Tourism

Croatia is a small country by the Adriatic coast. Because of very beautiful Mediterranean climate and a amazingly clean sea, it is suitable for tourism. Increased efforts in recent years to systematically analyze the international tourist market resulted in a new sign and logo of Croatian tourism and a slogan "Small Country for a Great Holiday", under which promotional events on the international tourist market have been organized since Croatia became an independent state.

 

One of the significant characteristics of Croatian tourism is the marked concentration of tourist facilities along the Adriatic coast, which indicates that the tourist trade is more developed along the coast than in the continental parts of the country.
Another prominent feature of Croatian tourism is its seasonal nature. The basic accommodation facilities are used 104 days by foreign tourists and 36 days by domestic tourists. Complementary accommodation is occupied 31 days by foreign and 27 days by domestic guests, which translates into 58 days of full occupancy. Research results show that most tourists come to Croatia individually, mainly by passenger car.
