In the run-up to the peak summer season, Croatia is strengthening its reputation as a safe and well-prepared destination with the launch of a new digital tool designed to support visitors across Dalmatia.
The “Safe in Dalmatia” platform was presented at a conference in Split titled “Security as the foundation of a quality tourist destination”.
The event brought together regional authorities and police representatives, highlighting the importance of safety in maintaining Croatia’s global tourism appeal.
Developed as part of the Digital Dalmatia initiative, the platform offers visitors fast and simple access to essential safety information without the need to download an app.
By scanning a QR code, users can access emergency contacts, practical advice and key service locations, including police stations, pharmacies and tourist offices.
The platform also provides multilingual support, with plans to introduce two-way communication in the future, allowing users to interact directly with services if needed.

County Prefect Blaženko Boban highlighted that safety remains one of the main reasons behind the region’s tourism success.
He noted that while the area is renowned for its natural beauty and coastline, it is the high level of safety that truly sets it apart.

The new platform, he added, enables both tourists and residents to access key information within seconds, further strengthening confidence and reinforcing the region’s reputation as a secure destination.
Croatia’s Minister of Tourism and Sport, Tonči Glavina, stressed that safety has become a decisive factor when travellers choose their destination, particularly in times of global uncertainty.

He pointed out that Croatia has adapted its tourism strategy to focus on safety, accessibility and quality, with continued investments in healthcare and security systems, including additional emergency medical teams and tourist clinics.
Project lead Damir Brčić explained that the platform was created in response to real needs on the ground.
Whether dealing with lost documents, seeking emergency assistance or navigating unfamiliar surroundings, users can access all relevant information in one place via the website or QR code.
