Summer tourist crowds started. Minister: ‘We do not need growth in the season, the boundaries should be determined’
We have to determine Growth boundaries because our destinations must remain alive, not to be empty scenes and museums. Croatia no longer seeks growth in the main season but in the pre -season and post -season, Tonči Glavina Tourism Minister and Sport said yesterday. In Dubrovnik, with representatives of the World Tourist Organization and the University of Zagreb, he signed an agreement on the organization of the award for sustainable tourism.

It is ungrateful to compare tourist data over the same day last year, he added, because they depend on different movable holidays and holidays. He also recalled that Croatia has been recording a hyperinflation of the growth of rental offerings for years, and in the conditions of the same number of guests, renters have worse traffic.
– We want to protect them, not to come into a situation where individual tourist traffic is 30 or 40 percent worse for them, and that Croatia is recording growth. We cannot fill these capacities with excessive tourism. We have the limits of capacity based on infrastructure and available workforce – said Glavina, HRT reports.
At the same time, the first summer big crowds began yesterday at the Split air and ferry port due to increased number of tourists. 45,000 passengers will pass through the airport for the weekend and 47,000 through the city ferry port. 180 aircraft will land at the airport runway for the weekend. They have more than 20,000 passengers every day, and records are expected in July. The ferry port said that all the lines were filled and that for some islands they introduced additional ferry lines, HRT reports.
