As Poslovni Dnevnik/Marta Duic writes on the 23rd of October, 2020, Romeo Draghicchio, director of the Croatian National Tourist Board (CNTB) in Germany, reported that according to the results of the German car club ADAC survey, which is undertaken on a yearly basis, Germany and Croatia are the winners of 2020’s challenged tourist season.
The ADAC survey deeply analyses almost 350,000 inquiries from ADAC members who arrived in Croatia during the period from May to September, which referred to routes to holiday destinations, and Croatia ranks third in terms of the results garnered. This is followed by Germany with 33 percent of inquiries, Italy came second with about 15 percent, and Croatia has grown rather encouragingly by almost five percentage points.
”Croatian tourism has shown amazing innovation and adaptability this year. I’m pleased that we reacted very quickly and introduced many practical solutions for our guests, for example through the Enter Croatia website, tourists were allowed to enter the country faster and more safelt, and the sector was continuously adapting to epidemiological measures and recommendations,” explained Tourism and Sport Minister Nikolina Brnjac.
CNTB Director Kristjan Stanicic pointed out that the entire Croatian tourism sector is extremely important because, despite the challenging and demanding circumstances which took hold in 2020, interest in Croatian destinations on the German market is continually growing.
An additional confirmation of Croatia’s enviable position is the ranking of the ADAC survey by regions where, for the first time, in the first and second place, lie two Croatian regions – Istria and Dalmatia. The research also confirmed the interest of Germans in Croatian camps, meaning that in this particular category, with 15.4 percent of inquiries, Croatia overtook Italy and took an excellent second place.
