Croatian tourism safety and economic trends

Overview

Tourism in Croatia has faced various challenges during the peak summer season, ranging from safety concerns to economic shifts. On the island of Kaprije, residents and tourists raised alarms regarding safety, noting that speeding electric vehicles on pedestrian promenades and high-speed maritime traffic near shorelines have endangered swimmers and divers.

In the Makarska region, the impact of mass tourism has been highlighted by extreme overcrowding on city beaches. While beach attendance remains high, hospitality owners in Makarska have reported a decline in seasonal revenue, with spending estimated to be at least 20 percent lower than the previous year. Business owners attribute this to a shift in consumer behavior, where frugal guests opt to cook in apartments rather than dine out, as well as the impact of local infrastructure works.
