June 23, 2021 - TCN contributor Ana Bačić talks about a busy summer in Croatia for American tourists!
The latest developments regarding the introduction of direct flights to Croatia continue to improve this summer season, placing Croatia on the radar for many fans and avid travelers seeking new adventures. Whether travelling from Europe, the US, or Canada there are many options to reach the most popular tourist destinations. According to the Ministry of Tourism press releases, visitors can expect a positive tourist season, despite pandemic situations. All safety precautions were taken, in addition to most of the tourist sector employees being vaccinated.
From early 2021, Croatia has experienced a significant increase in tourism from the US market compared to other Mediterranean countries. American arrivals to Croatia are expected this summer in greater numbers than before. Owner of Croatia Travel Agency in New York Boris Miketić noticed an increased interest in bookings: “This is the first time ever that two American companies are serving Croatia with non-stop flights. Our website not only features excellence of Croatia but also offers airline tickets, hotels, car rentals, insurance and activities (such as day tours).”
The United Airlines from Newark to Dubrovnik and Delta Airlines from JFK to Dubrovnik were newly introduced non-stop flights. Consequently, Dubrovnik became the top searched city on many platforms especially as we head into a highly anticipated and busy summer travel season. As one of the most attractive year-round destinations in the Mediterranean, popularity among visitors is noticeable. The city’s stellar tourism offering, strong infrastructure, warm and inviting hospitality, and quality of service all anchored around its “City for all seasons” motto. Additionally, the new airline Pragusa One introduced flights from Los Angeles and New York to Dubrovnik, which should operate a couple of times a week.
Although the above flights will help many visitors from North America reach Croatia, there are still plenty of other ways to travel to Croatia.
For anyone preferring to fly into Croatia (via a stopover), the best places to fly to in Europe are Amsterdam or somewhere in Germany (one has a number of options, but Munich and Frankfurt are probably the best airports to fly to). Great news as the Dutch airline KLM increases daily flights from Amsterdam to Croatian destinations such as Dubrovnik, Split, and Zagreb for the summer season.
Another popular stopover is Italy. Certainly, a great country to fly to – and many travelers plan a two-country holiday of Italy and Croatia. There are numerous buses and ferries connecting the two countries.
