The number of overnight stays in tourist accommodation, which reflects both the length of stay and the number of visitors, is considered a key indicator for tourism statistics…
Zadar, situated on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, has achieved 1 million overnight stays in record time. On 11 August 2016 Zadar recorded its 1 millionth overnight stay for the year, 6 days ahead of when it achieved the milestone last year.

Earlier this year Zadar was awarded the title of Best European Destination 2016 after beating the likes of Athens, Paris, Milan, Prague, Rome, Vienna and Madrid in an online vote, and the promotion it gained has seemed to have an effect.
