History of the company

Turizem KRAS, d.d. continues a rich tradition of managing visits and events that dates back to the 1820s, when the cave was first opened as a show cave. The cave was already receiving large numbers of visitors in the Austro-Hungarian period (under the management of a special cave commission). During the period of Italian rule it was administered by a state institute, while after the second world war it was taken over by a Yugoslav state institute and then by an enterprise. In the 1990s this enterprise was transformed into a joint-stock company which is today owned by the Istrabenz Group holding company.

Development plans

The recognised orientation of the company is the management of natural and cultural sights. It also passes on its know-how and skills to other entities in the region and beyond. The result of this is the development of integrated management of the tourist destination.

The company is improving its range of catering, accommodation and retail services – raising the quality of services attracts more demanding guests.

The company is currently implementing the following programmes:

- cultural and entertainment events,
- adventure visits to caves,
- medieval events,

and developing new ones:

- management of new natural and cultural sights,
- development of related programmes.

Within the Istrabenz Group the company is developing and providing new programmes which complement the services offered by hotels in Portorož, Opatija and Postojna under the common brand LifeClass.
