The Croatian National Tourist Board is in talks with airlines to provide better connectivity between the United States and Croatia. The Board has met with Turkish Airlines USA, headed by General Manager Emre Ismailoglu, during which possibilities to further increase the flow of US tourists to Croatian destinations was discussed. Furthermore, talks with Turkish were held over joint campaigns and events, and the introduction of new flights to Croatia with an emphasis on the pre- and post-peak summer travel season.
“We are extremely pleased with the excellent response from Croatian as well as American tourist entities, which in turn confirm the growth of our country’s popularity among American travel enthusiasts. We successfully maintained, and, I would say, further strengthened our position on this market.
I believe in the continuation of the positive and upward trend, and since it is a distant market, we will focus most of our attention and activities on strategic cooperation with airlines and tour operators in order to make our country as accessible as possible to Americans”, the Director of the Croatian National Tourist Board in New York, Leila Krešić Jurić, said. United is the only nonstop operator between the United States and Croatia, maintaining seasonal summer flights between Newark and Dubrovnik, which will be restored on May 26 with its Boeing 767-300ER aircraft.
