The Konavle Agrotourism Association was officially founded by a group of enthusiasts in 2010 with a clear concept and a new strategy for the economic development of Konavle. Today we are the bearers of most of the activities of rural tourism development in Konavle and we gather more than 60 members, bearers of agrotourism offer and potential entrepreneurs. From the very beginning, the Association has been functioning professionally and continuously implementing programs aimed at developing and promoting the rural development of Konavle.
