As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, on the occasion of the World Tourism Day, Croatian Tourism Minister Nikolina Brnjac met with members of the Council for Recovery and Development of Tourism, and in addition to good results this summer season, they also discussed preparations for the next tourist year, which will hopefully be even more normal than the one we’ve just enjoyed.
“We expect the continuation of investments in tourism, and we’re currently working on ‘mapping’ counties and all of the projects that are being done in them, what they’re planning and so on. The sector is already preparing for the 2022’s summer season and we have a good feeling about it,” said Tourism Minister Nikolina Brnjac.
She also stated that Croatian tourism exceeded 70 percent of the total turnover from the pre-pandemic, record year of 2019 in September, and the data, ie the highly positive trends from the fiscalisation system in September, were also very encouraging indeed.
She announced that October will be the month of Croatian tourism, which we’ve written about before, for which various tourism service providers are now applying, with the condition that they give a minimum of a 35 percent discount, which she hopes will be an additional motive for further autumn travel for both Croatian and foreign tourists.
The director of the Croatian Tourist Board (CNTB), Kristjan Stanicic, said similar things, congratulating everyone in the sector on the Day of Tourism and saying that communication in the sector was very good, which also contributed to a good summer season this year.
“All stakeholders [in tourism] are ready to better prepare for 2022, in order to maintain Croatia’s position as the safest and highest quality tourist destination in the Mediterranean, which will be emphasised in this promotion,” concluded Stanicic.
