Congress tourism is an integral part of the tourist offer, which is influenced by numerous factors. One of them is the gastronomic offer. The modern age, despite modernization and progress and the rapid growth of technology, also requires a return to traditional values. Local food, local production and autochthonous dishes are the basis of the gastronomic offer that enables the development of congress tourism in the season, and especially in the off-season. In addition to the business and work part, it is important for the participants of the congress to make quality use of their free time, which includes, among other things, gastronomy. By extending the tourist season with the development of congress tourism, the development of the destination and economic development are also affected. With its strategies, the Republic of Croatia is working on the development of congress tourism, including the gastronomic offer, and is also working on the development of congress centers in destinations with the improvement of accommodation and the modernization of congress halls. Some cities have become important congress venues in tourist markets in Europe and the world because, in addition to accommodation and spaces, they have natural beauty and cultural heritage. Congress tourism is also developing in Šibenik-Knin County, and one of the congress centers is Vodice and the Olympia and Olympia Sky hotels with a rich gastronomic offer, adapted to different types of participants in business events.
