Tourism
It is not surprising that Croatia has become a touristic giant in the Mediterranean. With more than 1000 islands and a long coastline on the Adriatic Sea, the Croatian tourism sector is growing at an impressive rate.
Croatia’s FDI primarily relates to this sector, with not only investments relating to hotels and other touristic capacities, but also housing and commercial developments of entire micro-regions. However, a plethora of national and local regulations are a hurdle that can scare off even the bravest investors.
