One Of The Most Asked For Destinations On The Croatian Coast Is The Makarska Riviera In Central Dalmatia, With Its Clean Sea, Sun-Bathed Beaches And A Long-Standing Tourist Convention.

One of the most requested destinations on the Croatian coast is the Makarska in central Dalmatia, with its clean sea, sun-bathed beaches and an entrenched visitor tradition. Many travellers from Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) visit the area, either for a weekend or full holiday.

An article released in the local newspaper Makarska Riviera, penned by the newspaper’s editor in July, drew negative attention locally and regionally. The essay, titled Guests that are a Surplus by Ivo Corkovic, claims that “guests from BiH aren’t welcome as they do not spend sufficient cash, pollute the sea and just occupy space on the beaches”.

Initially the writer addresses the Problems in Croatian tourism generally, then turns attention to guests from BiH. Corkovic alludes to tourists from BiH as “an elementary disaster which, sadly, can’t be evaded or eliminated”.

The article drew negative public reaction on both sides of the border.

Croatia’s Ministry of Tourism reacted quickly to Corkovic’s article in a press release. “All guests are welcome to Croatia, without reference to their country of origin. There aren’t any first-class or 2nd class guests,” Minister of Tourism Damir Bajs claimed. The ministry’s official data states that BiH tourists are the second in number after German holiday makers on the Makarska Riviera.

Some BiH guests have complained that they are treated according to the quantity of cash they spend vacationing in Croatia.

“I propose to spend my monthly salary in Makarska. I do not think I’m cheap, a lot less that I pollute the beach or the sea, but I’m sour to be treated as a less significant tourist,” Stjepan Knezovic from Busovaca says.

Another BiH visitor, Amela Corbic from Sarajevo says, “My family has been coming for vacations in Croatia for years ; it’s a tradition (in our family). But this year I am going to go to Turkey. I would like to be respected for my cash, of which one gets far less in Croatia.”

Due to enormous media interest and public indignation over Corkovic’s article, Croatian President Ivo Josipovic told his reaction calling for equal treatment of Croatia’s visitors.

“Every guest is welcome in Croatia, especially our pals from BiH. Most folks don’t welcome guests according to the thickness of their wallets. Therefore , welcome dear folk from Bosnia and Herzegovina,” Josipovic recounted.
With Croatia’s holiday maker season at its peak, the country is fighting for every visitor and expectations run high from this season.

“As a town [Makarska] and country heavily relaying on [income from] tourism, they should not permit an individual opinion of one correspondent destroy their image, especially considering the [geographical] proximity of holiday makers from BiH to this area. The problem will have an economic reflection in Makarska this year, and years to come,” Mirza Mehmedovic, BiH communications expert, told SETimes.

BiH envoy to Croatia Vladimir Raspudic claimed that Corkovic’s article is offensive but indicated the position of one individual does not reflect the perspective of all.

“There is no doubt this article caused damage, nevertheless it expresses the position of one individual. I am expecting that local Makarska residents will have a lot to say to the writer of this truly unacceptable text, which does not make a contribution to the development of good relations between BiH and the Republic of Croatia,” writes tagza.com.
