Hotel Amfiteatar is first and only hotel in Istria that has a halal certificate. This is one more step closer to fullfiling guests needs and to getting better every year.
Halal certification confirms that the hotel and restaurant Amfiteatar offers a service according to the halal standard. Namely, the dishes and drinks prepared here should be from foods that are halal, which means that during the preparation of food care should be taken not to mix with food that is not in accordance with regulations.
The certificate was handed over to the chef and owner of the Hotel Amfiteatar, Deniz Zembo by Aldin Dugonjić, head of the Croatian Center for Halal Quality Certification from Zagreb. It is a specialized institution of the Islamic Community and the only authorized institution in Croatia for issuing halal certificates.
Because of pandemic all those living in the European Union, and otherwise traveling to countries like Turkey, would now turn to come to Istria and look for a halal type of diet. This is just one indicator of the emitting market. The potentials and possibilities are huge.
The main goal is for the guest to receive a service they will have no doubts about, to feel comfortable and satisfied and to recommend the service to others.
As for the rooms in the hotel, they will have elements that are needed by people of the Islamic faith. For example the sajdah, a floor mat that is used by Muslims to perform prayers. If the room has a mini bar alcohol is excluded.
Considering that we are already have gastro tours and cooking classes for tourists we decided on this additional training.
Also, as a supporter of lifelong learning, this is another plus for us in knowledge, food management and food preparation.
Further more, this opens the possibility. We can have a new type of clientele that comes on purpose trips to us and we would provide them with food according to their standards. That way we guarantee that their customs will be respected, says Zembo.
