Tourist nights in 2022 nearly as many as in 2019

U Hrvatskoj je tijekom 2022. godine ostvareno 18,9 milijuna dolazaka i 104,8 milijuna noćenja, tj. 37 posto više dolazaka i 25 posto više noćenja u odnosu na 2021. godinu. Pri tome su strani turisti ostvarili 92,3 milijuna noćenja, dok su domaći turisti ostvarili 12,5 milijuna noćenja. Ostvareno je 91 posto dolazaka i 96 posto noćenja ostvarenih u 2019. godini. Prvi su to podaci sustava eVisitor, koji sadrži turistički promet ostvaren u komercijalnim i nekomercijalnim objektima te nautičkom charteru (sustav eCrew). Najviše je turističkih noćenja ostvareno u Istarskoj (29,5 milijuna), Splitsko-dalmatinskoj (19,5 milijuna) i Primorsko-goranskoj županiji (18,3 milijuna). Zatim slijede Zadarska županija (14,9 milijuna noćenja), Dubrovačko-neretvanska (8 milijuna) te Šibensko-kninska županija (6,8 milijuna). Promatrajući rezultate destinacija, najviše je noćenja u 2022. godini ostvareno u Rovinju (4,2 milijuna), Dubrovniku (3,8 milijuna), Poreču (3,4 milijuna), Splitu (3,1 milijun) i Medulinu (3 milijuna). Gledano prema tržištima, u 2022. godini najveći broj noćenja ostvarili su strani gosti iz Njemačke (24,9 milijuna), Slovenije (10,1 milijuna), Austrije (8,2 milijuna), Poljske (6,7 milijuna), Češke (6 milijuna), Italije (4,2 milijuna), Ujedinjene Kraljevine (3,7 milijuna), Slovačke (3,3 milijuna) i Nizozemske (3,3 milijuna). Prema vrsti smještaja najviše noćenja ostvareno je u objektima u domaćinstvu (39,4 milijuna), hotelima (22,9 milijuna) i kampovima (20,8 milijuna). „ Čestitam još jednom svim turističkim djelatnicima i svima onima koji su doprinijeli ovoj povijesnoj turističkoj godini. Ostvarili smo rezultate koji su na razini dosad rekordne 2019. godine kada je u pitanju turistički promet, dok smo prihode već u prvih devet mjeseci premašili za više od milijardu eura. Već u prvih devet mjeseci premašene su i procjene HNB-a o prihodima od stranih turista za cijelu 2022. godinu, koje su govorile o ukupno 11,3 milijardi eura. U tom kontekstu očekujemo kako će prihodi od stranih turista za 2022. godinu iznositi oko 13 milijardi eura, što je odličan pokazatelj rasta kvalitete ponude kao i nastavka potražnje za Hrvatskom. Ova godina bila je rekordna i u pogledu nekih od naših najvećih tržišta poput Njemačke, Austrije, Poljske, Češke, Slovačke i Nizozemske s kojih smo ostvarili gotovo 800.000 dolazaka više nego li u 2019. godini. To je i odlična najava za 2023. godinu posebice u kontekstu ulaska Hrvatske u šengenski prostor i eurozonu. Naš fokus u 2023. godini ostaje na kvaliteti, održivosti i inovativnosti kako bi uspjesi turizma bili dugoročni te dodatno doprinijeli cjelokupnom gospodarskom i društvenom razvoju Hrvatske “, istaknula je ministrica turizma i sporta Nikolina Brnjac . „ Hvala još jednom cjelokupnom turističkom sektoru za sinergiju kojom smo treću godinu za redom ostvarili ponajbolji rezultat na Mediteranu. Uz ulazak Hrvatske u eurozonu i Schengen, koji će naš turizam učiniti još konkurentnijim, ušli smo optimistično u 2023. godinu u kojoj nas čeka implementacija novog Strateškog marketinškog i operativnog plana hrvatskog turizma, novi krovni komunikacijski koncept i slogan te novi marketinški smjer prema održivom razvoju i očuvanju resursne osnove po kojoj nas prepoznaju i hvale milijuni gostiju diljem svijeta. U 2023. godini cilj nam je potpuni oporavak turizma, dosezanje predpandemijskih turističkih rezultata na razini cijele zemlje te još jača disperzija turističkog prometa na pred i posezonu. Naglasak ćemo staviti na promociju hrvatskih otoka, skrivenih bisera hrvatske turističke ponude u unutrašnjosti zemlje, luksuznu ponudu, gastronomiju, ali i sve one turističke proizvode koji generiraju turističku potrošnju tijekom cijele godine “, izjavio je direktor Hrvatske turističke zajednice Kristjan Staničić najavivši kako je pred nama, s obzirom na inflaciju, rast cijena energenata te geopolitičke napetosti još jedna vrlo zahtjevna i izazovna turistička godina. Prihodi od stranih turista za 23 posto veći nego li u istom razdoblju 2019. godine Prema podacima Hrvatske narodne banke (HNB), u prvih devet mjeseci 2022. godine, prihodi stranih turista iznosili su 11 milijardi i 641 milijun eura što predstavlja rast od 43 posto u odnosu na isto razdoblje 2021. godine, odnosno prihodovano je 3 milijarde i 527 milijuna eura više. U odnosu na prvih devet mjeseci 2019. godine, prihodovano je 2 milijarde i 206 milijuna eura više, odnosno prihodi od stranih turista u 2022. godini su za 23 posto viši nego li u istom razdoblju 2019. godine. Prije tome su u trećem tromjesečju 2022. godine prihodi stranih turista iznosili 8 milijardi i 469 milijuna eura što predstavlja rast od 27 posto u odnosu na isto razdoblje 2021. godine. U odnosu na treće tromjesečje 2019. godine, prihodi od stranih turista u trećem tromjesečju 2022. godine su za 28 posto viši nego li u istom razdoblju 2019. godine.

Croatia records 16% increase in tourist arrivals in first half of 2023

Croatian records 16% increase in tourist arrivals in first half of 2023

Croatia has recorded over 6.7 million arrivals and over 27.3 million overnight stays from January to the end of June, a 16% increase in arrivals and a 10% increase in overnight stays compared to the same period last year, the Croatian Tourist Board said on Monday.

Additionally, there has been a 4% increase in overnight stays compared to the same period in 2019, according to data from the eVisitor system, which includes tourist traffic in commercial and non-commercial facilities, as well as nautical charters (eCrew system).

“The Croatian tourism industry has achieved positive and very good results in the first six months, both compared to last year and the record-breaking first six months of 2019. With an excellent May that saw a 30% increase compared to last year and a successful June that matched last year’s results, we are now at the beginning of July, the peak season, during which daily tourist numbers will continue to rise. We are currently carrying out promotional activities for the summer season in our source markets, especially in Germany, Italy, Poland, and the United States, as well as campaigns for the post-season where we expect an increase in tourist traffic compared to last year,” said Kristjan Staničić , Director of the Croatian Tourist Board.

In terms of counties, the highest number of overnight stays during the first six months was recorded in Istria (8.5 million overnight stays, +7% compared to 2022), Split-Dalmatia County (4.7 million overnight stays, +11% compared to 2022), Kvarner (4.5 million overnight stays, +6% compared to 2022), Zadar County (3 million overnight stays, +8% compared to 2022), Dubrovnik-Neretva County (2.5 million overnight stays, +20% compared to 2022), Šibenik-Knin County (1.3 million overnight stays, +1.5% compared to 2022), and Lika-Senj County (727 thousand overnight stays, +14% compared to 2022).

In Zagreb, there were 1.1 million overnight stays, a 20% increase compared to last year, while the rest of the continental region recorded over one million overnight stays, a 20% increase compared to last year.

“I believe that we can all be satisfied with the tourism indicators for the first half of this year. The excellent results in tourist traffic, surpassing the level of the same period in 2019, are accompanied by record-breaking financial indicators. According to the Croatian National Bank data, foreign tourist revenues for the first quarter of 2023 amounted to 672 million euros, which represents an increase of 38% compared to the reference period of the first three months of 2022, or an increase of 186 million euros. All of these data indicate that we are on the right track, that we have had one of the best pre-seasons of Croatian tourism, and that despite the challenging period, the tourism sector has remained stable, thanks in part to the generous measures taken by the Government of the Republic of Croatia.

The Government, even during the pandemic, when the focus was on preserving jobs and protecting tourists and employees in the sector, as well as during this recent energy crisis, has done everything to facilitate the work of entrepreneurs and maintain the standard of living for Croatian citizens. Our strategic goal is the development of year-round and regionally balanced tourism, and the crown of that management reform is the new Tourism Law, which will provide all destinations with tools for the development of sustainable and competitive tourism for the first time,” emphasised Nikolina Brnjac , Minister of Tourism and Sports.

Looking at destinations, the highest number of overnight stays during the first six months was recorded in Rovinj, Dubrovnik, Poreč, Split, and Umag. In terms of markets, the highest number of overnight stays during the first six months was from the German market (6.4 million overnight stays, +4% compared to 2022), Croatia (3.5 million overnight stays, +5% compared to 2022), Austria (2.6 million overnight stays, +6% compared to 2022), Slovenia (2.4 million overnight stays, +7% compared to 2022), Poland (1.5 million overnight stays, +13% compared to 2022), and the UK (1.2 million overnight stays, +7% compared to 2022).

In June, a total of 2.9 million arrivals and 15 million overnight stays were recorded in Croatia, representing a 2% increase in arrivals and a 1% increase in overnight stays compared to last year, or an equal result to June 2019.

Croatia's Popular Destinations Attract Record Visitors

In June, there were 2.7 million arrivals and 14.5 million overnight stays in the Adriatic counties, a 1% increase compared to last year. In Zagreb, there were 122 thousand arrivals (+22% compared to last year) and 235 thousand overnight stays (+13% compared to last year), while in the rest of the continental region, there were 128 thousand arrivals (+6% compared to last year) and 247 thousand overnight stays (+7% compared to last year).
