President Stjepan Mesic, under whose auspices the event was held,
said that the association had done a lot in connecting the youth in
Croatia with the world, and that it was a forerunner of European
integration, which was what Croatia aspired towards today.
In the first nine months of this year, Croatian youth hotels and
hostels registered 75,000 visitors, which is a 28 percent increase
on last year. The number of overnight stays increased by 22 percent
to 321,700.
