Croatia has been a member of the UNWTO since 1993.

At the fifth plenary session of the UNWTO General Assembly in Zambia and Zimbabwe in August 2013, Croatia was elected a member of the UNWTO Executive Council for a period of four years.

The fact that the UNWTO Executive Council will meet in Rovinj is a major acknowledgement of Croatia for its participation in the work of the World Tourism Organisation, the Ministry said.
