Croatia Travel Blog

Croatia’s National Tourist Board director made it official. Quality, not quantity is the future of tourism in Croatia, explained Nico Bulic at the World Travel Market this week. “Tourists can come here and see how people live traditionally, how they produce food, fish, harvest olives and grapes. We want to put that in to the tourism offering.” Mr. Bulic noted that with 11 million tourists a year pouring into Croatia, the country is near a saturation point. ““We don’t want mass tourism. We want quality over quantity.””

Other interesting statistics are the following:

•  Germans make up the bulk of Croatia’s tourists to the tune of 1.55 million per year
• the UK is miniscule in comparison, sending only 270,000 visitors to Croatia
• Russia is up to a surprising 150,000
• 85% of Croatia’s tourists come by car
