Tourism trends along the Adriatic coast have shown varied performance across different regions. Early reports indicated mixed results, with growth in areas like Šibenik and Tivat, Montenegro, contrasted by challenges in Pula and Dubrovnik. In Dubrovnik, some establishments saw declines of “20 to 30 percent” as tourists became more price-sensitive. Additionally, industry experts noted a shift toward “last minute” bookings.

Subsequent reports indicate significant growth and record-breaking results in specific locations. Pag, Croatia, recorded increases in both arrivals and overnight stays, with the hotel sector seeing a 5 percent rise in overnight stays. In Plužine, Montenegro, the municipality experienced a historic surge, with a 35 percent increase in arrivals compared to the previous year, surpassing total overnight stays recorded in 2025.
