Tourism in the Republic of Croatia plays an important role in the overall economy and development. Thanks to tourism, Croatia is strengthening its economic growth, employment opportunities and recognition on the world market. In order to come to certain data and to be able to draw conclusions, it is necessary to involve several scientific branches. In this work, in order to reach the required conclusions, some of the statistical indicators in tourism were used. One of the factors for which the indicators are calculated is the tourist. Data on arrivals of foreign guests in the period from 2009 to 2019 and calculated averages indicate that the number of arrivals of foreign tourists is growing from year to year, and the most numerous are German tourists, followed by tourists from Slovenia, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic , Poland, the Netherlands, France, Hungary and Slovakia. Istria County is the most visited and has the most overnight stays, followed by Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Split-Dalmatia County, Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Zadar County, etc. Among the continental counties, the city of Zagreb and Karlovac County can be included among the competitors in the Primorje counties. The next analyzed indicator of statistics in tourism is accommodation capacities. Given the specific structure of tourist accommodation capacities in Croatia, which is dominated by growing family accommodation, with a small share of hotel accommodation and different habits of tourists in terms of length of stay in certain accommodation facilities, it can already be concluded that Croatian tourism is based on private rentals. , but facilities such as hotels, camps and campsites, which are the most numerous in Istria, also stand out. In terms of overnight stays, in recent years stays in camps and camps have been between 6 and 7 days, spas from 6 to 10 days, hostels between 2 and 4 (with the number of stays falling to 2 days in the last few years), in households between 5 and 7 days and in hotels between 2 and 4 days. Istria County was analyzed in more detail, where most cities are oriented towards tourism, but the processing industry, fishing, trade, construction, agriculture and transport have also been developed. Tourists stay in Istria on average between 6 and 7 days, and the key market is Germany, which is then followed by tourists from Slovenia and Austria. According to data from 2017, it is stated that Istria has the most accommodation units in Croatia and that the largest representation of Istria in camps is 38%, 32% in households and 30% in hotels. In Istria, Russians stand out with the number of nights spent in hotels, Germans in households, while the Dutch spend the longest time in camps. The presented statistical indicators indicate the level of development of Croatian tourism with regard to arrivals, overnight stays and accommodation capacities and enable the identification of advantages and disadvantages with regard to factors and geographical distribution of tourists by counties, which can serve in developing Croatian tourism strategy.
