ZAGREB, June 23, 2020 - Tourists generated 842,659 nights over the June 19-22 extended weekend in Croatia and an average of 210,000 stayed in the country per day, the National Tourist Board (HTZ) said on Tuesday.

Domestic tourists accounted for 23% of the nights and foreigners for 77%. The most numerous foreigners were Germans, Slovenians, Austrians, and the Czech.

The highest number of nights was generated in Istria County, followed by Primorje-Gorski Kotar and Zadar counties.

HTZ director Kristjan Stanicic said Croatia was among the few Mediterranean countries generating a tourism turnover at the moment.

"The system of defence against coronavirus across the country is at a high level... We have ensured the conditions for a safe tourist summer... and it's up to all of us, citizens and tourists, to behave responsibly and adhere to all the epidemiological measures," he added.
