'Coolcationing' poses no threat to Adriatic coast, but could boost inland Croatia

Croatia is implementing various measures to manage its booming tourism sector, with a particular focus on mitigating the impact of visitors in popular coastal areas. In Split, a new ordinance restricts alcohol sales from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. in retail establishments between June 1 and September 15, aligning with the national Law on Trade.

While the trend of "coolcationing" – seeking cooler destinations during summer heatwaves – is not perceived as a threat to the Adriatic coast, it presents an opportunity for inland regions. Authorities believe areas like Lika and Gorski Kotar could see a significant boost in tourism if they can attract visitors seeking respite from the summer heat.
