The Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia, as of August 2019, published statistical data on tourist traffic in Serbia.
Data on tourist traffic in Palić show that the total number of tourist arrivals and overnight stays significantly increased in 2019 compared to the previous year, 2018.
By comparing data for the four months considered the tourist season (May, June, July, and August), the total number of tourist arrivals increased by 11% in 2019. During these four months in 2019, 15,288 arrivals were recorded, compared to 13,750 tourist arrivals in 2018.
An even more significant increase was recorded in the total number of tourist overnight stays in 2019, rising by 23.5%. During the same four-month period, 29,430 overnight stays were recorded, compared to 23,866 in the same period in 2018. years.
A significantly greater increase in arrivals and overnight stays of domestic tourists compared to foreign tourists is noticeable.
These more than satisfactory results are the outcome of serious and long-term planning of tourism development in Palić by DOO Park Palić, the manager of the Palić tourist area.
Tourists have clearly taken notice of the continuous improvement and beautification of the shoreline of Lake Palić, the development and construction of promenades, the much higher-quality and more creative sports, entertainment, and hospitality offerings, the cultural and artistic programs at the Summer Stage, as well as many other supporting amenities that together create a comprehensive and rich tourism offer in Palić.
We certainly must not forget congress tourism, which is experiencing strong growth in Palić, thanks to the beautiful and functional facilities of the Grand Terrace, the Summer Stage, and the Eco Center.
With the construction of the Aqua Park in 2020 at the Men’s Strand, an influx of an even greater number of tourists is expected, both domestic and from countries in the region.
Alongside investments in the tourism offer, significant attention is also being given to infrastructure development in Palić, as one of the key prerequisites for further tourism growth and new investments.
There is excellent cooperation with national and provincial authorities, which have recognized Palić’s great potential as a tourist destination, as well as the efforts of DOO Park Palić to turn that “great potential” into great success.
