ZAGREB, August 23, 2018 – Summing up results in the tourism sector so far, Prime Minister Andrej Plenković and Tourism Minister Gari Cappelli said at the start of the government session on Thursday that this year’s very successful tourist season would be better than last year’s record season.
Investments in the tourism sector in 2017 amounted to 870 million euro and this year they have been increased to around one billion euro as part of a concept of sustainable tourism, with investments focusing on better service quality in Croatian destinations.
Statistics released so far show a 5% increase in arrivals and a 4% increase in overnight stays. Since the start of the year, 14.6 million tourists have visited Croatia, generating 80 million overnight stays, and announcements for the post-season are very good as well, it was said.
“All these indicators show that results in the tourism sector this year are very encouraging,” said Plenković.
