Tourist authorities satisfied with summer season

Description:

Croatian Tourism Minister Damir Bajs has said Croatia can be satisfied with its current situation in regard to tourism.
According to Bajs, Croatia has fared better this summer season than many other Mediterranean countries.
Bajs said that the number of tourists had declined by seven per cent and the number of tourist overnights had declined by three per cent in the first six months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.
Bajs added the past weekend, when the country hosted 85,000 more tourists than on the same weekend last year, had been very significant.
Croatian tourism should benefit a lot from the traditional Italian vacation period called  "feragosto" in August, Bajs said.
Bajs added, however, that he was aware there would be fewer foreign tourists in Croatia this year and his goal was to make the decline in their numbers as small as possible.
