The representative office of the Croatian Tourist Board in France participated in the largest tourist fair in France, the Salon Mondial du tourisme, which took place in Paris together with the Destinaton Nature fair. In addition to the HTZ Representative Office in Paris, the Croatian tourist offer was presented by the Split-Dalmatia Tourist Office, the Šibenik-Knin Tourist Office, the Zadar Tourist Office, the Dubrovnik Tourist Office and the National Park of Krka.

Due to the great interest of the French partners, the HTZ representative office also organized a SELL Croatia workshop for over 60 French travel organizers and travel agencies, and the Croatian stand was visited by Senka Burić, chargé d'affaires of the Embassy of the Republic of Croatia in France and Davor Dujić, adviser for economic affairs of the Embassy of the Republic of Croatia in France. The workshop was attended by the airlines Croatia Airlines, Transavia and Volotea, numerous hoteliers such as Maista, Falkenstainer, Hilton and agencies from almost all parts of Croatia such as Feral Tours, Adriatic, Elite Travel, Amathus, Zzuum Active Vacation, etc.
The French showed significant interest in the Croatian tourist offer, and the Croatian stand with recognizable motifs of Croatian regions was one of the most visited at the fair.


"Participating in the Salon Mondial du tourisme served as an excellent basis for further highlighting Croatia and its tourist attractions in France, which is already traditionally one of our most loyal broadcasting markets. We are pleased with the excellent representation of the Croatian tourist offer in numerous package arrangements of the largest and most important French tour operators and travel agencies, as well as the spread of interest in the introduction of new regular air routes. Further growth of specialized offers with an emphasis on eno-gastronomy, business, cultural and nautical tourism will surely serve as an additional motive for the arrival of the French in Croatia," said Danijela Mihalić Đurica, director of the Croatian Tourist Board's Representative Office in Paris.
By the way, the Croatian tourist offer is represented in numerous French media publications that confirm the interest in traveling to our country, such as the publication in the prestigious magazine Femme Actuelle in which Dubrovnik, Zlatni Rat and Plitvice Lakes and Krka National Park are presented, as well as the publication about Lošinj on the GEO travel portal which is visited by over 3 million users per month.
Arrivals and overnight stays from this important broadcasting market are constantly increasing, and the French are increasingly turning to nearby and attractive destinations, among which is Croatia. The popularity of Croatia in France is also confirmed by data from the eVisitor system, according to which we have achieved a 54 percent increase in overnight stays from the French market so far compared to the record year 2019.
