Croatia National Geographic Adventure: Croatia
Destination of the Year 2006

The well-known American magazine National Geographic Adventure conducted a survey among its journalists and editors and proclaimed Croatia top destination in the world for 2006. On the list of destinations that "must be visited in the next year", the editors and journalists of the magazine voted Croatia and Kornati Archipelago in first place, in front of Patagonia in Argentina and the Gobi Desert in Mongolia.

National Geographic Adventure, the well-known magazine of the American National Geographic Society, aimed for active holiday lovers and adventure enthusiasts looking for parts of the world that offer adventure exploring of intact nature, published in its November issue an extensive article by John Bowermaster about Croatia. After its 640 km long paddling trip from Zadar to Dubrovnik, the journalist recommended the Kornati Archipelago as a unique place that must be visited. "The beauty of the islands is ragged and rough, cultivated but untamed", emphasized the journalist in his 10 page article accompanied by amazing photographs of Kornati, Mljet, Korcula and other highlights of the Croatian coast and islands.

After the war, tourism in Croatia started to develop intensively, said National Geographic Adventure. Centuries old cities such as Hvar, Korcula and Dubrovnik are packed with young and rich people, earning Croatia the right to be called the new Riviera. The famous American actor Tom Cruise visited Dubrovnik last year on his yacht. The Croatians are already used to celebrities visiting Croatia, such as the British Prince William and the American actor of Croatian origin John Malkovich. Nevertherless, Croatia offers much more than just sun and sea. "With Croatia back on the tourism map, a whole new range of travel options has sprung up, from cultural and culinary tours among the walled cities of the coast to climbing adventures on limestone sea cliffs, to specialized, clothing-free "naturist" excursions", emphasized Adventure.

The article along with exclusive video material and photographs of the above mentioned paddling trip has been published on the National Geographic site.
