During 2005 and 2006, shares were acquired in today's members of the Group: Hoteli Zlatni Rat d.d., Hoteli Brela d.d. and Hoteli Tučepi d.d. In 2006, the Company and the members of the Group entered into an Entrepreneurial Agreement - a business management agreement, based on which the governing body of the Group was defined, aimed at strengthening the efficiency and profitability of the members with the aim of creating a strong and recognizable hotel and tourism brand in the Republic of Croatia, through a joint appearance on the market providing hotel, tourist and hospitality services.

In 2007, the company was transformed into a joint-stock company called SUNCE KONCERN d.d.

The period from 2005 to 2007 within the Group was marked by strong investments in the amount of 50,000,000 euros, on the basis of which the following hotel facilities were completely renovated and upgraded in the period in question: Elaphusa in Bol, Soline and Berulia in Brela, while the hotel facilities Alga and Afrodita in Tučepi were renovated to a greater extent.
