I am from the area (not Croatian tho). Even if you look just at the map of the country you will realize that Croatia is basically mostly Mediterranean. As such tourism is very important for the region.
Having the same currency as your tourists (mostly people from the north, to a lesser extent people from the east and northeast) helps a lot.
Schengen helps also, but even before people could just drive there without noticing the border.
- plextoria 4y agoSchengen and Euro definitely put Croatia on my list of destinations. It’s much more comfortable to travel without having to bother with exchange rates. No passport control at the airport is also a nice bonus. I can’t describe that feeling when I travel to another country without going through border checks, it’s so liberating.
- senko 4y ago> Schengen helps also, but even before people could just drive there without noticing the border. Not during the summer. There were usually big queues at border crossings during every summer weekend. This should alleviate that a bit - the pressure will just move elsewhere in the road network, but will hopefully be easier to manage.
- virtualritz 4y agoI drove in and out of Croatia six times last summer always coming/going from Slovenia. Long queues and passport checks every time. So if what you say is true and you can drive without noticing the border there must be some bias. Possibly depending on which country of the Schengen zone you're entering Croatia from.
