Sažetak
This study extends the recent work of Payne et al. (2021) with respect to the changes in the persistence and seasonality inherent in the Croatian tourism sector in light of the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. First, we differentiate between the changes in persistence and seasonal behavior with respect to domestic and foreign tourist arrivals and overnight stays. Second, with nearly 90 percent of the Croatian tourism sector tied to the seven counties along the Adriatic coast, we investigate the differential regional impact on persistence and seasonal behavior. Our results indicate the disruption was much more prominent for foreign tourist arrivals and overnight stays relative to domestic tourist arrivals and overnight stays with respect to the increased persistence associated with the onset of the pandemic, while the seasonal autoregressive component was reduced.
