Wednesday, November 6, 2019

The Croatian Tourist Board (HTZ) is once again presenting Croatia’s tourism offering at the World Travel Market (WTM), which happens to be one of the largest tourism fairs in the world taking place from 4 to 6 November in London.

The Croatian delegation at the fair is led by Tourism Minister Gary Cappelli and HTZ Director Kristjan Stanicic, who met with representatives of important partners like Jet2.com & Jet2Holiday, easyJet, History Channel, SAGA and InkMedia during the first day of the fair. The Croatian stand was also visited by British Minister of State for Arts, Heritage and Tourism, Helen Whately.

Tourism Minister Gari Cappelli met with his counterparts in Cyprus, Albania, Spain, Greece and the United Kingdom.

“The UK Minister of State for Tourism expressed a positive attitude between the two countries and said that despite Brexit, there would be no great uncertainty in tourism developments. We aim to have 900,000 British tourists at the moment, and I believe we will already reach a record 1 million arrivals from the UK market in the term of this Government. We are also pleased with the positive effects of the activities carried out, which aimed at positioning Croatia as an airline destination, which is confirmed by 80 per cent of Britons arriving to our country by air,” said Minister Cappelli.

During the second day of the fair, the Croatian delegation will meet with representatives of Ryanair, Eurowings, TUI, and TTG.

Croatia has a 330-square-meter booth, located at a very attractive and visible position. The WTM World Tourism Exchange in London is a leading three-day event assembling key stakeholders from the global tourism industry and the travel sector regarding trends, challenges and innovations in tourism.
