Velika Gorica economic expansion

Overview

In late July 2026, data showed Velika Gorica experiencing a sharp rise in tourism, with arrivals and overnight stays increasing by double‑digits and subsidies awarded to improve local accommodation. Within the same week, the city reported a strong surge in employment, adding thousands of jobs, raising average net salaries above national levels, and attracting new investment to business zones. Revenues and profits of local entrepreneurs also grew markedly, signalling a broader and accelerating economic upswing in the town.

These developments together illustrate how tourism growth and targeted subsidies are coinciding with robust job creation and wage gains, reinforcing Velika Gorica’s position as a leading driver of Croatia’s regional economy.
