“The majority of flights have been announced for the second half of June and early July to the airports in Split and Dubrovnik as well as Zadar, Pula, Zagreb and Rijeka. Even though the major portion of tourism turnover is realised by car, nevertheless over the past few years Croatia has positioned itself as an aviation destination, which is particularly important now when we have to fight our way onto the tourism market with our offer, safety and accessibility,” HTZ director Kristjan Satnicic underlined.
