Written by  Jan 08, 2016

The New York Times has recommended the island of Korcula as a top destination to visit in 2016. In an article on The New York Times travel section entitled “52 Places to Go in 2016,” the island of Korcula near Dubrovnik finished in seventeenth position on the list.

“It’s a big world out there, so we’ve narrowed it down for you. From ancient temples to crystalline waters, here are our top destinations to visit this year,” opens the article. Publicity in such a renowned publication is certain to increase interest with potential tourists to Croatia this summer season. In 2015 American tourists were the second most numerous in Dubrovnik and the indicators are that this year could be even better.

“Beyoncé and Jay Z called this one. The couple’s 2011 visit to Hvar Island seemed to open the tourist floodgates to Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast. Korcula is Hvar’s more modest neighbour,” adds the article proving that celebrity visits are great PR.
