When it comes to coronavirus situation in Croatia, two things are certain: Croatia reacted to the virus fast and efficiently and this summer season will be hard and challenging. 

BBC has just published an article on this topic, titled Coronavirus: Greece and Croatia acted fast, now need to save summer, praising the two countries on their reaction when it comes to virus, but also seeing the problems that the rest of the year brings – especially the possibility of the ruined summer season.

-For Croatia the problem is no longer how to keep foreigners out, but to bring them back in. About half of Croatia's 20 million annual visitors arrive in July and August and tourism is responsible for at least a fifth of its economic output – BBC explains, giving a small timeline of how things started and were handled in Croatia in Greece.

As BBC writes, Croatia needs co-operation from its neighbours, Slovenia in particular. Slovenians rank second only to Germans in terms of the number of nights they spend in Croatia. If you travel by road from Northern Europe you have to cross Slovenia to reach the beaches of Istria Dalmatian and the Kvarner Gulf.

They add that the two countries' tourism ministers met in Zagreb last week to sketch out a plan to allow Slovenians to travel across Croatia's borders by the end of this month, with other nationalities following in June.

Also, Czech travel agencies are keen to establish a "corona corridor" enabling quarantine-free travel to the coast, a plan warmly received by Croatia's prime minister, Andrej Plenkovic. A survey in Austria too has indicated that people are still hoping to bask in the Croatian sun.
