Do not make your slides look like this:U 2006. ostvareno je 4% više turističkih dolazaka i 3% više noćenja u odnosu na 2005., a procjenjuje se da će i noćenja i dolasci u sljedećem razdoblju rasti po godišnjoj stopi od 3 do 5%. Prihod od međunarodnog turizma iznosio je 7.31 milijardi USD za prvih devet mjeseci 2006.godine. Hrvatska raspolaže sa 101.925 postelja u hotelima i 363.282 u privatnom smještaju, 205.754 u kampovima i 50 marina s 15.407 vezova duž cijele obale. Prednosti su očuvana prirodna bogatstva i okoliš, kulturno i povijesno nasljeđe, blaga mediteranska klima i blizina europskih tržišta, te ekološki zaštićene destinacije. Hrvatski turistički proizvod poštuje autohtone regionalne specifičnosti, kroz različite oblike selektivnog turizma:nautički turizam, ronilački turizam, krstarenje na motornim jedrenjacima, turizam na seoskim domaćinstvima, itd.
