OVER 90,000 TOURISTS VISIT CROATIAN 'KRKA' NATIONAL PARK

SIBENIK, Nov 17 (Hina) - More than 90,000 tourists have visited so far Croatia's "Krka" National Park (the Sibenik hinterland) in the first post-war tourism season, or one quarter of the total of visitors in the record 1989 year. "Our expectations have been met," the Krka administration's director Gorana Deljac Stipancev said on Sunday, adding that final results could have been better, had the weather been more favourable. A new ship transporting tourists from Skradin to Skradinski Cascade played an important role in boosting tourism services, she said. As of this year the National Park will open after the tourism season ends, because the interest of tourists does not abate during the winter, according to her. (hina) mš 171317 MET nov 96
