At least Croatia has regular FIS races every winter (and Greece does too, I believe) But Cancun. Lol.

They only see a free beach vacation with plenty of drinks and anything Phuket has to offer. Well they’re being hosted by the Thailand Skating Federation, so it’s a nice bonus for the federation. I bet they make some money off of it (which is great for a developing winter sport nation). “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

No, FIS officials don't care about the Mexican federation and ISU officials don't care about the Thai federation other than both of them being able to give them a nice beach resort with some good drinks.

I stayed once for free. Not to mention how speaking Croatian can give you some handy discounts. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just joking, but you have to admit when you think about luxury and expensive places in Croatia, you think about Dubrovnik (and Hvar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just joking, but you have to admit when you think about luxury and expensive places in Croatia, you think about Dubrovnik (and Hvar) Yeah, they are definitely not cheap as far as hospitality industry is concerned. Dubrovnik's old town probably has some record prices in restaurants, but going there as a volunteer I luckily never had to experience that. However, as places to live, Dubrovnik (and Hvar) are in most ways like any other city. They are not exclusive for millioners like Monte Carlo or something.
