"The tourist season of 2024 began significantly earlier compared to 2023. This was contributed to by excellent coordination between the City Administration, Tourist Board, and the Management of the Ruđer Bošković Airport. Following a fantastic March, we also had an outstanding April,” stated the Mayor of Dubrovnik, Mato Frankovic, on his social media channels.

And added “I don't believe that the success of a destination is solely measured by the number of overnight stays; it is just one indicator. However, when we add to that figure the achieved turnover of Dubrovnik Pass and tickets for the city walls, the picture becomes much clearer.”

From the middle of this week until the weekend, Dubrovnik received more than 14,000 tourists, which is a massive 23 percent increase compared to the same time period from last year.

According to eVisitor system data, the most numerous guests are from the UK, France, the USA, Poland, and Germany.
