TOURISM UPDATE:
More than half a million of tourists in Croatia over the past weekend
According to the eVisitor system, which records tourism registration data in the commercial and non-commercial segment and the nautical charter (eCrew system), over the past weekend and for the first time this year, more than 500,000 tourists were staying in Croatian destinations, of which more than 430,000 are foreign tourists.

In the period from the 1st to 10th of July, 600 thousand arrivals were recorded in Croatia (46% of the results achieved during the same period last year) and 4.4 million overnights (53% of the results achieved during the same period last year). Looking at overnight stays recorded in the same period by counties, most of them were recorded in Istria (1.2 million overnights), Primorsko-Goranska County (975,000 overnights) and Zadar County (819,000 overnights). Followed by Split-Dalmatia County with 706,000 overnights, Šibenik-Knin County with 321,000 overnights, Dubrovnik-Neretva County with 1
