18.08.2010
Croatia has a chance to make up for the results of last year. The demand for spending holidays in this country increased by 30%. The operators shared their conclusions concerning the season.
Alexander Kalinin, Deputy Head of Department of UAE, Croatia and Montenegro, Capital Tour:
- This season the demand for Croatia considerably increased, according to our estimates by 25% in comparison with last year. Besides, we note the profoundness of the sales: the tours for August were booked in May and June. So, we can’t now satisfy the increasing demand, as all the means of accommodation have been sold out.
Economical variants of the tours with 3* or 4* accommodation were on great demand. However, now when there are no a lot of variants people are ready to book any available options. I can name Porec and Tsar among the most popular places.
The average prices for the end of August to the beginning of September (price per person in DBL, HB): starting from 600 Euros in 3* hotel, from 650 Euros in 4* and from 1000 Euros in 5*.
