Small family-run accommodation providers across Croatia are raising the alarm over a proposed new Tourism Law that they say could devastate their livelihoods. The legislation, currently under review, introduces changes to categorisation and permit requirements that smaller operators warn are unworkable.
According to reports, the new rules would impose stricter standards on private accommodation, potentially forcing many small hosts to shut down or sell. Critics argue that the law disproportionately affects family-run businesses that lack the resources to meet the new demands.
The tourism sector is a cornerstone of Croatia’s economy, with private accommodation accounting for a significant share of visitor stays. Industry representatives are calling for a more balanced approach that protects small providers while maintaining quality standards.
As the debate continues, small hosts are urging the government to reconsider the proposals, warning that the changes could leave many stranded and undermine the very fabric of Croatian tourism.
