We have significant arrivals of groups of guests who are being welcomed with renovated, furnished, and brand new hotels, and even more quality family accommodations, camping, renovated marinas. Preparing our tourist areas in the preseason, accompanied by an exceptional growth in airline traffic to Split, with 55 airlines already confirmed which will connect Split to 90 destinations this year will surely result in increased tourist traffic,” says Joško Stella, director of the Tourist Board of Split-Dalmatia County.
