Hungarian tourist numbers in Croatia break 2019 record

The number of Hungarian tourists visiting Croatia last year increased by 13 percent to a record 728,000 compared with 2019, the last record year, the Croatian National Tourism Board Office in Hungary said on Wednesday.

The number of guest nights spent by Hungarians in the neighbouring country last year went up by 10 percent to 3.6 million compared with 2019, the office said in a statement.

The increase in the number of Hungarian tourists was 30 percent in the months of February and May, and during the last three months of 2023, which shows that Croatia attracts Hungarians throughout the year for city visits, cultural programmes and active leisure activities, it said.

The most popular destinations included the regions of Kvarner, Istria, Zadar and Split with the cities of Crikvenica, Medulin, Opatija, Porec, Rovinj and Vir.
