“After the until now record year 2022 in terms of foreign tourist revenue, in 2023 we are registering even better results. Croatia has made big progress in quality and become recognised as a desirable tourist destination also outside of the summer months,” Minister Nikolina Brnjac said.

She thanked all tourism workers for their effort and engagement.

Together with the stakeholders in tourism, the government has developed a structured dialogue and a partnership, and we will continue to support the quality development of Croatian tourism, she said.
