Visitor health and safety is our top priority

During the tourism season, the Public Institute of Krka National Park co-finances the emergency services in the area of Skradin and Krka National Park.

At the start of this year’s tourism season, the Public Institute of Krka National Park has signed a Co-financing agreement to assist emergency medical services in the 2022 tourism season with the Emergency Medicine Institute of Šibenik-Knin County, in the amount of HRK 100,000. This will enable unhindered operations, medical supplies and fuel for emergency service teams in the area of Skradin and Krka National Park in the period from 15 June to 15 September, when the number of visitors to this area increases substantially and the need for emergency services increases.

“High quality and timely health care is exceptionally important, both for the citizens of our county and for our visitors, both local and foreign. Therefore, we are pleased to be able to assist the Emergency Medicine Institute of Šibenik-Knin County in performing their duties. We believe that the expert emergency teams will successfully do their work, and we hope that there will be little need for their services,” said director of the Public Institute of Krka National Park, Nella Slavica.

Through the Skradin entrance, more than 400,000 visitors enter the park during the summer months. In order to improve the safety of citizens, tourists and visitors during the season, emergency medical services are essential in these periods when visitor flows are increased.

Cooperation with local units is one of the priorities of Krka National Park. This includes caring for the health and safety of local and foreign visitors, allowing them to enjoy the natural, cultural and historical values of the park unhindered, and to ensure that their stay in our county will remain a pleasant memory.
