The Kaštela Tourist Board is recording a positive trend in the number of guests in 2025, although it can be said that some months in the post-season have failed, such as December. Last year, Kaštela was visited by over 137 thousand guests, most of them from Germany, Poland and Great Britain, and the number of domestic guests has also increased.
- This year 2025, as far as tourism is concerned, also started turbulently. Namely, at the beginning of 2025, the announcements were not promising, and the security and economic situation in Europe and the world was unpredictable. However, in the pre-season, both announcements and guest arrivals started. The final results in arrivals and overnight stays and the comparison with 2024 were positive - said the director of the Kaštela Tourist Board Nada Maršić.
