According to the published unaudited business results in the first quarter of 2016 Valamar Riviera d.d. reported consolidated revenues in the amount of HRK 86.5 million, which is an increase of 58.1 million HRK or 204% compared to the same period last year. The significant growth of revenues is a result of a high growth of sales revenues and financial revenues. This result is not an indication of predicted growth at the annual level since sales revenues in the first quarter have a low influence on annual sales revenues.

All Valamar destinations during the first quarter have reported a growth in overnight stays and accommodation revenues.  Overnights grew by 81% in the first quarter compared to the same period last year. Sales revenues in the first quarter reached 46 million HRK which is an increase of 29 million HRK in comparison to the same period last year. The most significant growth was recorded by hotels and resorts with 4* and 5* in Dubrovnik and Poreč as a result of attractive business conferences and events as well as earlier Easter holidays.

In the first three months Valamar recorded a strong increase in bookings including realized and announced overnight stays by the end of the year. The stronger booking pace is particularly pronounced in upscale hotels and resorts where Valamar has invested strongly during the past years with the goal of innovating and raising quality, as well as enhancing the competitiveness of facilities and services.

Why We Embrace AI

At Argophilia, we believe in using every tool at our disposal to bring you the stories that matter. You may notice a certain precision in our data analysis, a specific flair in our visuals, or a rapid turnaround on complex topics. That is no accident—it is the result of our rampant use of artificial intelligence.

We use Gemini to help synthesize data, structure our reporting, and ensure our news remains as sharp as the reality we cover. When it comes to our imagery, we rely on the creative power of Midjourney and NightCafe, unless otherwise noted in our editorial credits.

We are not apologetic for this. In a fast-moving world, these tools allow us to focus on what really counts: investigating the issues, giving a voice to the marginalized, and maintaining the journalistic integrity you expect from us. We see AI not as a replacement for human judgment, but as an engine that amplifies our ability to inform, analyze, and tell the truth about our island and beyond.

We are writers and journalists first—but we are proud to be tech-enabled ones, too.
