The Day of Croatian Tourism was held in Moscow on Thursday at which Croatia's tourist trade was presented to over 100 Russian companies and travel agencies, the Croatian Tourism Ministry and the National Tourism Board (HTZ) said in a press release.

Participating in this event, Croatian Tourism Minister Gari Capelli, who held several bilateral meetings with Russian officials, spoke about the importance of the Russian market for his country. He described the Croatian-Russian relations as positive.
