Revenue from foreign tourists in the first quarter of 2024 reached 824.7 million euros, according to the data from the Croatian National Bank (HNB). This represents an increase of 24.61 percent compared to the same period last year, which is an increase of 162.9 million euros. "We are pleased that the trend of achieving record revenues from foreign tourists in the past two years has continued into 2024. From 2016 to 2023, when revenues reached a record 14.6 billion euros, we have seen an increase of 75%. Now this growth is even more pronounced outside the summer months. This is also a confirmation of all the strategic activities of the Government of the Republic of Croatia, through which we position Croatia as a year-round tourist destination. The results of this year's pre-season also showed success, as we achieved 12% better tourist traffic in the first five months compared to the same period last year," said the Minister of Tourism and Sports Tonči Glavina.

According to the analysis of the HNB, revenue from foreign tourists in the first three months of 2024 significantly increased compared to the previous year, confirming the positive trend in Croatian tourism. Minister Glavina emphasized the importance of the continuous efforts of the Government of the Republic of Croatia in promoting Croatia as a destination that offers tourist attractions throughout the year.

The success is also visible in the increase in the number of arrivals and overnight stays of tourists outside the summer months, which additionally contributes to Croatia's year-round attractiveness as a tourist destination. Minister Glavina stressed that these results are an indicator of the success of strategies aimed at diversifying the tourist offer and extending the tourist season.

Tourism desk

Our Travel Desk was born out of a long-standing passion for travel, discovering new places, and serious journalism. Behind every article stand people who have been living tourism for decades – as travelers, tourism workers, guides, hosts, editors, and reporters. For more than thirty years, destinations, seasonal trends, infrastructure development, changes in travelers’ habits, and everything that turns a trip into an experience – and not just a ticket and an accommodation reservation – have been closely followed. These experiences are transformed into articles conceived as a companion to the reader: honest, informed, and always on the traveler’s side.

At the Travel Desk, we write from the perspective of someone who has truly walked the cobblestones of old towns, taken local buses, waited for the ferry in peak season, and searched for a hidden café in a small alley far from the postcards. Every destination is observed from multiple angles – how travelers experience it, what the locals say about it, what stories are hidden in museums and monuments, but also what the real quality of accommodation, beaches, transport links, and amenities is. Instead of generic descriptions, the focus is on concrete advice, real impressions, and details that are hard to find in official brochures.

Special attention is given to conversations with restaurateurs, private accommodation hosts, local guides, tourism workers, and people who make a living from travelers, as well as those who are only just trying to develop lesser-known destinations. Through such conversations, stories arise that do not show only the most famous attractions but also the rhythm of everyday life, habits, local cuisine, customs, and small rituals that make every place unique. The Travel Desk strives to record this layer of reality and convey it in articles that connect facts with emotion.

The content does not stop at classic travelogues. It also covers topics such as sustainable tourism, off-season travel, safety on the road, responsible behavior towards the local community and nature, as well as practical aspects like public transport, prices, recommended neighborhoods to stay in, and getting your bearings on the ground. Every article goes through a phase of research, fact-checking, and editing to ensure that the information is accurate, clear, and applicable in real situations – from a short weekend trip to a longer stay in a country or city.

The goal of the Travel Desk is that, after reading an article, the reader feels as if they have spoken to someone who has already been there, tried everything, and is now honestly sharing what is worth seeing, what to skip, and where those moments are hidden that turn a trip into a memory. That is why every new story is built slowly and carefully, with respect for the place it is about and for the people who will choose their next destination based on these words.
