The imminent visit of King Harald V and Queen Sonya of Norway to Croatia has raised the profile of development plans to turn land near Sucuraj, on the eastern tip of Hvar Island, into a resort rivaling Cannes, according to a report in Slobodna Dalamacija on May 9, 2011.

Norwegian Interest in the Dalmatian Coast

The royal couple are due on an official visit to Zagreb and the coastal town of Sibenik on May 12-13, accompanied by 100 Norwegian businessmen, who are investigating investment opportunities in the former-Yugoslav republic.

With both countries boasting a proud maritime tradition, there has been room for cooperation, and a highlight of Queen Sonya's visit to Sibenik will be the launching of two catamarans built by Croatian companies for the Norwegian market.
