Summing up results in the tourism sector so far, Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic and Tourism Minister Gari Cappelli said at the start of the government session on Thursday that this year's very successful tourist season would be better than last year's record season.
Investments in the tourism sector in 2017 amounted to EUR 870 million and this year they have been increased to around one billion euros as part of a concept of sustainable tourism, with investments focusing on better service quality in Croatian destinations.
Statistics released so far show a 5% increase in arrivals and a 4% increase in overnight stays. Since the start of the year, 14.6 million tourists have visited Croatia, generating 80 million overnight stays, and announcements for the post-season are very good as well, it was said.
"All these indicators show that results in the tourism sector this year are very encouraging," said Plenkovic.
The prime minister also said that the number of fires had been reduced this year by 75%.
