As reported by HrTurizam.hr, Ina Rodin, director of the Croatian National Tourist Board in New York, took over these golden awards in the Miami Beach Convention Center, which are popularly and often called the Travel Oscar.
“We are delighted that Croatia is still popular among the best ambassadors, travel agents, and their clients. Getting two Travvy awards in the category of best Mediterranean destination and the European tourism organization is a great overture to 2022. This recognition by leading industry experts certainly gives us the wind in our sails and is proof of the hard work, dedication, and overall efforts of the Croatian National Tourist Board and our tourist colleagues from across the country to present Croatia in the best light as a destination that will successfully attract American visitors in the future.”, said Rodin.

Along with the silver that went to the Croatian Tourist Board, in the category of the best European tourist organization, gold went to Ireland, while in the category of the best destination in the Mediterranean, where Croatia won bronze, the gold went to Greece.
“Winning such valuable recognitions in the year marked by the global coronavirus pandemic is an exceptional success and achievement of the entire Croatian tourism sector, especially if we know that the awards are given according to the choice of profession, such as tour operators and travel agents. With very good results of tourist traffic from the American market this year and the introduction of two direct flights on the route New York – Dubrovnik, these awards are an additional confirmation of the excellent position that our country enjoys on the tourist map of the world”, said the director of the Croatian Tourist Board Kristjan Stanicic.
