LJUBLJANA, Feb 6 (Hina) - Croatia is expecting at least a ten-percent-rise in tourist turnover this year. According to similar expectations, 2003 should be better even than the best pre-war 'normal' year - 1989- , the Croatian Tourist
Association (HTZ) head, Niko Bulic, said in Ljubljana on Tuesday . At a news conference at an Alpe-Adria fair in the Slovenian capital, Bulic told reporters that his country regarded Slovenia as a very important tourist market. The number of Slovenian holiday-makers who arrived in Croatia rose by 17 percent last year as against 1999. This increase was smaller in comparison to a climb in tourist arrivals from other countries, but it was so because of that Slovenian tourists were regular and stable guests during all war years and there were no oscillations in their number compared to the situation as regards guests from other countries, Bulic explained.

LJUBLJANA, Feb 6 (Hina) - Croatia is expecting at least a ten-
percent-rise in tourist turnover this year.
According to similar expectations, 2003 should be better even than
the best pre-war 'normal' year - 1989- , the Croatian Tourist
Association (HTZ) head, Niko Bulic, said in Ljubljana on Tuesday .
At a news conference at an Alpe-Adria fair in the Slovenian capital,
Bulic told reporters that his country regarded Slovenia as a very
important tourist market.
The number of Slovenian holiday-makers who arrived in Croatia rose
by 17 percent last year as against 1999. This increase was smaller
in comparison to a climb in tourist arrivals from other countries,
but it was so because of that Slovenian tourists were regular and
stable guests during all war years and there were no oscillations in
their number compared to the situation as regards guests from other
countries, Bulic explained.
Commenting on conditions for Croatia's tourism, he expressed hope
that first positive effects of the country's admission into the
World Trade Organisation would soon be visible in this economic
branch.
