November 1, 2019 – Plitvice Lakes National Park successfully cruises through the offseason.
Judging by all the indicators so far, Plitvice Lakes National Park is nearing another record year, which is contrary to the pessimistic announcements made before that the number of visitors would be halved if online ticket sales were introduced.
However, Novi List reports that the recently held Promo Week confirmed otherwise
To mark 70 years since it was proclaimed the first national park in Croatia, and 40 years since it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list,Plitvice Lakes gave back to its visitors with a ‘Promo Week’ that ran from October 21-27 with discounted ticket prices.
Namely, during Promo Week, tickets purchased online were only 50 kuna for adults, while students paid 30 kuna and kids aged 7-18 paid 20. Children under seven and people with disabilities entered for free.
Plitvice Lakes National Park spokesman Ognjen Borcic highlighted the many benefits and above all the excellent organization stemming from online ticket sales.
“Finally, an order was introduced in this regard, without long waits, nervousness, and all the negative things that used to happen at our park entrances. We have talked about it many times. Promo Week confirmed this to us. The opportunity to visit the national park for an unprecedented price proved to be excellent, and the last weekend of Promo Week was a sign of great attendance.
Thus, on weekends alone, we recorded almost 16,000 visitors. This was also helped by the great weather, the quiet and warm autumn. We have an extended weekend ahead for All Saints Day.
According to the current announcements, this will be another reason to be proud of the business success of Plitvice Lakes National Park because the bookings are excellent, and the reports of arrivals literally come from all sides,” emphasizes spokesman Ognjen Borcic.
Plitvice Lakes National Park’s diverse offer was further enhanced this year by a weekly culinary event, a multitude of other events, presentations and scientific meetings, all in celebration of the unique park and its tradition.
The image of Croatia’s most famous national park is currently enveloped by the calming of colors of autumn, with increasingly pronounced yellow hues. It is all part of the annual changes that make Plitvice Lakes so unique.
