Did you know that the Minister of Tourism Tonči Glavina, who himself introduced the law defining ‘hosts’ in tourism, does not meet the criteria to be a host under that very law? The law clearly states that a host must reside in the same county as the rental property, yet Glavina lives in Split and Zagreb, while his luxury villa in Klis is still listed as a ‘host’ on Booking.com! The law has been in effect for over six months, but clear visual markers for genuine hosts are still missing, and platforms like Booking.com and Airbnb don’t recognize this classification. Istraturizma is scrambling to fix this on the fly, but the chaos is real! Glavina has paid over €40,000 in taxes, but that doesn’t change the fact he’s sidestepping the law he created. Is this how laws are made for themselves, not for the people? Sound off in the comments and tell us what you think about this ridiculous mess!
