Croatia records great marketing success in the most fastidious German tourist market thanks to individual German newspapers with great readership, which dedicate a lot of attention and inform millions of their readers about the wonders of Croatia and its magical Adriatic coast.

Venice-style cities, bays and coves like in the Caribbean and more islands than in the Maldives, this is Croatia which is currently the most wanted destination for the rich and famous, also a trendy tourist country which offers something for everyone.

As a country of the Mediterranean, Croatia can boast with its market liberalism, because it allows foreigners to buy real estate on the coast under the same conditions as Croatian citizens. The real estate market liberalisation is a condition for Croatia`s European Union accession. Until now, red tape was in effect, and foreigners had a hard time purchasing real estate. Only a few famous world stars purchased real estate in this country, like Steven Spielberg, who bought an entire island in Croatia.

Germany prefer Croatia, since it has been their destination for many years

Real estate market liberalisation should thrill big stars, because all of Hollywood is mad about

Croatia. Thus, instead of in St. Barth or the Azure coast, more and more esteemed persons come to Croatia for their holiday, including Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones, Katie Holmes and John Malkovich, who does his shopping in Dubrovnik.

It is high time you met the magic of Croatia and travel along its magical tourist pearls, Bild paper writes, publishing 15 attractive photos of alluring gems like Brac, Korcula, Opatija, Pula, Krk, Plitvice Lakes, Vis, Dubrovnik, Peljesac peninsula and other Croatian hot spots.

This extraordinary advertisement in the most important touristic market for Croatia might play a key role this year in the realisation of a good season and is surely wind in the back of Croatian tourism, faced with disloyal competition in the time of recession. Still, the Germans and their media give advantage to Croatia as their favourite destination.

Will this be the case with travel agent bookings, it is yet to be seen.
