A Croatian tourist box of surprises has arrived in the Krka National Park
As part of the "Culture, Tourism, and Vocational Education" project, as a selection by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, students from the Ivan Meštrović High School in Drniš and the School of Economics and Administration in Split visited the Krka Eco Campus in Puljane

On that occasion, the director Nella Slavica was presented with a specially designed box that symbolises a combination of tourism, culture, and vocational education. As part of the visit, the students also visited the Roški slap waterfall and the island of Visovac, to which they took the electric boat of the Krka National Park.

The author of the project was Martina Jerković, together with her co-author Klaudija Dimić, and the project included activities that encompass various fields of tourism and vocational education. The goal of the project is to strengthen the competency of students for work in the tourism sector of a modern business environment, which increasingly uses advanced technologies, digital tools, and artificial intelligence.

The students had the opportunity to apply acquired knowledge and skills through carrying out practical works and also cooperation with local stakeholders, including the Kistanje Elementary School, the City of Drniš, the Tourist Boards of Split and Skradin, the Krka National Park, and LAG More249.

The students of the Ruđer Bošković Technical and Industrial School in Sinj, majoring in carpentry, also contributed to the project by making special wooden boxes called "the Croatian tourist box of surprises". They gave their boxes to the Krka National Park, thereby enriching the offer of souvenirs and experiences for visitors.

A total of fifty informative cards, made by students at both schools involved in the project, are part of each box. These cards provide information about the area from Burnum to Diocletian's Palace, further enriching the visitor experience.

The Croatian “tourist box of surprises” will be available at planned locations in the Krka National Park, at the Skradin Tourist Board, the Split Tourist Board, the Ivan Meštrović High School in Drniš and the School of Economics and Administration in Split. This project represents not only the cooperation of schools and local partners, but also an innovative approach to the promotion of tourism through the education of younger generations.
