The Croatian Chamber of Commerce is organizing a series of trainings for the application of the new one Law on the provision of services in tourism which came into force on January 1, 2018, and the first trainings were held in Zagreb and Pula.”Representatives of all 14 associations and communities in the Tourism Sector, from the Adventure Tourism Community to the Diving Tourism Community, have participated in working groups for this Act in recent years and we must thank the Ministry of Tourism for cooperation and acceptance of economic proposals. Of course, we cannot be satisfied with everything, something is necessarily included in the obligation to implement EU Directives and other regulations, but we believe that the maximum use of space to improve and enable tourism service providers to work better. We are also happy that in the future, for the first time, tourist inspectors will only issue warnings to entrepreneurs for irregularities and give them a deadline for elimination, and not immediately punish them, which professional associations have been asking for for many years.”, Said the director of the Tourism Sector of the Croatian Chamber of Commerce Antonia Urlić, opening the training for the implementation of the new Law on the provision of services in tourism, which entered into force on January 1, 2018.Operativnu primjenu novog Zakona prezentirao je predavač na visokim školama Aspira i Vern Željko Trezner, istaknuvši da su temeljna obilježja nove regulative deregulacija pojedinih usluga, nove odredbe za pružanje određenih usluga kojih do sada nije bilo te transpozicija direktive EU 2015/2302. Kritična područja primjene EU direktive bit će praktične implikacije primjene definicije paket-aranžmana i povezanih putnih aranžmana, definiranje izuzeća od primjene direktive te pitanja zaštite od nesolventnosti.// Related news: A NEW LAW ON THE PROVISION OF TOURISM SERVICES HAS BEEN ADOPTED”From experience I can say that I have never experienced such an easy and peaceful start of the application of the Law, and this gives me the right to claim that the changes that came into force really deregulated some unnecessary regulations from previous regulations and made it easier for travel agencies. Of course, not everything from the new law is good, but progress is certainly visible”, Said Trezner, adding that it is especially important that the regulations on the identification code and minimum technical conditions for the operation of agencies that only created administrative problems were abolished on January 1. The institute of the book of complaints and the Register of Tourist Representation and the Register of Tourist Agencies were abolished.Under the new Act, more entities can provide services in tourism, but in special parts of the business and meeting all the necessary conditions as well as agencies. “In my opinion, there will be no significant changes in the market“, prokomentirao je Trezner. Jasenka Štiglec, načelnica Samostalnog sektora Turističke inspekcije Ministarstva turizma, pojasnila je prekršajne odredbe Zakona. „The new law introduced the application of the principle of opportunity, ie mitigation of inspectors’ treatment of service providers who violate the rules. It is possible for them to eliminate the deficiencies identified in the supervision without punishment, and it is precisely prescribed even when the principle of opportunity does not apply“, naglasila je Štiglec, dodajući kako se kazna neće naplatiti ako je, primjerice, nadzirana osoba do donošenja rješenja otklonila utvrđene nedostatke.They follow education in Split on March 15, Dubrovnik on March 16 and in Osijek on March 27, 2018.
Sanders stressed that he opposes “the authoritarian nature of the Cuban regime” but said it was unfair to call everything it has done over decades as wrong.He even made the point to condemn the Americas’ only Communist regime for repressing dissidents. Regardless, some of his rivals seized the chance to criticize Sanders as potentially unable to keep his socialism democratic.Former vice president Joe Biden’s campaign said Sanders had a long habit of espousing the ideas of autocratic leaders. “Bernie’s comments indicate he either fails to understand the pain and suffering that Fidel Castro, Nicolas Maduro, and Daniel Ortega have caused to so many people, including Americans now living here, or worse, that his ideology blinds him to the realities of life in these countries,” Biden adviser Cristobal Alex said.Billionaire former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg said Castro’s long legacy of repression was so dark and vast that talking about literacy was ludicrous.”Fidel Castro left a dark legacy of forced labor camps, religious repression, widespread poverty, firing squads, and the murder of thousands of his own people. But sure, Bernie, let’s talk about his literacy program,” Bloomberg tweeted.Topics : Bernie Sanders, the US Democratic presidential frontrunner, came under fire Monday for defending part of the late Cuban leader Fidel Castro’s record.In an interview that aired Sunday on CBS’s “60 Minutes,” the Vermont senator who calls himself a democratic socialist noted that after the 1959 Cuban revolution, its leader Castro led a widely successful literacy program.Sanders asked, “is it bad, even if it was Fidel Castro who did it?” 
Sweden’s first national pension fund, AP1, has put out a tender to find investment managers to run three high-yield bond strategies in an exercise aimed at broadening its universe of the asset class geographically.AP1, which managed SEK298bn (€30.4bn) in assets at the end of June, asked managers for expressions of interest to take on mandates for global high yield, US high yield and European high yield.It said its allocation to high-yield bonds was approximately 4% of its total assets under management as of 30 June, with this exposure mainly in US high yield.“The objective of this search is to broaden the universe to global high yield,” AP1 said in the tender notice. Strategies that were similar to the three requested might be considered, the fund said.In the notice, AP1 said it had a sustainability policy that applied to the whole fund, including externally managed mandates.“In the evaluation process, special attention will be paid to how the manager considers and integrates ESG factors in the investment process,” it said.Managers – apart from being able to document experience in management of institutional accounts for the specified mandate, and show a live GIPS-compliant (global investment performance standards) track record for the product of at least 12 months – must also reserve capacity in the submitted strategy of at least $300m (€287m), AP1 said.AP1 said it would publish questions from the managers and answers regarding the procurement on its website on 18 January.The last day to submit RFPs is 31 January 2017.

Press Association “He [Short] might have thought, ‘Now I’ll sack him straight away’ because he was under pressure. Instead he backed me 100 per cent, 1,000 per cent. He supported me in an incredible way. “It was a strange moment, a strange situation in time those three days. I thought maybe he would call me at that time and say… “But instead he rang me and backed me all the way. He said, ‘Proceed because you have complete support from the Board’. “From there, I felt even more energy, I was even more focused and even more determined to get the best out of the team, and I believed that no matter what the split with fans, I would look to make them happy as quickly as I could.” That is something Di Canio certainly has done with victories over Newcastle and Everton which have significantly boosted the club’s chances of avoiding relegation from the Barclays Premier League. Indeed, if they were to win at Aston Villa, Sunderland would be eight points clear of 18th-placed Wigan with three matches remaining, although the Latics have a game in hand. Defeat would see Villa join the Black Cats and Newcastle on 37 points, five clear of Wigan, but Di Canio’s men would then return to the Stadium of Light for successive home fixtures against Stoke and Southampton and the chance to secure their top-flight status. Paolo Di Canio has admitted he feared he could be sacked within days of being appointed Sunderland manager.
The 44-year-old Italian’s arrival on Wearside prompted a storm amid criticism of his previously-stated political views and the club found itself thrust into the national media spotlight for the wrong reasons. However, Black Cats owner and chairman Ellis Short remained firmly behind his new boss, and has reaped the rewards since. “For three days after I signed the contract, what happened? I don’t have to go through it all again, but look what happened,” Di Canio told the Sunderland Echo.

As the guest speaker at an open session of the Sports Reform Committee at the boardroom of the Nigeria Olympic Committee, he said “we cannot use 20th century practices to solve 21st century problems.“The 21st century is a ‘no jobs’ century with information communication technology (ICT) wiping off most jobs as one computer can do the job of 30 persons working manually. Banks are retrenching because with ATM cards less desk cashiers are needed for example.“Therefore, sports which is one of the three competencies needed to survive must therefore be run by intelligent, knowledgeable business minds who know where the money is and can position and package their sports to attract capital.”Continuing, the renowned business consultant said: “to attract indigenous private and foreign investment, sports in Nigeria has to be democratised and taken out of the hands of the bureaucracy and glamourised.”The parley also featured a session with Lagos based sports editors from television, radio and newspaper houses who rubbed minds with the committee on the problems stalling sports development in Nigeria.However, the Abuja retreat, according to a statement from the committee “will have an open house on Thursday, April 28, featuring a presentation from a public sector individual and a parley with Abuja-based sports editors.”The Committee has seven terms of reference which are:i) Design a new architecture that will restructure Nigerian sports from a service oriented model to a development oriented one that will enhance effective and enduring sports development in Nigeria.ii) Identify the major obstacles to sports development in Nigeriaiii) Develop a sustainable framework for sports development which will build a strong base for the systematic discovery, identification, training and deployment of athletes into sporting activities.iv) Develop a holistic framework, including institutional, legal and other arrangements to professionalise sports and provide alternative career options for our teeming youth with clearly established career path for athletes in all sporting fields.v) Recommend ways of reconstituting the sports federations/associations in a way that all stake holders have a say and attract passionate, knowledgeable and resourceful leadership.vi) Identify, suggest and recommend alternative sources of revenue for the funding of sports development in Nigeria.vii) Come up with other considerations which in the opinion of the committee will lead to the repositioning of Nigerian sports for effective and enduring development.The committee which has until July 14 to submit its report has Godwin Kienka as chairman.Members are; Babatunde Fatayi-Williams, Prof. Florence Adeyanju, Chief Segun Odegbami, Col.

The Wells Carlton Hotel and Luxury Apartments, a five-star luxury hospitality icon in Abuja has signed in as a friend of the IAAF silver label Okpekpe International 10km Road Race in the hotel and hospitality category.Zack Amodu, Director of Organisation for the first label road race in West Africa told the media yesterday that the hotel and luxury apartments which is majestically situated in the plush Asokoro District of Abuja decided to join the historic race because of its pace-setting role in getting international recognition for a road race to showcase the rustic and beautiful landscape of Okpekpe, a town in Etsako East local government area of Edo State.“The owner of the hotel, Captain Idahosa Wells Okunbo is an illustrious son of Edo State. He is a Nigerian business magnate, investor, philanthropist and trained commercial pilot who spared no expense in creating the world-class Wells Carlton Hotel and Luxury Apartments for those who demand only the very best. “We are delighted to have this respected and highly successful Nigerian join us as we continue to put the country’s name on the map of the world as a very safe place to come to and a destination for sports,” said Amodu who revealed that Captain Okunbo has registered as a celebrity runner for this year’s race.“So friends and admirers of this great son of Edo State can track his race via the special application developed for this purpose or watch him live on SuperSport and AIT on race day,” he stressed.Amodu also disclosed that this year’s race which holds on Saturday May 25, 2019 will be organised with a gold label template.He further revealed that Pamodzi Sports Marketing , organisers of the race want to use the seventh edition to benchmark subsequent editions as they move to get the first and only IAAF silver label race in West Africa upgraded to a gold label event and become in the process the first in the sub-region and second in the continent of Africa after the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon in South Africa.“We are organising an IAAF Gold Label race this year albeit the Okpekpe International 10km Road Race status is still silver. This is because the IAAF have changed the method of application for a label race. The international governing body for the sport wants application for the desired label at least two months before the race. What this means is that requirements for the label you are applying for must be the template for the preceding race,” the race director concluded.Share this:FacebookRedditTwitterPrintPinterestEmailWhatsAppSkypeLinkedInTumblrPocketTelegram
