The parents relented as well involve your children in the vacation planning process.

Compared to pre-pandemic periods:

• 50% families said they are more likely to allow their children to decide where to go on holiday
• 1 in 3 parents will allow their children to invite a friend
• 43% parents are more likely to allow their children to skip school for the holidays

While parents plan to please their children and treat them to new trips, they also prefer quality time - 61% families said they are more likely to demand that their children be disconnected from the internet and their devices on holiday.

In this way, families can indulge in changing the landscape and enjoy precious time together.

During the pandemic, distance work and virtual schooling allowed families to travel more and combine work with vacation.
We expect families to continue to combine with each other - 44% families said they are more likely to work remotely from a place other than their home, and it has been noted increase in demand of 68% for a stay of 21 - 30 days on the Willow.

Undated searches also increased by 33% compared to the previous year, indicating that people cared less about traveling during
school holidays and vacations, are open to escape on a trip whenever they wish.

We bring you an interesting and instructive article from the cimerfraj.hr portal below. The unusual year and the tourist season brought many questions, among which those of a financial nature stand out. Many private renters have opted to deregister categorization. But there are certainly many more who have bravely stepped into the season, with optimism and faith in success. In doing so, they faced an increased number of canceled reservations and frequent changes in regulations that determine the financial obligations of renters this year.

Below we highlight the most interesting information:

• Unlike previous years, all financial obligations of lump sum landlords are calculated in a lump sum
• According to the new regulations, the tourist membership fee and tourist tax are calculated on the basis of the number of permanent and extra beds - exceptionally in 2020 they are calculated exclusively on the number of permanent beds, and the auxiliary ones are not included in the lump sum calculation.
• Tourist tax is reduced by 50%
• The tourist membership fee was reduced by 50% in 2020
• In the months in which it records turnover, the renter who uses the services of foreign intermediaries, registered in the EU, is obliged to calculate and pay VAT on commission

In collaboration with the Dantes portal, we launched a survey about the 2020 season. Throughout the summer, we received various information from renters throughout our beautiful country. Our goal is to reach out to most renters and do a survey on a relevant sample, so they can anticipate your needs. It takes less than 5 minutes to complete the survey.

We believe that this is the first in a series of surveys that will provide us with structured information from the field, which will benefit us and you equally. The results of all the surveys we will do will always be publicly available.

Another reason we are contacting you is to inform you that at the beginning of June we launched a specialized portal for renters in family tourism. www.dantes.com.hr
