Tourism in Croatia information


Dubrovnik is one of Croatia's most popular tourist destinations.

Tourism in Croatia (Croatian: turizam u Hrvatskoj) is a major industry of country's economy, accounting for almost 20% of Croatia's gross domestic product (GDP) as of 2021.[1]

The history of tourism in Croatia dates back to its time as part of Austria-Hungary when wealthy aristocrats would converge to the sea,[2] but had expanded greatly in the 1960s and '70s under the economic policies of the former Yugoslavia.[3] Today, Croatia is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the Mediterranean, with a total of 11.2 million tourists visiting in 2021.[4]

Tourism in Croatia is concentrated in the areas along the Adriatic coast and is strongly seasonal, peaking in July and August.[5] Eight areas in the country have been designated national parks, with an additional eleven as nature parks.[6] Currently, there are ten sites in Croatia on the UNESCO List of World Heritage Sites.[7]
