120 Years of Tourism

According to numerous records and documents left to us, it seems that the island of Rab was attracting travel writers and scientists as far back as 1774, and has to thank these numerous explorers of the island for its success. It was they who discovered it and spread the word about its potential as a prime tourist destination, not just for its exceptional natural beauty but also for the hospitality of the islanders.

On 23rd April 1889, Rab was paid a visit by Professor Schroetter, a doctor and expert on spas from Vienna and Professor Frischhauf iz Graza, old friends of Rab, familiar with the island. Their visit had special significance as they were there to report to the town on the increasing interest in the island on the part of foreigners and the potential for the further development of the tourist industry. The council chairman was presented with a written proposal concerning what things might be done on the island and how, in order to better capitalise on and strengthen the development of tourism.

On the basis of this proposal, on the 16th May 1889, the municipal council met in session and came to the agreement that they would follow up on the proposals and that Rab would become an island of rest and recuperation. That is why this date is taken as the official beginning of tourism on our island.
