The main article reports a decrease in the number of tourists and overnight stays in Croatia in May 2025, with a particular focus on the high prices in Croatian tourism that do not correspond to the quality of service. Economic analyst Damir Novotny points out that prices in Croatia are too high compared to competing destinations such as Greece and Bavaria, which may negatively affect the arrival of German tourists, who are the most numerous in Croatia. He cites his stay in Bavaria where food and drink prices were significantly lower than in Croatia. Other articles are unrelated to the topic of tourism and prices in Croatia.
Political Perspectives:

Center: Center-leaning sources focus on the economic data and expert analysis, presenting a balanced view of the challenges faced by Croatian tourism due to international trends and pricing issues, while suggesting the need for competitive pricing and quality improvements to maintain tourist inflow.
Right: Right-leaning sources may emphasize the importance of market-driven pricing and the role of private investment in tourism infrastructure, possibly downplaying the negative impact of prices and focusing on the need for Croatia to maintain its premium tourism status and attract high-spending tourists.
