The Day of Solidarity charity project, which was organized during the 2011 tourist season at Istraturist's hotels under the management of Meliá Hotels International, ended with a social event at which the two girls from Umag for whom the financial help is intended were present. The project raised HRK 118,445, most of which will be spent financing the education of Anamarija Manin and Melissa Koncar, while the remaining amount will be donated to UNICEF, which has been Meliá Hotels International's strategic partner since 2010. The money that the Umag Stars for Umag Children charity project raised during the ATP Croatia Open tennis tournament will be added to this sum.

The Day of Solidarity is a project that Meliá Hotels International has been organizing at its hotels around the world since 2004. The purpose of the project is to raise awareness of the importance of solidarity and respect for the natural environment, at the same time raising money for programs that support projects related to children's education and social support for children in a local environment. In Umag, this project is organized in cooperation with Istraturist, Meliá Hotels International and the city of Umag, and aims to help citizens who are most in need of aid and are on the city's priority list.

Melissa Koncar is a fifteen-year-old girl suffering from severe bone deformity in both lower legs. In addition, Melissa has been progressively and permanently losing sight since fifth grade, and is at this point almost completely blind. In view of the fact that she is about to begin high school, where she will be educated as a secretary, Melissa will be given a special computer for blind persons, which will help her in her education and also be useful in her future work.
Anamarija Manin is an eight-year-old girl suffering from cerebral palsy, and needs a personal teaching assistant to be able to regularly and adequately follow the curriculum. Donations raised during the Day of Solidarity project in 2011 will be used for financing Anamarija's personal teaching assistant, who will significantly help her with socialization and motivation and, above all, help her to follow the curriculum and school activities well.

The Day of Solidarity 2011 was organized at five of Istraturist's hotels and apartment hotels: Sol Umag, Sol Garden Istra, Sol Aurora, Sol Stella Maris and Sol Polynesia. The project began in June and lasted until mid-September. In total, 47 Days of Solidarity were held during the tourist season, with 47 entertainers, nearly 6,000 adult guests, 1,200 children and over 600 employees of Istraturist and Meliá Hotels International participating. During the Days of Solidarity, the teams of Istraturist's Activity Departments organized various activities for children and adults, which included workshops about local culture and the awareness of the need for protecting the environment.

With this project Istraturist continues its strategic orientation towards improving corporate social responsibility. Internally, the company seeks to continually invest in human capital and health and safety of its employees, while externally it actively participates in the life of the local community and its organizations, improving relations with business partners and suppliers, taking care of the environment and making donations to numerous organizations.
