“Our studies reveal a shifting tendency among the consumers to seek and discover authentic experiences as opposed to purchasing and owning physical items. Thus, money is becoming more and more important as the catalyst to experience the world and this is what our Priceless Cities program is founded on – access to thousands of exclusive, breathtaking, and curated experiences across the world makes it attractive to millions of Mastercard cardholders. We are thrilled to have its new edition introduced here in Croatia, as our country’s natural beauties, rich gastronomy and cultural heritage, confirmed by a constant growth in popularity among tourists, comprise a great platform for Priceless experiences”, said Gea Kariž, Mastercard Croatia Marketing Head.
