This year, for the sixth time, National Geographic Traveller (UK) organized the “Reader Awards”, as part of which readers ranked Croatia among the top three countries in the “best close destination” category, reports HTZ.
Italy was declared the best destination in this category, while Greece was also a finalist in this category.
“At a time when travel is still uncertain, Brits are constantly looking for inspiration for future travel. In doing so, they rely on reliable media such as National Geographic, which has been dominating the UK media space in the travel magazine segment for more than a decade with its content and quality. We are extremely pleased and glad that the readers of such a large media paid tribute to the uniqueness of Croatia and thus highlighted our country as one of the destinations that the British are always happy to visit, ” said Darija Reic, director of the CNTB Representation in the UK.
The awards were also given in other categories, such as the “best city” category, with Barcelona and the finalists Amsterdam and New York City, while the “best distant destinations” category was won by Japan, followed by New Zealand and the United States. This is a list of the best destinations, tour operators, airlines, and experiences, which was created according to a shortlist of readers of this prestigious magazine.
“This is another in a series of awards to all my colleagues and the entire Croatian tourism for a job well done in a year marked by the global coronavirus pandemic, especially if we know that National Geographic awards are given by readers, i.e., British travel enthusiasts,” said the Croatian Tourist Board director Kristjan Staničić.
The National Geographic Traveller (UK) magazine is printed in almost 60,000 copies in Britain alone, while their websites generate more than 10 million unique visitors a year.
