Istria, the major tourist region in Croatia, recognizes the importance of the development of the travel industry, repositioning the destination offer and detachment from the summer resort destination with traditional sun and sea offer. Purpose of the paper The aim of this paper is to explore the possibilities for valorisation of destination resources, to organise them into a tourism project and place them on the market as special products which enable customers to experience a unique “sensation plus”. Analysis and research are focused on the off-season months since these are the months during which the number of tourist movements should be increased. Special programmes affect the competitiveness and ensure comparative advantage of one destination over another.
