Croatia tourism sees rising costs and celebrity endorsements

Visitors to the Croatian coast are noting a rise in costs, though the country remains a popular destination. A long-time tourist from Bratislava noted that while Split has become more expensive, particularly regarding food and accommodation, the increase is somewhat expected due to the country's membership in the European Union and the adoption of the euro.

In contrast to rising costs, high-profile visitors are praising the region. Dutch DJ Armin van Buuren shared his positive experience after a three-week family holiday on the Adriatic. He visited several locations, including Lošinj, Rab, Split, and Rovinj, and explored Krka National Park and Kornati National Park. Van Buuren highlighted the clarity of the sea and the ability to disconnect from his professional life, offering a positive endorsement of Croatian tourism.
