Pelješac Bridge opens tourism to south of Croatia
15.08.2022
Currently, almost one million and 100 thousand tourists are staying in Croatia, of which about 942,000 are foreign.
Most of the tourists are from Germany, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria and the Netherlands.
A big jump in the number of tourists has been seen in parts of the Dubrovnik-Neretva County, since the opening of the new Pelješac Bridge. The number of tourists on the island of Korčula has also increased drastically as it is now considerably easier to reach the island by car.
"The number of guests has increased significantly on the entire island. The fact that the journey has been shortened and made easier has resulted in more tourists coming, there is a lot of pressure on the ferries from Orebić to Korcula, new lines have been introduced and larger ferries have been brought in,” said Miljana Borojević, the director of the Korčula Tourist Board.
