December the 28th, 2021 - Croatian Christmas tourism figures have been dominated by Croatian tourists exploring the rest of the country, Slovenian visitors and of course, the always faithful Germans.

As Poslovni Dnevnik/Suzana Varosanec writes, along with the Slovenes and Germans, Croats exploring their own country have so far been the most numerous guests staying across the Republic of Croatia during the Christmas and New Year holidays, according to the latest sales statistics of Croatia Luxury Rent.

In terms of Croatian Christmas tourism numbers, these are followed by Austrians, Italians, Hungarians, Poles and Serbs, and in addition to the above markets, guests from France, Switzerland and neighboring Bosnia and Herzegovina are also quite numerous in the country at this moment in time.

As they announced, they are especially happy that the number of domestic guests is systematically growing from year to year and that "Croats along with Germans and Slovenes will make up the largest number of guests who will stay in Croatia over 2021's festive period.''

"Croatian guests topped the list of the most numerous guests during last year's festive period, which was to be expected due to the situation and the events caused by the coronavirus pandemic at the time. This festive season, due to somewhat more liberal measures and the possibility of crossing borders much more easily, the situation has changed somewhat, so, along with the Croats, German tourists are the most numerous in CLR accommodation units, while the Slovenes are in third place,'' they explained when looking at their Croatian Christmas tourism figures.

This year's sale of festive tourism arrangements has given rise to a very specific situation according to which, according to them, Central Dalmatia has almost equated the percentage of the number of arrangements sold up north in Istria. However, in the last ten days, things have returned to their earlier standards.

"Istria is at the top with an almost 45 percent share in the total number of reservations sold, followed by Dalmatia and the islands with 29 percent, Kvarner with 18 percent, and the continental part of the country, which accounts for 8 percent,'' according to the CLR.
