As Morski writes, it appears less and less people are remotely bothered about the ECDC’s corona map as the tourist results for all of Croatia are still excellent. According to data from the eVisitor system, 530 thousand tourists are currently staying somewhere in Croatia, of which 475 thousand are foreign guests, mostly from Germany, Austria, Poland, Slovenia and the Czech Republic, reports Dnevnik.hr.
One year ago, about 200,000 people spent their summer holidays in the country, and at the same time in the record year of 2019, the trusty eVisitor system recorded a massive 470,000 tourists in Croatia. The competent minister, Nikolina Brnjac, is convinced that a very good post-season awaits us if we’re looking at the numbers of tourists in Croatia we still have, even though the very height of the summer season is now behind us.
Could the remarkably good tourist announcements for September end up coming to nothing if we end up remaining in the ”red” on the coronavirus map? “We’re the safest destination in the Mediterranean” is a slogan we’ve been hearing throughout summer, and it seems as if, at least by comparison to the competition, it’s still true.
”Those who come to Croatia now are mostly vaccinated people. They know how standardised travel is, they know what the rules of entry are. Most of the existing reservations are not being cancelled or given up on, so we’re continuing with the good trend, and we hope to continue on this way,” concluded the Minister of Tourism and Sport, Nikolina Brnjac.
