Mon Perin d.d.

The company Mon Perin d.o.o. is a tourist company established in 2005 in Bale/Valle in Croatia with a unique management model for this type of business. The original proposal, which today is a reality, was to create a company whose founders would be the inhabitants of Bale, the “friends of Bale”, the Bale municipality, and all those interested in the development of this region. The Mon Perin Company was therefore founded by more than 900 shareholders (of which 400 are the inhabitants of this region) and by the Bale/Valle municipality, and they own the preference shares in the company. “Go Local” is a new approach to development which represents the basis for Bale/Valle’s new ascent. Mon Perin's goal is to: discover, bring to life, use, and re-evaluate the local resources and the potential of its region, which spent too much time outside of the state’s economic flows. The company wish to support and initiate development, starting from the socio-economic, cultural-historical, and, above all, human values of the local community. Mon Perin encourages the involvement of the locals and local associations in the preparation and implementation of development projects which, year-by-year, restore the splendour of its small town. The objectives of Mon Perin's approach: 1. To take responsibility for their development. 2. To achieve cooperation and active participation of the whole local community. 3. To ensure coordination of local companies in doing business, in order to guarantee for the secure functioning of its economic model, regardless of market risks in the wider region. 4. To establish active cooperation with the state and regional authorities, and to abandon the policy of waiting and emulating. From the first moment, the Mon Perin's vision was a social entrepreneurship: their ownership structure provide for investment models that aim at providing support to the locals, with special focus on the young people and providing employment to the local population.
