Since the beginning of this year there were 45,387 guests arriving to Dubrovnik from the UK or 40% more. There were 226,483 nights, that is, 44% increase, which is a significant rise in numbers of guests from this market. There is a number of airlines from the British Isles with direct flights to Dubrovnik from all major cities, British Ariways, BMIBaby, Jet2com, ThomsonFly, WizzAir, EasyJet, and Monarch to name a few, which enormously facilitates travelling to the southernmost part of Croatia.

– The increase in numbers of guests means that they are interested in staying in Dubrovnik during winter and spring time as well. It is a result of numerous promotional campaigns, like Dubrovnik, the City for all Seasons on London city buses from November 2011, and British Holidays City Break, a campaign from February 2012 that Dubrovnik Tourist Board organized with its British partners and partly financed through Joint Advertising, says DTB.
