​Gov't amends regulation on tourist campground concession fees

The Croatian government on Thursday amended regulations on models and conditions for granting concessions for tourist campgrounds co-owned by the state so as to precisely define the area considered to be used as a camping site. Tourism Minister Gari Cappelli said that the changes had been made due to the calculation of the variable part of the concession fee which takes account of the level of development of local communities where camping sites are located.

The changes also shift deadlines for the payment of the variable part of concession fees from 31 March to 31 May.

Companies running camping sites will be also allowed to pay concession fees in installments.

In 2018, the tourism ministry issued invoices for all campground concession fees in the amount of 28 million kuna.

Of that amount, HRK 16.8 million was paid into the Tourism Fund, and 11.2 million into the budgets of local communities.
