BOL ON BRAC, May 2 (Hina) - Croatia is a safe country for
vacationing, Croatian Tourism Minister Ivan Herak told some 50
foreign reporters at a news conference in Bol on the island of Brac
Sunday.
The reporters are spending several days in Croatian tourist
destinations.
Pula is 1,000 kilometres from Pristina in Kosovo, Split 700km, and
the southernmost locations 500km away, he said.
Unfortunately, tourist markets in the world, under the influence of
the Kosovo crisis, are placing this whole region into the same
'bin', which partially results in fear from vacationing on the
Croatian coast.
We thus expect you, now that you have got acquainted with the
factual situation, to assist us and relay the truth to the people of
your countries about the safety of vacationing in Croatia.
Croatia is completely safe for holidays, which you can see for
yourselves, and which is guaranteed by the Croatian Government,
Herak told the reporters.
Croatia has natural beauty, cultural heritage and people who can
bring Croatian tourism into the top of global tourist destinations,
Herak said.
He confirmed the privatisation of Croatian tourism was one of the
issues soon to be resolved, as well as that the Croatian Government
has prepared plans to reduce the effects of NATO intervention in
Kosovo on Croatian tourism.
