Summary
Tourism Minister Tonči Glavina said Croatia’s tourism sector should lower prices this season, warning current pricing no longer matches what many visitors can afford.
Global economic pressure and weaker disposable income are making tourists more price-sensitive, he said, limiting Croatia’s ability to keep raising rates without losing competitiveness.
Accommodation providers, restaurants and other operators were urged to make pricing "corrections" across the tourism chain to keep demand from shifting to rival Mediterranean destinations.
The warning adds to a wider Croatian debate over years of rising tourism prices and fears the country is becoming less affordable than competing holiday markets.
