A total of 14.7 million tourist overnight stays have been recorded, which is approximately 59 percent of last year’s result.
Of the total number of arrivals, foreign tourists accounted for 1.8 million (51 percent of last year’s result) and 12.5 million overnight stays (56 percent of last year’s result), while domestic tourist traffic is at 90 percent of last year’s traffic measured by arrivals and 78 percent of the level in overnight stays.
In the current part of July, the leading market for arrivals is Germany, from where 92 percent of last year’s result has been achieved, followed by Slovenia with 91 percent and Poland and the Czech Republic with around 82 percent of last year’s result measured by arrivals in the same period.
