The University of Rijeka and KUH organize the first online course on camping village management

A campsite is a real company and managing it in the best way is certainly not easy. It is therefore commendable and important that the Facultet za Menadzement u Turizmu i Ugostiteljstvu, or the Faculty of Management in Tourism and Hospitality of the University of Rijeka, organized, in collaboration with the Union of Croatian Campsites (KUH – Kamping Udruženje Hrvatske), the Menadžment Kamping Resorta course, dedicated to camping management. It is the first specialized learning program in the field of camping management in Croatia and one of the very few educational modules in Europe.

The course, which will be held online, has a duration of 60 hours and 10 ECTS credits will be obtained. Registration must be done by January 31, 2022, and the cost is 4,590 kuna, about €610. The aim is to acquire further specialist knowledge in the management of a modern camping village. The program is aimed at all applicants who wish to expand and improve their current knowledge of camping and the management of a modern camping village as well as strengthen their entrepreneurial activities. The course is particularly recommended for all those who want to start their own camping tourism projects and who has no ambition, despite having a completed secondary education, to continue higher education, but wish to have a specialized professional title.

At the end of the course, each participant will acquire a series of general and specific skills, including the ability to apply the theoretical and practical principles of camping management and organization and knowledge of the organization systems of tourist camping at a national and international level, to communicate properly with guests, employees, superiors, and business partners, and to examine the level of guest expectations and satisfaction.

The knowledge and skills acquired by the participants in the program will contribute to the development of the overall offer of the campsite in the direction of differentiation and quality. This will lead to a significant competitive advantage for the Croatian camping sector. As an incentive to seek excellence and contribute to the development of the campsite and the training of employees, KUH will reward the best participant with a free weekend in a mobile home at a Croatian campsite.
