Liburnia Tourist Guides Association was founded in 2002 in Opatija with the aim of promoting the tourist guides` profession in the Liburnia region as well as promoting the region itself by a better presentation of the area to our guests. The programmes of education, seminars and further training, held during the winter months, are closely connected with the history and culture of Opatija, Liburnia and the wider area where our members provide guiding services. The association has forty members – tourist guides who cover all major world languages, and most of the members are also licenced for the area of the following counties: Primorje-Gorski kotar, Lika-Senj and Istria.
