And this year that could easily surpass 1,2 million, especially during the holidays, with Advent being given the title of the best in Europe last year. With cities such as Vienna and Salzburg as competition, that's very impressive. Additionally there'll be more events this December. A significant portion of those tourists actually do fly to Zagreb, especially with the increase of Asians, North Americans, Brits and Scandinavians. Also, hardly anyone will drive, or travel by bus to Zagreb from Holland, Belgium, Italy, or even Germany and Czech Republic in winter. Maybe Slovenia, Bosnia Austria and Hungary. I had expected 2,7 million pax this year, but at this point, I agree...2,75 mill is pretty much guaranteed.<br /><br />For those who asked about the Russians, the reason is that since we entered the EU, the Russians unfortunately need visas now for Croatia. I suspect that to be the main reason for lowered interest on their part for Zagreb, as opposed to some other destinations in the region.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06042227699160005576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-28401974958851851762016-10-10T00:25:59.708+02:002016-10-10T00:25:59.708+02:001.

Much easier to bring food, drinks, cigarettes etc. No, custom control.<br /><br />3. You are sure that you will not be scam because you are protected by law in all EU, that is if someone scams you in Croatia you can have legal procedure from your resident country. <br /><br />4. Much easier to bring business, for instance you can have Italian plate car in Croatian rent’a’car. Same thing with boat, plane…<br /><br />5. Can have property in Croatia almost without limitation. That is why lot of Germans, Hungarians, French… have houses or even small apartment business in Croatia. For sure that brings more people here (if they have property here they will come again)<br /><br />6. Standard is EU (quality of food, service, legal procedures, security, health…) what is very important for tourist, especially from EU, Japan, USA, South Korea, Canada, Australia…<br /><br />7. Image, when you are EU country people will rather go there than to some “banana” country (you must understand that most EU citisens think like that).<br /><br />8. Much easier to travel, especially for groups. For instance when I travel with my troop to Romania I go via Hungary, not to leave EU, because I don’t want to make all that paperwork (ata carnet etc) just to transit Serbia. So, I will do 200-300 more kilometers not to have administration problems.<br /><br />9. Easier for tourist and bus companies that are from EU to organize tripe. For example you can have driver from Croatia to drive your Polish bus inside Croatia. You can not have that in Serbia or Montenegro.<br /><br />10. You have tax benefits as company or even private person in Croatia if you are from EU.Purgernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-59711093542058967652016-10-09T23:45:17.845+02:002016-10-09T23:45:17.845+02:00They came really close to it and they had the supp...They came really close to it and they had the support of the airport and the city but they decided against it since the market wasn't as big as they hoped.

Serbian pass...@AnonymousOctober 9, 2016 at 7:52 PM<br /><br />Serbian passport holders need a passport and proof of income and reason of travel to any EU destination. <br /><br />Croatian ID is sufficient for travel with in the EU, and Croatians can work in much of the EU and don't need a proof of income to travel. UK, Netherlands and Slovenia still maintain moratorium on labour market access.<br /><br />Although most Croats if they go to work in the EU move to Scandinavia and Germany. <br /><br />Some go to Austria, France and Italy too. <br /><br />So when you try to equate Croatian passport holders with Serbia, please beware of these factors. And yes the EU played a significant boost to Croatians going overseas, most Croatian's aren't used to flying, most still prefer to use buses, trains and cars to get around, but habits are slowly changing. The EU membership helped in that trend. <br /><br />So this is what I am saying.

Overall Zagreb should handle around 2.75 million this year. <br /><br />October should be around 250k, November 190k and December 175k. Overall around 2.75 million.
