As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, Croatian Tourism Minister Nikolina Brnjac joined a recently shown programme of the N1 Studio live show from the City of Osijek in Eastern Croatia and revealed whether or not there is any fear regarding the figures related to the ongoing spread of coronavirus, whether or not there are expectations fot this to fluctuate during the very height of the summer and how this could affect tourism as we go forward.
“Croatia has developed the ”Safe stay” project together with the Croatian National Institute of Public Health. All protocols in that regard have been agreed upon. That project is now at the level of recommendations. The novel coronavirus is still very much among us and that’s why we must all continue to make sure we do adhere to the necessary (remaining) measures,” said Croatian Tourism Minister Nikolina Brnjac.
She also pointed out that we must be careful not to find ourselves in the dark red zone on the ECDC map once again, which would be an enormous blow to what currently seems like an extremely promising main tourist season.
“Over recent years, we’ve proven to tourists and residents of this country alike with this project that we are a responsible tourist destination. We have to take care that we are not dark red on the map. According to the last map, we aren’t and I think that together we can take care to not end up geting into that critical situation,” she said.
Speaking about the tourist results so far in 2022, she said that at the end of June, the country had already passed 20 million registered overnight stays.
“These numbers are extremely good,” she said, adding that now, the Republic of Croatia has some extremely important projects related to the extension of the tourist season in order to go towards year-round tourism to deal with and perfect.
