ZAGREB, Apr 2 (Hina) - The Croatian Board of Tourism (HTZ) on Friday
adopted a draft set of measures aimed at intensifying the promotion
of Croatia's tourist offer in Europe's tourist generating
countries, with emphasis on Croatia as a safe country outside war
conflicts.
NATO's air strikes against neighbouring Yugoslavia have had a
negative effect on Croatian tourism, as they have on tourist
business in other Yugoslav neighbours, but the situation is not yet
disastrous, members of the HTZ Tourism Council agreed at a
convention in Croatia's northern Adriatic seaside resort of
Opatija.
Foreigners opt for holidays in northern Adriatic resorts, while
most cancellations refer to Dubrovnik-Neretva County in southern
Croatia.
Tourist business during the Easter holidays will proceed as
planned, but bookings for the pre-summer season and the peak summer
season have already slowed down which, the HTZ representatives
believe, may again result in financial losses in tourism.
The German and Austrian markets are still reticent and waiting for
the outcome of the situation in Yugoslavia. Cancellations have
started coming from the Czech and Slovak markets, while in Great
Britain up to 30 inquiries regarding security in Croatia are
registered per day.
