Labin Rabac Tourist Board

What Labin Rabac Tourist Board does

The Labin Rabac Tourist Board (legal name: Turistička zajednica Grada Labina) is a public-sector tourism promotion organization (javna ustanova) established under Croatian tourism law, headquartered at Ul. Alda Negrija 20, Labin, in the Istria region of Croatia. It operates as the official destination management organization for the Labin-Rabac area, coordinating destination promotion, event programming, accommodation and gastronomy information, and visitor services across the City of Labin and the Rabac seaside resort. The board is a member of the Eastern Istria Tourist Board Cluster, which jointly manages tourism across four municipalities: Labin, Raša, Kršan, and Sveta Nedelja.

Its core product is the multilingual destination portal rabac-labin.com, built on a CMS with Croatian, English, German, and Italian versions, supporting event calendars, accommodation directories, gastronomy guides, hiking trail information, and practical visitor resources. Notable technical features include the Rabac Labin 360 virtual tour and integration with Croatia's national eVisitor registration system and the Explore East Istria mobile application. The board also produces recurring event IP such as Wine & Music Night (5,000+ cumulative visitors), Sea Gušti festival, the International Summer Carnival, and supported the Istria300 cycling marathon (~4,000 participants in 2025).

The organization does not operate a commercial revenue model. It is funded through tourist taxes and contributions from local tourism businesses, and provides most visitor-facing services (guided tours, hiking events, workshops) free of charge. It monetizes influence through grants (e.g., 'Support for Events 2026'), educational programs for private lessors, and partnerships with regional and national tourism bodies (TZ Istra, HTZ, MINT). The staff is 5 employees, led by Director Astrid Glavičić. Customer segments are individual domestic and international tourists, private accommodation providers (iznajmljivači), and local businesses (hotels, restaurants, OPGs, agencies).
