Croatia is recognized as a safe destination to travel in 2021.
Due to its good epidemiological situation, Croatia was recognized as a safe destination last year, and safety continues to be the focus in 2021. In addition to the already known World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) Safe Travels label on the market, a national label called Safe stay in Croatia has been designed as an important element in establishing Croatia safe and desirable destination. It is also intended as an incentive for all stakeholders in the travel chain – from gas stations to airports and ferries, hotels, marinas, private apartments, museums, and other attractions, to continue adhering to epidemiological measures.
The WTTC created the Safe Travel label in 2020 to help travelers identify destinations and companies worldwide that have adopted global health and hygiene standards. Croatia has had the Safe travels Label since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Safe stay in Croatia label and the Safe Travel label are awarded to stakeholders from the Croatian tourism sector. Others who are part of the industry chain, such as carriers, airports, stations, nautical ports, and marinas, and who register in the system, display the official authorization that confirms and guarantees compliance with and implementation of current health and safety recommendations of the Croatian Institute of Public Health.
Compliance is checked at three levels. A periodic and unannounced inspection of the implementation of safety protocols is carried out by representatives of the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, professional associations in tourism. Visitors are also welcome to submit comments via e-mail to prijave.safestay@mints.hr or this website.

„You are what you eat “
What Croatia is famous for is its excellent gastronomy. The Mediterranean diet on the Croatian Adriatic, its coastline, and the islands is another factor why Croatia is a desirable destination. The Mediterranean diet is known to be one of the healthiest. Since 2010 the Mediterranean diet is on the UNESCO list of protected intangible heritage.
It is the diet that is best known and most studied. It is a set of eating habits traditionally followed by people living in the Mediterranean area.
Lots of fish, chard, garlic, tomatoes, goat cheese, olive oil, all this makes Mediterranean cuisine healthy. As the food is primarily a pleasure for most people, it seems that health is not the cause of this cuisine's popularity, but the fact that it proves that something healthy can be above average delicious, all with simple and fast cooking. A glass of quality red vine after a meal is recommended.
The Mediterranean diet on the Croatian Adriatic, its coast, islands, and part of the hinterland is conditioned by ecological, climatic, historical, and cultural factors of the Mediterranean. This type of diet, as in other countries in the Mediterranean, is manifested in Croatia in the social, spiritual, and material spheres of everyday life, and in the customs of the life and annual cycle, is the foundation of the identity of people living in that area. It`s a legacy, which is continuously transmitted from generation to generation.
