Croatia might have stopped playing, but you sure shouldn’t! And one of the Split Tech City community members made sure of it. 😉

Adriatic.hr is an online travel agency that has been bringing guests from all over the world to apartments, houses, hotel rooms, and lighthouses all over Croatia for over 20 years.

Their story started from a student room of the Adriatic.hr founder and grew year by year, setting trends in the development of online tourism through their products, websites, and accompanying services such as the reservation system, HRIS, accounting system, etc.

They are among the initiators of Split’s tech scene, not only through the free PHP academies they once organized but also through the development of people within their own ranks – many former employees are today themselves founders of some of the best local tech companies.

As such, we weren’t surprised by their recent marketing campaign that, in a way, made them viral – Kick4Adriatic!

We all know that Euro 2024 is in full swing, emotions are running high and everyone has forgotten about perhaps the biggest preoccupation during summertime – the peak of this year’s tourist season. Tourists are already here in Croatia enjoying the wonders of the Adriatic Sea, many of whom booked their accommodation via Adriatic.hr.

Said championship, is – like any big event – accompanied by various fan products and giveaways. So, the innovative and creative Adriatic.hr team decided to join in the fun and come up with Kick4Adriatic – a competition of their own making.

A competition that ended up delighting fans (and future guests of our beautiful coast) all over Europe!

The Kick4Adriatic rules are simple: on every post shared by the official Adriatic.hr Facebook page, followers are invited to comment on the outcome of the Euro 2024 game. Whoever guesses the result will receive a voucher for their next private accommodation reservation through the Adriatic.hr website.

As the championship goes on, the voucher amount will increase.

The prize money of 50 euros for the hit result in the preliminary round will increase to 500 euros for the hit result of the final match, so an even bigger rush of followers is expected as Euro 2024 progresses.

Since the beginning of the Kick4Adriatic competition, the interest has been incredible. Thousands of comments flood the social media posts made by the Adriatic.hr team, and the number of participants grows day by day.

The popularity of the competition is not surprising, because – apart from offering a chance to win a more affordable holiday at a time when prices have risen – the game this creative team from Split came up with allows fans across Europe to connect and share their passions for football and travel.

The primary goal of Kick4Adriatic is to promote Croatia’s tourist offer, presenting a diverse range of accommodation options and the beauty of the Croatian coast, thus encouraging future visitors to explore everything Croatia has to offer.

The recent success of the Adriatic.hr team, in which they managed to gather more than 14,000 accommodation units solely through their own efforts, is further proof of the team’s expertise and the varied offers they provide to their guests and renters alike.

So, if you’re reading this from a place that is not within walking distance of the Adriatic Sea beaches, read the rules and then join the Kick4Adriatic game!

We’ll see you in the sea! 😀
