Opening of the new Zagreb airport

Planned for the transport of 5 million passengers per year, compared to 2.6 million in 2015, with a possibility of extension to accommodate up to 8 million passengers, the brand new terminal of the Franjo Tuđman Airport should enable Zagreb, currently the air transport hub of the national air carrier Croatia Airlines, to become a regional platform in the medium term. Designed by Croatian architects and built mainly by Croatian and French companies, the new Zagreb airport is the latest among major structural investment projects to support the modernisation efforts that Croatia has been undertaking in all fields of activity for two decades now.

More than 18 million tourists

With 18.5 million visitors and 102 million overnight stays registered in 2017, the Croatian tourist industry is breaking new records, and the 2018 season looks even more promising. Inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List and chosen for the shooting of the TV series Game of Thrones as well as for the seventh episode of the Star Wars saga, Dubrovnik alone registered more than a million visitors. The most popular destinations are the Croatian Adriatic coast (Istria and Dalmatia) with its thousand islands, eight sites recognized as the heritage of humanity, as well as the capital Zagreb and numerous national and natural parks throughout the country.
