PRINT FEATURE

Journalist: Norman Wright is a long-term tourism journalist and regularly writes reports about various world destinations. He has visited Croatia and written articles about it on several occasions.

In his first report, in ‘Choice' magazine, the journalist shares his impression of Croatia, describing it as a destination that the British have rediscovered on account of its new high level of quality services. As he himself says, a couple of things have changed - the hospitality, sun, natural and cultural beauties have remained the same, it is very price competitive compared to other Mediterranean destinations, and a change to the positive is that much has been invested into the infrastructure (roads, air-connections, hotels). He toured Istria, Kvarner and Zagreb. In his second report, the journalist shares his experiences in Rab, Zadar and Split in a similar way.
