Getting two Travvy awards in the category of Best Mediterranean Destination and European Tourism Organization is a great overture to 2022. This recognition by leading industry experts certainly gives us new momentum and is proof of the hard work, dedication and overall efforts of the Croatian National Tourist Board and our tourism colleagues from across the country to present Croatia in the best light and as a destination that will successfully attract American visitors in the future", said Rodin

With very good tourist traffic results from the American market this year and the introduction of two direct flights on the route New York - Dubrovnik, these awards are an additional confirmation of the excellent position that our country enjoys on the tourist map of the world.
