Tourism in Croatia
Croatia has long been a popular tourist destination, known for its stunning coastline, beautiful islands, rich history, and vibrant culture. In recent years, the country has seen a significant increase in tourist arrivals, with over 20 million visitors in 2019.
Top Visitors to Croatia
According to data from the Croatian National Tourist Board, the majority of visitors to Croatia come from neighboring European countries such as Germany, Austria, and Italy. These countries have historically been the top sources of tourism for Croatia, due to their proximity and easy access to the country.
Other significant sources of tourism for Croatia include the United Kingdom, France, and the United States, with a growing number of visitors coming from Asia and other parts of the world.
Impact of Joining Schengen
With Croatia joining the Schengen Area, it is expected that the country will see an increase in tourist arrivals from other Schengen countries. The removal of border controls and the ease of travel within the Schengen Zone will make it more convenient for European tourists to visit Croatia, leading to a potential boost in tourism for the country.
Additionally, joining Schengen may also attract more tourists from non-Schengen countries, as the open borders and simplified travel procedures make Croatia an even more appealing destination for international visitors.
As Croatia prepares to join the Schengen Area, the country’s tourism industry is poised for further growth. With its diverse attractions and easy access for travelers, Croatia is likely to continue attracting visitors from around the world, making it a top destination for both European and international tourists.
As the country moves forward as part of the Schengen Zone, it will be interesting to see how the tourism landscape evolves and which countries will become the top visitors to Croatia in the years to come.
