26 March 2009

The number of holidaymakers travelling to Croatia rose last year, according to the latest statistics.

Figures published by Companiesandmarkets.com show that the Adriatic nation benefited from a 2.6 per cent rise in foreign visitors.

The data, which was recorded during the first eight months of last year, also revealed that Croatia was attracting more tourists from Slovenia and Germany in particular.

Commenting on the popularity of Croatia as a holiday destination, director of the country's tourism board, Meri Matesic, recently said: "Croatia is … known worldwide for its natural beauty and there are only a few countries in the world where you can find so many wonderful and different landscapes in such a small area."

She added that the nation also benefited from an excellent transport and travel infrastructure, which include modern highways and global air connections.

According to data published by the Croatian Bureau of Statistics earlier this month, the country is becoming increasingly popular with tourists from Japan.
