Tourism in Herceg-Neretva Canton grows despite hundreds of wildfires during the season

Konjic · started August 14, 2026 at 2:08 PM · last changed 2d ago

Summary

The canton faces nearly 900 wildfires this year, with about 400 during peak tourist season since mid-June, damaging landscapes and occasionally blocking roads. Despite these challenges, tourist arrivals nearly tripled from last year's 39,982 to 98,224 this summer, with overnight stays rising from 79,132 to 223,842, a surge the ministry attributes partly to better registration of accommodation.
