Croatia has seen a 23% increase in tourism arrivals from the UK in the last eight months compared to the same period last year.
Its national tourist office said 241, 443 Brits visited the country in the first eight months of the year as the destination increases its airlift and still holds as a celebrity favourite.
“It’s fantastic to see more Brits than ever choosing Croatia as their summer holiday destination. This year we’re on target to reach 300,000 UK visitors, which clearly shows that we can return to our record-breaking figure of 500,000 in 1990,” said Meri Matesic, UK & Ireland director of the CNTO.
“I’m confident that the UK and Irish markets will continue to grow in 2013, especially with the introduction of more flights, new routes and holiday packages from providers like Jet2, giving UK travellers greater flexibility and choice when booking a holiday to Croatia,” she added.
