Tourist destinations on the Makarska Riviera, where there are more than 5,500 guests in the off-season, mostly foreigners, are successfully concluding the main part of the tourist season.
With good pre-season business and a smaller absence of tourists at the beginning of July, when additional efforts were made, the continuation of summer and September significantly enhanced the tourist performance and made this year’s season better than last year’s.
In the resorts from Brela to the municipality of Gradac, according to data from the Split-Dalmatia County Tourist Board and tourist offices from the Makarska Riviera, in the first nine months of this year, there were 684,775 domestic and foreign tourists who achieved 4,745,504 overnight stays.
During this period, the Makarska Riviera recorded 8 percent more guests than last year, and the number of overnight stays in all types of accommodation facilities was 8 percent higher than until the end of September last year.
Foreigners, numbering 641,615 or 7 percent more than last year, achieved 4,500,826 overnight stays in the resorts of the Makarska Riviera, which is 6 percent more than in the first nine months of last year.
