The existing rules are bad, but new regulations will lead to an even worse situation, say Croatian tourist guides.

Visiting Croatia means you'll probably frequent some of the local bars and restaurants, maybe even a festival or two. Prices for drinks and food are fixed and noted on the menus, but there's always that crucial question without an official answer: do you leave a tip, and if yes, how much? This article is an attempt to provide some insight into the tipping etiquette in Croatia from a local's perspective.

The Tourism Minister announces that this year, tourism could bring a much higher growth than the European average, expected to be 3 to 4% higher than last year.

According to the latest data from eVisitor, Croatia saw 190,479 arrivals and 885,166 overnight stays since January. Compared to the same period last year, the number of arrivals has increased by 36.74 % and the number of overnight stays by 37.14 %. An official press release on June 19, 2017.
