Croatia’s aims of creating a year-round tourist season look a little nearer this winter, with the news of more direct flights into the country’s main hubs for 2023-24.
This follows the announcement of record visitor numbers this year to date, showing that the Croatian tourist industry has recovered from the pandemic.
With Advent just around the corner, and Croatia benefitting from the adoption of the euro and integration into the border-free Schengen zone earlier this year, an influx of visitors in the usually quiet winter months is the icing on the cake for the tourism-focused economy.
As well as from Central Europe and the UK, Croatia is looking forward to welcoming guests flying directly from the Gulf this winter. The main point of entry will be Zagreb, where the month-long Christmas market is due to take over the city centre from this weekend, December 2.
