Croatia's Tourism Achieves Record-breaking Numbers in 2023 Despite Global Challenges
Croatia's tourism industry thrived in 2023, surpassing expectations and overcoming global challenges. According to the eVisitor system, which encompasses data from both commercial and non-commercial establishments, as well as nautical charter services (eCrew system), the country welcomed over 20.6 million visitors and recorded an impressive 108 million overnight stays. This marks a substantial 9% increase in arrivals and a 3% surge in overnight stays compared to the previous year.
A noteworthy aspect of these achievements is the overall results for all accommodation capacities, which equal the figures from 2019. Particularly in commercial facilities, such as hotels, campsites, and household establishments, there was a remarkable 1.2% growth in overnight stays compared to 2019.
Kristjan Staničić, the Director of the Croatian Tourist Board , highlighted Croatia's reinforced position as one of Europe's most sought-after destinations. He pointed out that not only did the tourism results reflect this, but other indicators such as growing tourism revenue also supported this claim. Looking ahead to 2024, Staničić acknowledged the challenges posed by the current global situation but expressed optimism, stating, "Through the implementation of promotional activities and campaigns, we plan to maintain the competitiveness of Croatian tourism by promoting sustainability and quality."
Croatia's tourism by region
When analyzing Croatia's tourism results by region, Istria led the way with 30 million overnight stays (+2% from 2022), followed by Split-Dalmatia County with 20.2 million overnight stays (+3% from 2022) and Kvarner with 18.5 million overnight stays (+1% from 2022).
Minister of Tourism and Sports, Nikolina Brnjac, expressed satisfaction with the tourism traffic and financial results in 2023. She highlighted the enactment of the first comprehensive Tourism Law, providing tools for managing tourism towards sustainability. Brnjac emphasized, "With secured financial resources, both through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan and the State Budget, we have created all the conditions to approach 2024 with great optimism for the even stronger realization of all our goals."
Zadar County, Dubrovnik-Neretva County, and Lika-Senj County also experienced significant increases in overnight stays, contributing to the overall success. In the capital city, Zagreb , a notable growth of +13% in overnight stays compared to 2022 was recorded.

December proved to be a particularly strong month for Croatian tourism, with a remarkable 17% increase in arrivals and a 10% increase in overnight stays compared to the previous year. Over 394 thousand arrivals and 938 thousand overnight stays were recorded during this period.
As 2023 came to a close, guests from various markets contributed to Croatia's success, with Germany (23.6 million overnight stays), Croatia (13 million overnight stays), Slovenia (10.6 million overnight stays), and Austria (8.4 million overnight stays) leading the way. The enchanting destinations of Rovinj, Dubrovnik, Poreč, Split, and Umag saw the highest number of overnight stays.
Notably, almost 90 thousand guests celebrated New Year's Eve in Croatia , marking a 12% increase from the previous year. This positive momentum sets the stage for Croatia's tourism industry to face the challenges of 2024 with confidence and determination.
