Written by  Dec 01, 2021

This year, for the sixth time, National Geographic Traveler (UK) organized the "Reader Awards" award, as part of which the readers of this prestigious magazine ranked Croatia among the top three countries in the "best closer destinations" category, said Darija Reić, director of the Croatian National Tourist Board offices in Great Britain. Namely, in the mentioned category, Italy was declared the best destination, while along with our country, Greece was also a finalist in this category.

"At a time when travel is still uncertain, the British are constantly looking for inspiration for future travel. In doing so, they rely on reliable media such as National Geographic, which has been dominating the UK media space in the travel magazine segment for more than a decade with its content and quality. We are extremely pleased and happy that the readers of such a large media paid tribute to the uniqueness of Croatia and thus highlighted our country as one of the destinations that the British are always happy to visit," said Reić.

"This is another in a series of awards to all my colleagues and the entire Croatian tourism for a job well done in a year marked by the global corona virus pandemic, especially if we know that National Geographic awards are given by readers, i.e. British travel enthusiasts," said the director of the Croatian National Tourist Board, Kristjan Staničić.
