Economic and tourism trends in Zadar, Croatia

Overview

The Zadar region in Croatia has seen a surge in interest from the British tourism market, with Manchester Airport identifying it as one of the ten fastest-growing summer destinations. Media coverage, including features in The Times, has highlighted the natural beauty of locations such as Dugi otok and Kornati National Park.

However, this economic activity has coincided with rising living costs. In July, Zadar was identified as the most expensive city in Croatia based on consumer basket data, with a basic grocery basket for a four-member family costing 498 euros. Local vendors report a decline in customers due to high prices for meat, fish, and produce. Experts suggest this inflation may be a consequence of the region’s rapid economic growth outstripping the pace of wage and pension increases.
