'Nine-tenths' of travellers to Croatia visit Adriatic coast

25 February 2009

Nine-tenths of travellers to Croatia take the time to visit locations on the Adriatic coast, it has been claimed.

Locations along the coastline, such as Split and Dubrovnik, have long proved popular with travellers, but one expert believes they are quickly becoming the country's major draw.

Meri Matesic, director of the UK's Croatia Tourism Board, commented: "Ninety per cent of tourist visits are to the coastal parts of Croatia on the Adriatic.

"Croatia is truly Mediterranean - it is a country with more than 1,000 islands, a sailing and boating paradise. Dubrovnik is an attraction of itself."

She added that the tourists flocked to the UNESCO Heritage Site not only for its culture and history, but for its good selection of clubs, cafes and bars.

Earlier this month, an expert from real estate firm Investment Group commented that the country was becoming "very serious" about gaining European Union membership.
