Croatia’s tourism sector is thriving, with visitor numbers and overnight stays surpassing pre-pandemic levels. In September 2023, Croatia welcomed 2.5 million tourists, marking a 15% increase in tourist arrivals compared to the same period in 2022.
The tourism boom can be attributed in part to Croatia’s Schengen Zone membership and the transition to the euro, which has made it easier for visitors from the Eurozone to travel to the country. Croatia’s stunning scenery, rich culture, and delicious cuisine are also major draws for tourists.
Croatia’s tourism industry is not just limited to the summer months. In the first nine months of 2023, Croatia hosted 18.7 million travelers, generating 102 million overnight stays. This reflects a 9% increase in visitor numbers and a 2% rise in overnight stays compared to the same period in 2022.
The Croatian government is committed to supporting the tourism sector and making Croatia a year-round destination. The upcoming Tourism Law is designed to bolster Croatia’s competitiveness and sustainability as a year-round destination by empowering local management.
Croatia is a beautiful country with something to offer everyone. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing beach vacation, an adventurous outdoor trip, or a cultural city break, Croatia has it all.
