Great job. Keep up the good work, Zagreb!
ReplyDelete3,1 million is real number for 2017, 3,5 for 2018.
ReplyDeleteSounds about right.
DeleteNot really happy with ZAG airport, we had to wait for 30 minutes for our luggage to arrive and we were the only aircraft on the apron at that time!!!
ReplyDeleteI got mine in 5 minutes....there's nothing to be "happy" or "sad" about, it's an airport like all others in the world, sometime you win, sometime you loose..
DeleteExactly. You can't make judgement based on one bad experience.
DeleteBravo Hrvatska!
ReplyDeleteExcellent pic!
ReplyDeleteNext year, Air Transat A330-300 instead of a A330-200
ReplyDeleteDon't forget they're adding Montreal to test the market. If it proves a success, they'll add Montreal in 2019, serving Toronto and Montreal, or just Montreal, as I think daily Toronto flights are bit too much.
DeleteSo Croatian tourist arrivals are impressive for 2017.
ReplyDeleteLatest Croatian tourist data is impressive.
https://www.htz.hr/sites/default/files/2017-11/Turisti%C4%8Dka%20statistika%20-%20listopad%202017..pdf
Croatia - 17.85 million visitors,
Zagreb - 1.09 million
Croatia - Nights: 100.4 million
Zagreb - Nights: 1.99 million
Croatia will most likely have 18.4 million visitors this year, 103 million nights and tourism revenue exceeding €11 billion. 2018 looks set to be also just as good, perhaps 21 million visitors, 110 million nights and Tourism revenue of €12 billion. Number of non-EU/European visitors is also impressive. Nearly 500 000 US Visitors, over 400 000 South Korean visitors, over 150 000 Chinese visitors, over 200 000 Australian visitors, over 60 000 Brazilian and 54 000 Indians visitors.
Zagreb numbers are also very good, Zagreb will have over 1.3 million arrivals in 2017, November - 1.2 million and December could be 1.35 million with 2.4 million nights. Zagreb has capacity of around 3.5 million nights. this includes all types of accommodation, including Airb&b.
Without Arib&b, capacity is around 3.2 million, without Hostels, 50 of them, capacity drops down to 2.55 million.
I'd say by 2020, there should be at least several new mid sized hotels, 5-6 at least. Just to cope with the demand. 80 hotels by 2025 is a must, with 7-8 million nights capacity overall.
