Postoji izreka koja kaže kako je putovanje bitnije od odredišta. Ipak, kad je riječ o Amerikancima dubljeg džepa, onda i to odredište postaje itekako bitna stavka. Dobro je to iskoristila jedna od najuspješnijih putnih savjetnica za Hrvatsku i vlasnica ugledne američke turističke agencije “Tasteful Croatian Journeys”, Wanda Radetti. Ona je svoje bogato znanje o povijesti i kulturi Lijepe naše te svoju strast prema putovanjima pretvorila u odličan business.

“We are beginning to find booking the luxury hotels we recommend in the city to be a challenge,” says Wanda S. Radetti, the founder and president of VisitCroatia.com-Tasteful Croatian Journeys, cited by Conde Nast Traveler as the World Top Travel Specialist for Croatia for more than a decade. “We start checking availability for desired room types and booking for July and August at least seven to eight months in advance.” Among her recommended places to stay are the Hotel Bellevue Dubrovnik [Adriatic Luxury Hotels], which recently underwent an extensive refurbishment. “It is located on a cliff overlooking a beautiful pebble beach away from the crowds and yet is just a 15-minute walk to Pile Gate [the entrance to the Old Town]. We love it and so do our travelers.” Another property on Radetti’s list is St. Joseph’s, a restored 16th-century property in the Old Town. “This is a small family-owned-and-run hotel. What makes St. Joseph fresh and new for me is its ability to weave old and new, and to have a combination of superlative service and the magic of being within the walls of Dubrovnik.”

Wanda Radetti, Visit Croatia: I must tell you how I started. I started in Croatia 20 years ago when I felt that it was okay to go back home, and I thought I was going to do great food and wonderful five-star experiences. Well, I was wrong. You couldn’t even drink the wine of Croatia at the time, but eventually that changed. It’s a world-class destination, and what we try to do is to bring the luxurious touch.

We try to make our travelers feel cared for and taken care of. We coddle them and try to get to know them very well.We get to a point where we know who the people are in the group. We know who they are, and where they’re coming from, what their fears are and what their egos are like.

We get to that level. We consult with everybody that travels with us; we do charge a fee for that, and from there we are able to produce and advise. We create a new [itinerary] every time somebody travels with us. We don’t have a product that exists. Everybody travels differently and has different requirements.

People say, “Well, send me your itinerary,” and I say, “I don’t know who you are. How could I send you an itinerary? Talk to me.” Luckily we’re growing by word of mouth and people who travel with us are sending us their friends or families.
