TOURISM SATELLITE ACCOUNT FOR THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA, 2019

The Croatian Bureau of Statistics publishes the results of the calculation of the economic importance of tourism for the Republic of Croatia in accordance with the methodology for the Tourism Satellite Account. The Tourism Satellite Account is used to estimate the direct economic contribution of tourism to the national economy.

The most important results derived from the Tourism Satellite Account are presented, that is, the values of internal tourism consumption, inbound tourism expenditure, domestic tourism expenditure, gross value added of tourism industries, tourism direct gross value added and tourism direct gross domestic product in 2019.

Detailed tables of the Tourism Satellite Account with Notes on Methodology can be downloaded on the link Statistics In Line.

It is estimated that internal tourism consumption in 2019 amounted to 91 724 million kuna (table 1.) of which other components of tourism consumption amounted to 2 081 million kuna, or 2.27% of internal tourism consumption, while internal tourism expenditure in 2019 amounted to 89 642 million kuna, or 97.73% of internal tourism consumption.

Inbound tourism expenditure accounted for 86.98% (77 968 million kuna) of internal tourism expenditure, while domestic tourism expenditure accounted for 13.02% (11 674 million kuna) of internal tourism expenditure.

It is estimated that inbound tourism expenditure in 2019 amounted to 77 968 million kuna (table 2.), of which tourism expenditure of non-resident tourists, that is, visitors who spent at least one night in Croatia, amounted to 73 305 million kuna, or 94.02% of inbound tourism expenditure.

Tourism expenditure of non-resident same-day visitors (excursionists) amounted to 4 662 million kuna, or 5.98% of inbound tourism expenditure (table 2.).

It is estimated that domestic tourism expenditure in 2019 amounted to 11 674 million kuna (table 3.), of which the tourism expenditure of resident visitors on domestic trips amounted to 9 923 million kuna, or 85.00% of domestic tourism expenditure. The tourism expenditure of resident tourists on domestic trips accounted for 73.39% (7 283 million kuna) of the tourism expenditure of resident visitors on domestic trips, while the tourism expenditure of resident same-day visitors accounted for 26.61% (2 640 million kuna).

The gross value added of tourism industries in 2019 amounted to 82 840 million kuna (table 4.). The gross value added of tourism industries accounted for 24.41% of the total gross value added realised in 2019. Following the calculation of the tourist share in the production for each of the tourism industries and other industries, the tourism direct gross value added has been calculated. It amounted to 38 509 million kuna in 2019 and accounted for 11.35% of total gross value added. The tourism direct gross domestic product in 2019 amounted to 48 739 million kuna and its share in total gross domestic product amounted to 11.82%.

Tourism ratio (the ratio of the internal tourism consumption and the total supply of goods and services) in 2019 amounted to 0.0948, that is, 9.48% of the total supply of goods and services were used to meet tourist demand.
