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.
