The whole island of Pag, i.e. five tourist boards, two cities, two municipalities, in two counties, was united in the Pag Outdoor project last year. This amazing island presents itself as a polygon of active tourism in unusual lunar landscapes. The offer includes cycling, Nordic walking, trail, sea kayaking, SUP, windsurfing, running, walking, quad riding, hiking…

Pag Outdoor was also recognized by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, for which incentive funds were provided. The outdoor project connects four standard activities (bike, trail, climbing, kayaking) in an absolutely unique environment of Pag nature.

This development should extend the season to at least eight months. At the same time, it should enrich the tourist offer with this attractive offer. The people of Pag are aware that nothing is going on overnight, so they planned for this project to come to life completely and give maximum results in three years. With this, Pag will add another strong reason for coming to his series of trump cards.
