    The decrease in tourism isn’t unexpected. Croatia is overpriced and people are unfriendly. So the tourist from northern Europe left for other destinations. Left are the tourists from eastern Europe and countries like Poland who spend less, brings their own food to the beach and rent only cheap apartments. Neither can Croatia compete with any real beaches and both food and wine is terrible.
