15 August 2008

The number of travellers making journeys to and from Croatia has risen, according to a study released this week.

Figures from the country's Bureau of Statistics show 677,000 passengers have flown with Croatian carriers in the second quarter of 2008, reports Seenews.com.

The number represents a 1.3 per cent increase on data for the same time period in 2007.

Airport traffic is also up, with a 4.5 per cent rise when compared to last year's figures, while the results show more than 490,000 passengers were carried by domestic aircrafts during the research period, the website reports.

The news comes shortly after an official study showed rising numbers of tourists in Zagreb, states Javno.com

Meanwhile, it has this week been claimed visitors may be attracted to Croatia through food.

Analysts Ian Yeoman, writing for website Hospitalitynet.org, claimed for those who travel to Croatia food tourism "plays an important part of the overall experience".
