CROATIA - TOURISM
Tourism
in Croatia is a well-developed industry as Croatia is an attractive
tourist destination, particularly because of its extensive coastline
and well-preserved coastal Renaissance towns. In 2005, Croatia had 10
million tourist visitors. [1]
The interior of the country, with the
exception of the capital Zagreb, the erstwhile Baroque capital Varaždin
and a plethora of medieval castles, has fewer tourist attractions.
Eight areas in the country have been designated national parks, and the
landscape in these areas is afforded extra protection from development.
Several companies run flotillas of yachts along different stretches of
the coastline, which is also popular with divers.
The country is currently being advertised under the motto The Mediterranean As It Once Was.
Tourist Regions
The Croatian Tourist Board has divided Croatia into eight distinct tourist regions:
1: Istria
The peninsula of Istria has the best tourist infrastructure in Croatia.
Its west coast has several historical towns dating from Roman times,
such as Poreč (Euphrasian Basilica) and Pula (Amphitheater), surrounded
by large hotel complexes, resorts, camps and sports facilities. The
interior is quieter, very green and wooded, with dozens of tiny stone
towns perched on hills, such as Motovun. The island group of Brijuni is
a site of luxury tourism.
2: Kvarner & Highlands
This is probably the most varied region. The entire Kvarner gulf
provides striking sceneries, with tall mountains right next to the sea,
overlooking a dozen large islands. Tourist resorts range from Opatija
and Lovran, with their feel of Austro-Hungarian imperial decadence, to
the former Venetian island towns of Rab and Lošinj. The interior
regions Gorski kotar, Velebit and Lika have vast stretches of virginal
nature, with mountain peaks, forests and fields, many animal species
including bears, and the national parks of Plitvice Lakes and Risnjak.
3: Dalmatia - Zadar
This region is a yachting paradise. The Kornati National Park has
hundreds of mostly uninhabited islands. Aside from Zadar, a Roman town
with many monuments, there are many smaller coastal resorts. The
interior has mixed plains and mountains, with the impressive Paklenica
canyon as the main attraction.
4: Dalmatia - Šibenik
This is another popular yachting region, dotted with islands, and
centered around Šibenik and its famous cathedral. The interior has the
Krka National Park with its waterfalls.
5: Dalmatia - Split
The large islands of this region, which such pearls as the town of Hvar
or the resort of Bol, would be its main attraction if there was not the
city of Split and its unique Roman heritage, the Diocletian's Palace.
There is also the excellently preserved coastal town of Trogir.
6: Dalmatia - Dubrovnik
Probably the most famous Croatian site, the fortified city of Dubrovnik
is a breathtaking sight, but the region has numerous attractive
islands, ranging from the historical Korčula to the untouched forests
of Mljet. More...
7: Central Croatia
The most interesting part of this large region is the north, with the
old city of Varaždin and the hilly area of Zagorje, dotted with castles
and spas. The south has some natural highlights, such as the nature
park Lonjsko polje, where a historical site Jasenovac memorial area is
located. It covers the area of the former Nazi Jasenovac concentration
camp.
8: Slavonia
Tourism in this region is just developing, mostly with spas. The area
of Baranja has the national park of Kopački rit, a large swamp with an
incredible variety of fauna, especially birds. The cultural center is
the historical city of Osijek.
9: Zagreb
Like Prague or Budapest, Zagreb has a Central European feel to it, with
a large and well-preserved old town on the hill and a 19th-century city
center. The Croatian capital is also the country's largest cultural
center, with many museums and galleries.
