Sažetak
COVID-19 pandemic outbreak caused slowdown of global tourism performance already in March 2020, followed by freefall in second quarter amid worldwide travel restrictions and lockdowns. Tourism as the most important industry in Croatia has been seriously affected by pandemic related travel restrictions, with hotels facing the most serious decline year-on- year. Usually tourists can autonomously choose where to travel and in other recent crisis events dominantly only some specific areas were affected. During this pandemic there are no unaffected areas, but some regions and accommodation types are more resistant than the others. Lower number of confirmed COVID-19 cases and gradual reopening of Croatia in summer months enabled partial rebound of tourism results in the country, however August brought new slowdown of foreign arrivals of such magnitude that higher number of domestic nights spent were not sufficient to compensate severe drop of tourist arrivals coming from other important tourism markets. The goal of this paper is to analyse impact of COVID-19 pandemic on recent tourism results in Croatia, with breakdown by accommodation type, most important markets and local sub-regions. Analysis of different outcome depending on this breakdown should indicate causes of more resistant areas and lead to some recommendations for advanced destination management.
