Croatia has been described as the sailing boat paradise. Croatian gorgeous landscapes, marinas, clean and well-kept beaches, hospitality, summer and winter resorts, excellent food, beautiful campsites, friendly people and plenty of cultural sights, rich history and the right blend of the past and the present attract most tourists in the summer.

Most tourists know that the mild Mediterranean climate will make their stay in the Adriatic resorts just as pleasant, or perhaps even more so, in the off season, in spring or autumn.

Croatian winter tourism has not jet made full use of the huge natural potential. The ski centres of Gorski Kotar, Delnice, Mrkopalj, Bjelolasica and Platak are only a couple of dozen miles away from the sea. There are good game preserves in both the continental and coastal areas.

Croatia has several thermal and mineral springs. The spas are most numerous in the continental part of Croatia: Varazdinske Toplice, Tuheljske Toplice, Stubicke Toplice, Krapinske Toplice, Lipik, Bizovacke Toplice, Daruvarske Toplice, Topusko and so on. On the coast there are health resorts in Umag, Opatija, Crikvenica, Veli Losinj, Hvar, Makarska, Vela Luka and in the Istria - Istarske Toplice.

Known as a tourist country, gaining importance as a business partner, Croatia plays host to over three hundred international conventions in its congress centres. Every major city offers all the facilities for professional conventions, with the ideal combination of business and pleasure.

After all, tourism in the modern sense began in Croatia in the 19th century.
