Really? How was it where you were? Hvar Town was slightly up, but the rest of the island down for sure. Any insights from Istria, other islands, the coast?

I don't have any numbers but I am sure tourism was up on last year, but the big question is, was the numbers of bodies in beds per night up from last year?

crojoe - that number has gone up every year since the inspectors started getting good at catching people who don't register their tourists...! Its got nothing to do with money into the local economy, its just how many 1 euro per night taxes were paid.

Carol, such a cynic!

So who much is the tourist tax?

our village was booked solid all summer until middle of sept in Dalmatia. We shut down but there were still booking requests because of the nice weather.
