Croatia was selected the best destination because of its positive image on the French market which contributed to this year's 70-percent rise in the number of French tourist arrivals in Croatia, the HTZ said.
According to estimates, some 500,000 tourists from France will visit Croatia this year.
Croatia was declared destination of the year (Voyage d'Or PRO-Destination de l'Annee) at the Top Resa business fair held in Deauville, France, last weekend.
