Croatia is absolutely buzzing this year, with a jaw-dropping 16.9 million tourists swarming the country’s stunning shores in just eight months! That’s a 4% jump from last year, with 89.4 million overnight stays to match.

Top of the charts are holidaymakers from Germany, Slovenia, and Austria, who just can’t get enough of Croatia’s beaches, bringing in 2.5 million, 1.4 million, and 1.26 million visitors each. The biggest hotspots? Rovinj, Dubrovnik, Poreč, Split, and Umag – the places to be if you want to soak up the sun and sea vibes.

Tourism boss Tonci Glavina says these record-breaking numbers are all part of the plan to keep the crowds coming in, especially before and after the peak summer months. And get this – Croatia’s raking in the cash too, with €15.2 billion in tourism revenue expected this year, smashing records with a 4% increase!
