So far 2019 was the best year of tourist activity in Croatia ever. Tourist spending normally accounted for more than 20% of GDP. As one of the most important tourist destinations in the Mediterranean, Croatia boasts a long-standing tradition in tourism and shows great potential for development.

— Tourists vacationing in Croatia in 2019 spent a daily average of €98 per person and per overnight stay, with the amount being slightly higher in the continental part

of the country (€115), and a little lower on the coast (€97). Hotel guests spend the most on average (€142).
