People travelling to Zagreb

Zagreb is an important tourist centre, not only in terms of passengers travelling from Western and Central Europe to the Adriatic Sea, but also as a travel destination itself. Since the end of the Croatian War of Independence, it attracts around half a million visitors annually, mainly from Austria, Germany and Italy. However, the city has greater potential as many tourists that visit Croatia skip Zagreb in order to visit the beaches along the Croatian Adriatic coast and old historic Renaissance cities such as Dubrovnik, Split, and Zadar.

According to the World Travel and Tourism Council’s recently revised annualized real growth figures for travel and tourism demand from 2007 to 2016, Croatia achieves a coveted top five position in the charts with expected tourism demand growth of 7.6% a year for the next nine years.
