Croatia holidays: Travellers 'eager to try new things'

Croatia sailing holidays could prove a popular option this year among travellers who, according to Cheapflights.co.uk, are becoming more willing to try new things.

The flight search engine predicted that trends for the coming year will be influenced by increasing flexibility and a growing sense of adventure within the travel community.

People interested in trying new activities can arrange a Croatia sailing trip that includes exciting experiences such as white-water rafting or hiking in the Biokovo mountains.

Commenting on the general state of the travel industry, Francesca Ecsery, global sales director for Cheapflights Media, said that the coming year looks set to be more positive than 2010.

"Things are really looking up for the new year: consumer confidence seems to be renewed as is the enthusiasm for getting away, particularly with this last bout of badweather, which has pushed many to go in search of sunny, bargain escapes," she said.

Another trend that could prove significant for people planning Croatia holidays and other trips this year is the ongoing growth of smartphones and applications that help travellers make the most of their adventures.
