Of the 10 per cent of Croatians who have planned to go on holiday this winter, less than four per cent will stay in Croatia, while the remaining 250,000 have chosen a foreign country.
This year about 60 per cent of Croatians plan to go on holiday, while as many as 40 per cent have never and will never take a vacation outside of their hometown.
Seventy per cent of those who vacationed away from home in 2006 were residents of Zagreb or cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants. Sixty-six per cent were aged 15-34, of whom 68 per cent were not married and 65 per cent were employed.
Gfk concluded that going on vacation increases with the level of education and income, and that taking a holiday several times is gaining in popularity and is preferred by nearly one-fourth of adults.
The survey was conducted in late December and covered 1,000 people aged 15 and above.
