On 1 July 2013, Croatia became the 28th Member State of the European Union. With its Mediterranean climate and long Adriatic coastline, Croatia is a popular tourism destination. In 2012, residents from EU Member States made more than 7.2 million trips to Croatia, accounting for 70.4 million tourism nights and 3.5 billion euro tourism expenditure (note: data for these variables are not including trips of residents from DK, EL, FR, PL, SE, UK).

This article takes a closer look at the importance of tourism for the Croatian economy and population.

Text with Footnote [1]

3 out of 4 persons employed in the tourism industries work in the Horeca sector

Economic data for the tourism industries shows that, in 2011, these industries whose economic activity includes tourism characteristic activities recorded a total turnover of EUR 4.2 billion (see Table 1). This corresponds to 5.4% of the total turnover of the non-financial business economy in Croatia, which is just below the 5.8% share of the tourism industries in the non-financial business economy for the EU-28 as a whole. Accommodation and food service activities represented 56% of the tourism industries’ turnover (compared to 35% at the level of the EU-28), these two industries also accounted for 75% of the over 120 000 persons employed in the tourism industries. The quarterly index of turnover for a subset of tourism industries (accommodation and food services, travel agency and tour operators) indicates a relatively stronger growth in Croatia over the period 2003-2013 as compared to the average evolution for the European Union (see Figure 1).
