Europa-Park’s Croatia Theme Area: A Cultural Initiative

Additionally, she has shared her knowledge and personal impressions in a coffee table book. Titled “Kroatien: Rezepte und Geschichten von der adriatischen Küste,” the book offers insights into Croatia’s culinary specialties and cultural highlights, further establishing Mack as a bridge between her homeland and Germany.

A Long-standing Family Commitment to European Cultural Exchange

The Mack family, founders of Europa-Park Resort, has been committed to promoting European values and fostering cultural connections since its founding in 1975.

Her husband, Michael Mack, has served as the Honorary Consul for France since 2018 and is actively involved in supporting cultural exchange. As managing partner of Europa-Park and CEO of MACK One, he works intensively to expand international relations. Miriam Mack’s appointment as Honorary Consul of Croatia extends this family tradition and reinforces the Mack family’s dedication to European ideals and values.
