British visitors to Croatia up by a quarter

Thursday, 18 Sep, 2012 0

British visitors to Croatia are up 23% compared to the same period last year, with 241,443 British visitors arriving this year.

Figures released by the Croatian National Tourist Office (CNTO) reveal a significant increase in visitors choosing the destination.

"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," says 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."

This week also sees the launch of the second wave of the CNTO’s 2012 marketing campaign which will run across UK newspapers. The campaign will encourage even more Brits to experience a Croatian city break this autumn/winter.
