Would be interested in some input into this from people who know more about tourism numbers. I would have assumed that of the three Cro would be far, far ahead of the others, with Montenegro a distant second and Albania nowhere to be seen. Getting accurate stats in this region is impossible, and things are no doubt counted in different ways, but (from Anna's blog post in July for the first 6 months)Overall, 3,228,401 tourists came to Croatia in the first half of 2011, which is an increase of 11% on the same period last year. Of this number, 518,776 were domestic tourists – up 6% on 2010, which is a decent upturn after some wobbles for this particular group. The number of foreign tourists visiting the country, meanwhile, rose by 12%
Montenegro posted their first 8 month results as did Albania www.suite101.com/news/montenegro-tourism-up-53-albania-passes-3-million-visitors-a391143with Albania passing 3 million and Montenegro just scraping over a million. Appreciate that Croatia's numbers in peak season are going to be significant, but was surprised at how many were going to Albania compared to Monte and Cro. Thoughts? Anyone have the stats for Cro for first 8 months? cheers Paul |

I go to Croatia and Montenegro almost every summer. I was there this summer and did not see nowhere near the tourist that is usually there. I do not know where they are getting their numbers but I did not see it

On thing that pollutes the numbers could be the bloody cruise ships where tourists swarm ashore in groups of 50 and run down everybody else for a couple of hours before they leave again without having spent money.

Croatia has an impressive history, a fact that is best explained through the vast array of sites worth visiting. Most towns have an historical center with its typical architecture. There are differences between the coast and the continental part, so both areas are a must. The most famous is Dubrovnik, a prime example of the coastal architecture, but by no means the only one worth visiting. Equally important is the capital and largest city, Zagreb, with a population of about 1 million. It is a modern city with all the modern features, yet it has a laid back feel. In the east, in the region of Slavonija with it's regional capital Osijek and the war torn Vukovar are awe inspiring. Scattered throughout the region are vineyards and wine cellars, most of which give tours and tastings. Just to correct a little stat, and that is Zagreb's city population in 2011 was 686,568. If you include Zagreb County then the number is 1,110,517 people. |

I was wondering how we lost 100.000 people in 10 years but for some reason they didn't include Sesvete and many other smaller parts of Zagreb into the "city". Now why is that, when they have the same mayor, they should be counted? |

Now why is that, when they have the same mayor, they should be counted? Maybe 100,00 went missing through migration, or no longer registering in two locations or maybe the census people finally did their job and actually counted real human beings. Remember, the last census was years ago and I know they didn't count my family. Sesvete is zone 5 according to Zagreb Parking. Hehe! |

Removed helal34's post. Not sure what they're trying to do but that's the second time they've posted the exact same slightly random blurb about Croatia. Perhaps this person's forgotten to post the actual link they're trying to spam?  |

I have already found the reason: www.dzs.hr/Hrv/censuses/census2011/htm/H11_Zup11_0000.htmlThe area I considered "City of Zagreb" was everything inside of Zagreb county and it has grown a little to almost 800.000, it includes Sesvete and other smaller populated areas. |

It isn't just the census people, it's the mentality of the people in general. My OH hasn't lived in Croatia for over 16 years (never as an adult in fact) yet her mum names her as being there 'because she hasn't got any other address in Croatia'  |
