NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, November 26, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- OTPYM Productions will be honored by the Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International (HSMAI) at the annual Adrian Awards Celebration at the New York Marriott Marquis, February 18, 2025.

The Adrian Awards, now in their 68th year, are the largest and most prestigious competition in global travel marketing. For 2024, Adrian Awards are being presented in advertising, digital, PR/communications, and integrated campaign categories. These include awards for digital creators, reputation management, affiliate marketing and broadcast integration.

OTPYM Productions will receive both Gold and Best Of Category Adrian Awards for its winning entry in the digital category which includes video, creators, multimedia and short form.

DIRECTOR STATEMENT:
The series is founded on empowering local hosts to share their own stories. This award winning episode immerses viewers in Istra, Croatia where dinosaurs once roamed freely, later inhabited by the Romans, Slavs and Venetians and today is regarded as a global Foodie Capital famous for truffles, wines + olive oils.

Director, Executive Producer and On-Air Curator of Local Hosts, Michaela Guzy, says: ”What an honor to return to HSMAI after almost a decade and recognized for our work documenting the PEOPLE, PLACES + PURPOSES we connected with during our travels through Istra, Croatia. The OTPYM crew and I couldn’t have created this movie magic without the help of the Croatian National Tourist Board and Visit Istria - hvala (thank you) for the introductions to our cast of REAL characters and planning the most epic insider itinerary through Istra, Croatia. After all, our global audiences won’t be meeting us personally during their trips, but they will meet the people that we’ve carefully curated to bring the destination to life. I’m confident that we’ve selected the most inspiring local people that are excited to welcome travelers authentically to experience their homeland.”

Guzy adds, “Whether you are a truffle hunting foodie, an asteroid chaser, a history buff, a biodynamic wine connoisseur, a dinofile, a hiker, biker or want to set sail in the crystal blue waters of the Adriatic Sea - what will forever transform you is no doubt the people you meet in Croatia’s Tuscany.”
