During my Navy career we had many communication stations located well away from populated centers. Less industrial interference, flat terrain for signal propagation etc. Also the sites also were serious contributions to local rural economies.The Croatia LF tour opportunity started the thinking process.
So here goes. No offense intended. Just pondering in the open. If 25% of Croatia is tourist standard travel and collected wonderful places.. Likely you come home with your version of tourist territory rephotographed.. That is where the countries natural beauty and wonders are.
The tour operator is assured that accommodations will be acceptable or better, and transportation predictable. All reasonable.
That would leave about 18,000 KM of paved road in Croatia for those who want to explore the majority of the country which is not 'Tourist Ready'. What are the possibilities of great photo discoveries when the tour is designed to explore the rest of the country?
Is that maybe 90 days worth of total seek to discover at 40 kph * 5 hr a day and 3 or 4 hours of LF set up shoot tear down, back in the car.
What would work for travel? Maybe 2 photographers sharing a self driven car. In don't see a mini van or small buss and a group as being workable when Boonie trekking...
So with a fresh Fodor's in hand I don't see more than basic information off the tourist routes.
Country Tourist organizations point you to the developed areas for Tourists.
So how to improve the percentages of fun a and rewarding LF travel in the rest of Croatia or any other country with significant exploration space?
