January 12, 2022 – Obonjan Island was just another of Croatia’s many uninhabited islands dotted along the coast. A few years ago it underwent a transformation and now it is a place many visit. It seems that another transformation is in sight for Obonjan Island.

As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, Zeljko Perekovic became the owner of the tourist company “Obonjan Riviera” last year, and he appointed a new three-member supervisory board at the extraordinary meeting of the company.

Beside him, Kristijan Perekovic and Irena Dolencic are now part of this body, unlike Drazen Grubisic-Caba, Briton Daniel Anthony Blackledge and Slovenian Tadej Volf. The latter trio represented the interests of a British company for the organization of the “Sound Concert” as the former majority owner of “Obonjan Riviera”, and of its co-owners, the Croatian “Gratiousus” and the Slovenian travel agency “CMT”.

Zeljko Perekovic, a leading entrepreneur whose main activity for three decades has been self-service coffee machines for the Croatian company “Spaz” which has 100 employees, as well as more and more companies that deal with properties , withdrew the Sibenik company from a multi-million blockade, interrupted legal proceedings before the Zadar Commercial Court and took over the property, writes Slobodna Dalmacija.

According to the information available, he would have paid at least 12 million kuna into the account held by “Obonjan Riviera”, a company for which he was previously appointed as interim bankruptcy trustee, and he also assumed other obligations. of society during the coronavirus crisis. Perekovic will further develop and improve the specific tourism project for which Obonjan Island has become well known as part of his own corporate vision and in partnership with his sons Domagoj and Mislav.

This father and his two sons have been developing the concept of camping tourism for twenty years now, and the latest of these projects, after leaving a similar one in Novalja on Pag, is “Olivia Green Camping”, in a large olive grove near Tisno, with luxury, wooden family houses and swimming pools for 700 guests and overall service at the level of a five star hotel.

To this extent, the takeover by Perekovic of the “Riviera of Obonjan” on the island of Obonjan is logical since a type of camp with 196 luxury tents, 40 mobile homes and a hotel with 33 beds has been there. established, with the decision to expand its capacities and reach a maximum of 200 to 250 employees within a few years, with large-scale investments also planned.

According to Mislav Perekovic, during the main summer tourist season, the island of Obonjan would become a family holiday destination with a separate ecological program, while outside the summer months the offer would be oriented towards other types. of contents and events of the so-called tourism sector event. His son Mislav completed his studies in tourism management then majored in sustainable tourism, while the department of Domagoj is investing.

“Obonjan Island is very attractive,” said Domagoj Perekovic, announcing the resort opening on May 1, 2022.

The island of Obonjan gets under the skin, and after last summer when we mainly cleaned the area because the island has not really been worked due to the coronavirus pandemic and it does was open only for 45 days, we noticed that the sales teams are becoming more connected, ” added Domagoj.

The Perekovics have renewed their contracts with some former employees on Obonjan Island, and they sincerely hope that the tender they will announce in January for the employment of 140 workers with seasonal workers will attract the local population. , writes Slobodna Dalmacija.
