I have enjoyed each and single chapter of the business growth.

On the eve of the anniversary, the BAIA was the third wing to open at the hotel after an investment of \u20ac36 million. We have now architecturally completed the hotel project and today we offer our guests a diversified selection of rooms, residences and elite pentho\u00aduses, which we consider to be the best gift for the five-year anniversary for our guests. The unobtrusive luxury and great design are the work of international architectural firm WATG and Tin Zervudachi, a celebrated interior designer from the eminent Mlinaric, Henry & Zervudachi company, who, through our two existing wings, is behind the already recognizable na\u00adutical design. Most of the rooms have views of the sea, the Bay of Kotor and the hotel\u2019s infinity pool, wh\u00adich was named one of the 30 best hotel pools in the world in 2018. Personalized guest services, a rich restaurant offering, and the Spa continues to be, in addition to exceptional comfort, the prime feature of any stay at Regent Porto Montenegro.\nWhat kind of identity Regent and Porto Mon\u00adtenegro bear as the business destination?\n\nMontenegro is very interesting business destination. However we believe that we succeeded differentiating ourselves as the ideal car la\u00adunch destination. Parallel to the great collaboration with the in\u00adternational MICE agencies, we take pride in the fact that our partners from the region and many other countries around the world have chosen us to host some of the most important confere\u00adnces and corporate events for their company and business partners. With 230 corporate events behind us, we can conclude that we\u2019ve had an exceptional year. Customised guest service is our trademark and we were thrilled to be recognized for this in this year\u2019s Forbes Tra\u00advel Guide \u2013 the only independent rating system for hotels, restaurants and spas globally \u2013 which scored our hotel highly for customer service. Even though that the service and the hotel facilities are rated, most of the standards \u2013 up to 75% refer to the service. Reasons for this are substantial guests\u2019 expectations of the five star hotel; each detail counts as much as the content of a stay and visits of the cultural and natural attractions. We are proud of the progress we made as a system; we have welcomed numerous positive reactions of the guests which ultimately led to the positive business results especially in the Food and Beverage department. It is worth noting that last year we became part of IHG, a global hotel group with over 5,723 hotels worldwide. Integrating our\nsy\u00ads\u00adtems, as well as the combination of ex\u00adpe\u00adrience within the reservation, sales and marketing systems has been our main goal to reach our target audience worldwide and in the region.\n\n\nWhat business clients may expect from Regent hotel in the future?\nNew offerings that we would like to highlight are the numerous options available for creating great incentive trips and team buildings within the hotel and Porto Montenegro nautical village. Numerous facilities and activities are available to create the ideal package according to the needs of employees for team buildings and incentive trips. Sports such as tennis, sailing and SUP boarding are all available, as well as exploring the hinterland of Boka Kotorska, relaxing spa experiences, wine tasting, gourmet workshops and competitive cooking workshops under the supervision of our experienced chef. I would like to highlight the expansive area of Porto Montenegro Arena which has extraordinary intelligent content thought through; activities such as archery, cricket, croquet, miniature golf and laser clay shooting are available as the interesting elements for the team building trips.\n\nIn terms of business, what do you remember the past 10 years by? \nI am extremely grateful that I have testified to the development of the luxury hotel industry within the region and very proud of my humble contribution to the same. The period of 10 years I will remember after inspiring leaders that I have had honor working with, digitization of business and number of agencies and tour operators I have worked with solely via internet and achieved extraordinary results..\nWhat has your business journey looked like since then? \nDuring my 14 years of career in hospitality, I have held various sales and marketing management roles within international hotel chains. I joined Regent as Director of Sales and since 2018 I am honored to lead Sales and Marketing department at Regent Porto Montenegro. I have enjoyed each and single chapter of the business growth.\nWhat are you particularly proud of from the last decade? \nI am proud of each single step taken and every single resolved challenge.

\nHow important are trade shows as events for establishing business partnerships and collaborations?
\nOur trade shows are much more than that. Their modern concepts promote cooperation between countries and economies and integrate improvements of skills, production, and science development. In addition, they promote the importance of innovation and represent a synthesis of experience and achievements in the Serbian economy. The international events we host are also the meeting place of the East and the West, the economy, politics, and diplomacy, as well as professional audiences and science.

Can you tell us about the Novi Sad Fair\u2019s most important past and planned investments?
\nIn order to remain competitive, the Novi Sad Fair must continue to invest in the company\u2019s fixed assets. The most significant investments include the renovations of halls and equipment, targeting more functional and easier trade show and other rentals. We invested in upgrading the management and CCTV systems, Wi\u00adFi, convention center equipment, computer equipment, and other systems that ensure competitiveness in the modern business environment.
\nHow are specialist meetings growing into events and how much do they contribute to the development of traditional trade show events?
\nIn the early 2000, \u02bafourth generation\u02ba trade shows started to emerge. This involved the necessary expansions of offerings with specialized activities \u2014 trainings, conferences, and professional events. For this reason, the Novi Sad Fair is building Congress Center Master. Business people have little time and they need to be provided with a single place where they can do everything under the required conditions. Those were the building blocks of \u02bafourth generation\u02ba trade shows. With the opening of the Congress Center, the Novi Sad Fair\u2019s comparative advantage becomes one of the most prestigious and modern convention venues in this part of Eu rope. Our non\u00ad-trade show time slots are filled with events that bring together experts, business people, and scientists coming from a wide variety of fields. Some of these events, along with talks and educations, as an additional segment, also develop practical presentations over time. That is one of the ways for meetings to evolve into bigger events.

The Novi Sad Fair is a member of many international associations. What are the most significant among them, and how does membership help the fair\u2019s international reputation?
\nThe Novi Sad Fair is a member of the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI), Central European Fair Alliance (CEFA), European Federation of Agricultural Exhibition and Show Organisers (EURASCO), and International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA). Memberships in these organizations contribute to sharing experiences, networking, and monitoring the latest trends. The fact that the Novi Sad Fair is not merely a formal member in these organizations is reflected in the Fair hosting the General Assembly of the Central European Fair Alliance, which brings together 18 venues from 12 countries, as well as the General Assembly of the European Federation of Agricultural Exhibitions and Show Organisers, which took place at the milestone 80th International Agricultural Fair, attended by representatives of 26 agricultural trade shows from 21 countries.

We spoke with Ivana Perkovic, Sales and Marketing Director, about the importance of tradition, congress guests and further business plans.
\n![\"Ivana](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/Ivana-Perkovi\u0107-Direktor-prodaje-i-marketinga-.jpg\")
Hotel Dubrovnik in Zagreb is well known, beside it\u2019s excellent location, by it\u2019s 90 years old tradition. Could you tell us more about it?
\nHotel Dubrovnik just celebrated 90 years in providing service to his guests, domestic and from abroad. The story began as early as 1929, when hotel Milinov opened his doors to the guests. It was named after famous merchant Svetozar Milinov, who was its actual first owner. Hotel was designed in art deco style and at the time presented one of the most significant buildings on the main city square. What made the bu ilding itself special was the statue of roman god Mercury that was transferred there from the house of another famous merchant from Zagreb, Pavao Hatz. The sculptor that brought it to life is Anton Dominik Fenkorn later known for making of even more famous statue, that of ban Josip Jelacic right across the hotel. Shipping company Dubrovacka plovidba bought the hotel in 1942 and decided to have it the name that bears today, Hotel Dubrovnik and in early eighties up graded it with the new glass wing and additional 152 rooms. It\u2019s worth to mention our unmissable Cafe Dubrovnik, one of the oldest and most famous of Zagreb\u2019s cafes that has for decades hosted significant names from business and cultural milieu and all true lovers of culture and beautiful living. All this makes Ho tel Dubrovnik one of the pioneers of hospitality and tourism in Zagreb which we are very proud of and celebrated it with our long term partners earlier this year.
\nFor the past nine years, you have been constantly working on remodeling your hotel and improving your service. What is all done?
\nWe started the first renovations of the hotel capacities in 2010 with complete restauration of the existing conference rooms. Thanks to our long term partners, an AV company, that helped with the suggestions, they have been transformed into multi functional spaces with the most modern technical equipment, necessary for organization of all types of events. Our clients have 12 conference rooms with the capacity of 7 to 250 participants at their disposal. Next large-scale project was renovation of reception, lobby and complete interior of the glass building, with ecological aspect of replacing the facade with energy saving glass. During that whole period hotel rooms and suites have been renovated as well \u2013 taking into account that we are hotel that works al year around and that we have regular guests, we decided to set a certain number of rooms that will go into renovation each year. Due to the fact that hotel is built in thirties in the past century, certain number of the single rooms, rooms exclusively for one person, was exceptionally small in regards to modern standards and growing competition so we merged two rooms into one. With that process we got new category of rooms, deluxe rooms ideal for all guests who appreciate comfort and aesthetics. Hotel currently has 214 rooms and 8 suites designed for maximum comfort and functionality.
\n![\"\"](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/CR0_3392.jpg\")
What is it that business guests especially appreciate about Hotel Dubrovnik Zagreb?
\nLocation wise, Hotel Dubrovnik presents ideal choice for tourists and business guests alike. Guests usually spend maximum of two nights in Zagreb so it is very important to business guests to still have time to visit city landmarks or just chill in one of the nearby bars or restaurants, without having to go there by car, after a long working day. At just a few steps away from the Hotel you can find main city attractions, significant cultural and business institutions, shopping areas and many other interesting locations. The next thing I have to mention is the service we provide \u2013 our staff excels in knowledge of profession and are the real reason why our partners are loyal to us and continue to use our services. I would also highlight the fact that all our conference rooms have natural daylight and most of them have beautiful views of the city as well as the possibility of parking in a strict pedestrian zone which I know is very important to the clients.
\n![\"\"](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/srp-verzija-slika-2.jpg\")
Can you tell us a bit about further plans of Hotel Dubrovnik Zagreb?
\nOur definite goal is to become one of the best business hotels in Zagreb and for that reason we intend to do everything in our power to achieve it. That means continuation of hotel rooms and capacities renovation and improving the service we provide in terms of adjusting it to the needs of a business guest but not losing from our focus the leisure guests that visit Zagreb and our hotel. We specialized in smaller events because of the capacities we have at our disposal but we hope for the larger ones which should follow once the congress center is built in Zagreb, at last in terms of accommodation. We will be able to test our competences next year given the fact that Croatia presides the European Union and expects great number of events during first six months.
\n
In terms of business, what do you remember the past 10 years by?
\nWe will remember the past ten years by gradual recovery of tourist movements after its deterioration which culminated in 2008., by increasing share of reservations made through online tourist agencies which as a channel was in its creation ten years ago and by growing interest and demand for organization of banquet and convention events.
\nWhat has your business journey looked like since then?
\nAll this time I had nothing but support from the colleagues in sales department that bear great responsibility for the work we do. Hotel Dubrovnik experienced complete transformation with mentioned renovations in the past ten years and profiled itself again as an indispensable business hotel in Zagreb. As far as I am concerned, during this period I have experienced all segments of sales department \u2013 from individual and leisure group reservation coordinator, through Key account manager to the position I am on now.
\nWhat are you particularly proud of from the last decade?
\nForemost of outstanding results that we achieve but also of the working atmosphere that enables it \u2013 most of our employees have been with us for a long time now and for some of them this has been and still is the only job they had. We are all like one big family, it is nice to know every colleague by their name.

\n", "content_text": "Practice has shown us that when modern business relies on tradition, good results are guaranteed.\nHotel Dubrovnik Zagreb, with a truly rich history, tells its own story. We spoke with Ivana Perkovic, Sales and Marketing Director, about the importance of tradition, congress guests and further business plans.\nIvana Perkovic\nHotel Dubrovnik in Zagreb is well known, beside it\u2019s excellent location, by it\u2019s 90 years old tradition. Could you tell us more about it? \nHotel Dubrovnik just celebrated 90 years in providing service to his guests, domestic and from abroad. The story began as early as 1929, when hotel Milinov opened his doors to the guests. It was named after famous merchant Svetozar Milinov, who was its actual first owner. Hotel was designed in art deco style and at the time presented one of the most significant buildings on the main city square. What made the bu ilding itself special was the statue of roman god Mercury that was transferred there from the house of another famous merchant from Zagreb, Pavao Hatz. The sculptor that brought it to life is Anton Dominik Fenkorn later known for making of even more famous statue, that of ban Josip Jelacic right across the hotel. Shipping company Dubrovacka plovidba bought the hotel in 1942 and decided to have it the name that bears today, Hotel Dubrovnik and in early eighties up graded it with the new glass wing and additional 152 rooms. It\u2019s worth to mention our unmissable Cafe Dubrovnik, one of the oldest and most famous of Zagreb\u2019s cafes that has for decades hosted significant names from business and cultural milieu and all true lovers of culture and beautiful living. All this makes Ho tel Dubrovnik one of the pioneers of hospitality and tourism in Zagreb which we are very proud of and celebrated it with our long term partners earlier this year.\nFor the past nine years, you have been constantly working on remodeling your hotel and improving your service. What is all done? \nWe started the first renovations of the hotel capacities in 2010 with complete restauration of the existing conference rooms. Thanks to our long term partners, an AV company, that helped with the suggestions, they have been transformed into multi functional spaces with the most modern technical equipment, necessary for organization of all types of events. Our clients have 12 conference rooms with the capacity of 7 to 250 participants at their disposal. Next large-scale project was renovation of reception, lobby and complete interior of the glass building, with ecological aspect of replacing the facade with energy saving glass. During that whole period hotel rooms and suites have been renovated as well \u2013 taking into account that we are hotel that works al year around and that we have regular guests, we decided to set a certain number of rooms that will go into renovation each year. Due to the fact that hotel is built in thirties in the past century, certain number of the single rooms, rooms exclusively for one person, was exceptionally small in regards to modern standards and growing competition so we merged two rooms into one. With that process we got new category of rooms, deluxe rooms ideal for all guests who appreciate comfort and aesthetics. Hotel currently has 214 rooms and 8 suites designed for maximum comfort and functionality.\n\nWhat is it that business guests especially appreciate about Hotel Dubrovnik Zagreb? \nLocation wise, Hotel Dubrovnik presents ideal choice for tourists and business guests alike. Guests usually spend maximum of two nights in Zagreb so it is very important to business guests to still have time to visit city landmarks or just chill in one of the nearby bars or restaurants, without having to go there by car, after a long working day. At just a few steps away from the Hotel you can find main city attractions, significant cultural and business institutions, shopping areas and many other interesting locations. The next thing I have to mention is the service we provide \u2013 our staff excels in knowledge of profession and are the real reason why our partners are loyal to us and continue to use our services. I would also highlight the fact that all our conference rooms have natural daylight and most of them have beautiful views of the city as well as the possibility of parking in a strict pedestrian zone which I know is very important to the clients.\n\nCan you tell us a bit about further plans of Hotel Dubrovnik Zagreb? \nOur definite goal is to become one of the best business hotels in Zagreb and for that reason we intend to do everything in our power to achieve it. That means continuation of hotel rooms and capacities renovation and improving the service we provide in terms of adjusting it to the needs of a business guest but not losing from our focus the leisure guests that visit Zagreb and our hotel. We specialized in smaller events because of the capacities we have at our disposal but we hope for the larger ones which should follow once the congress center is built in Zagreb, at last in terms of accommodation. We will be able to test our competences next year given the fact that Croatia presides the European Union and expects great number of events during first six months.\n\nIn terms of business, what do you remember the past 10 years by? \nWe will remember the past ten years by gradual recovery of tourist movements after its deterioration which culminated in 2008., by increasing share of reservations made through online tourist agencies which as a channel was in its creation ten years ago and by growing interest and demand for organization of banquet and convention events. \nWhat has your business journey looked like since then? \nAll this time I had nothing but support from the colleagues in sales department that bear great responsibility for the work we do. Hotel Dubrovnik experienced complete transformation with mentioned renovations in the past ten years and profiled itself again as an indispensable business hotel in Zagreb. As far as I am concerned, during this period I have experienced all segments of sales department \u2013 from individual and leisure group reservation coordinator, through Key account manager to the position I am on now. \nWhat are you particularly proud of from the last decade? \nForemost of outstanding results that we achieve but also of the working atmosphere that enables it \u2013 most of our employees have been with us for a long time now and for some of them this has been and still is the only job they had.
