DN accommodation

Digital Friendly Only

One of the challenges of establishing Croatia as a prime digital nomad destination will be education of the local tourism providers on this new wave of tourism.

For some, serving digital nomads with a bed and free WiFi is enough, but the needs of digital nomads are obviously far greater than that. DNA will work with local accommodation and tourism providers to educate and communicate the needs of incoming digital nomads. 

Over time, DNA will build up a database of certified digital nomad-friendly businesses who provide services to nomads. This includes accommodation providers with a 12-month vision of tourism, not those who will terminate long-term contracts as the tourist season approaches. 

We are developing a platform to connect you with landlords that know exactly what Digital Nomads need, the platform is www.dnastay.com
