This year's 7th annual Labour Day Incubator (Prvomajski Inkubator) is a music/artistic/educational festival organized by Creative Krk Association/ Udruga Kreativni Krk (NGO). „Incubator” celebrates 1st May- Labour Day, but also serves as a platform for a critical review of the state of the economy and the labour market. This year the theme of the "Incubator" is one of the most important economic branches in the region - tourism. Mass tourism takes many forms, both in coastal areas as well as in ski resorts and world capitals (large number of tourist buses in the centre of Paris, the growing number of selfie sticks in Times Square, etc.).

Mass tourism in the age of consumerism is just another instant product - the history and culture of a tourist destination become expendable goods which the visitor will consume for a week, capture in a few amateur photographs and then forget until the next holiday and a new destination.

We are inviting visual artists to document, criticize or give a humorous comment on the phenomenon of mass tourism and / or its consequences. It is desirable to explore the social, cultural and economic aspects of mass tourism: mass construction, traffic and transport, the local people during the tourist season, tourists, (im)material cultural or natural heritage, tourist offer, etc. They can express themselves in any art medium. We encourage participants to fully explore the subject and to approach it contemporarily.

Selected works will be exhibited at the renowned Decumanus Gallery in the town of Krk (Croatia), and on Creative Krk Association's website.
