Association of British Travel Agents holding convention in Dubrovnik

The annual convention of the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) was opened in Dubrovnik on Sunday, with 550 participants in attendance.

A press conference was held with Croatian National Tourist Board president Meri Matesic and ABTA president Noel Josephides.

The convention is a big recognition to Croatia and Dubrovnik as well as a confirmation of the growing popularity of Croatia as a destination among British tourists, it was said.

The first nine months of 2013 saw a 25 per cent increase in British arrivals and bed/nights in Croatia year on year.

This was ABTA's first convention in Dubrovnik.
