Baltic Travel Company Shares Insight Into Dubrovnik’s Award-Winning Travel Status
Sep 18, 2026
Baltic Travel Company highlights Dubrovnik, Croatia’s growing global appeal
Richmond, England, United Kingdom, September 18, 2026 -- The Baltic Travel Company, a travel specialist offering tailor-made holidays across the Nordic, Baltic and Balkan regions, have noted how Dubrovnik’s status as one of the leading travel destinations has been reinforced following the World Travel Awards 2025. The city received three separate awards, having previously been recognised in 2021, 2023 and 2024.
Growing interest from travellers in the historic Adriatic city has been on an upward trend for some time, with the independent firm organising cultural, experiential holidays that differ from conventional beach holidays, often with guided tours, exclusive excursions and a mixture of pre-planned activities and free time to explore.
How Dubrovnik Has Become a High-Demand Destination for Global Travellers
Commenting on the city’s success, the Baltic Travel Company team believe this reflects Dubrovnik’s combination of historic architecture, Mediterranean scenery, cultural landmarks, and the beaches and sea of the Adriatic coastline, offering something for guests of all ages.
In 2025, the city was presented with awards for:
- World’s Leading Seaside Metropolitan Destination, a recognition also received in 2023
- Europe’s Leading Cruise Destination, formerly awarded in 2021, 2023 and 2024
- Europe’s Leading Seaside Metropolitan Destination, previously won in 2023
Unlike many destinations which offer a choice between a city-based break and a coastal or countryside holiday, Dubrovnik’s appeal is that it offers a wide range of potential experiences within a relatively compact space.
The UNESCO-listed Old City is famous for its narrow streets and medieval walls, while beyond the architecture, Dubrovnik also has views over the Adriatic and islands with opportunities for boat trips, swimming and water sports.
Managing Director, Birthe Nielsen, speaking on behalf of the Baltic Travel Company, says, "it was wonderful to see these accolades being presented to Dubrovnik, which has long been one of the destinations in Croatia that gives us the chance to curate holidays that incorporate hand-picked hotels, memorable trips and excursions, and unforgettable experiences for our guests.
From cruises to island hopping, cultural guided trips and multi-country getaways, Dubrovnik can also be combined within one itinerary with other locations like Split, Zagreb and neighbouring countries across the Balkans."
Why Croatia and Dubrovnik Stand Out as Desirable Holiday Locations
Croatia has become considerably more popular with international visitors in recent years, with many making decisions based on being able to visit natural wonders like the Plitvice Lakes National Park, relaxing along quiet coastlines, seeing filming locations for popular series like Game of Thrones, and being able to visit preserved ancient cities, including Dubrovnik and Diocletian’s Palace in Split.
Dubrovnik also offers convenience, with flights from major UK airports typically landing in around three hours, accessible transport options like the cable car up Mount Srđ, and affordability, with Croatia typically seen as offering value for money.
Dubrovnik Airport is also only around 30 minutes from the city’s Old Town, traffic-dependent, meaning guests can arrive quickly and start their holiday without extensive onward travel.
Birthe adds that, "Travellers want more from their holidays, and many have repeated the same trips every summer and are now looking for authentic experiences, different cultures, new cuisines and adventures that don’t solely revolve around spending time on busy beaches or in crowded resorts.
Dubrovnik can become a little livelier in the peak summer period, but it’s also a genuinely charming city set along an idyllic coastline. Guests can scale dramatic cliffs, take taxi boats to nature reserves like Lokrum Island, stroll around the Renaissance-walled living city and also spend days along the beaches and cliff-side restaurants."
Information about the World Travel Awards and other award recipients is available directly through the organisation, while prospective visitors to Dubrovnik and Croatia can find further details about packages and tailored trips from the Baltic Travel Company.

Securing equipment emerges as new variable for Korea's chip expansion plans
Securing equipment for manufacturing advanced memory chips is emerging as a new variable in Korea's plans to expand semiconductor production capacity through large-scale industrial clusters, after ASML, the dominant supplier of advanced chipmaking equipment, warned that its current production plans may not be sufficient to meet demand in 2027 and 2028. During its earnings call Wednesday, ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet said the company's plans to increase its production capacity for advanced chipmaking equipment by 30 percent in 2027 and another 30 percent in 2028 would likely not be enough to meet customer demand. “Last quarter, we talked about 30 percent more capacity next year, and also the aspiration to have another 30 percent increase in 2028,” Fouquet said. “But to be honest, it's becoming very clear that 30 percent in 2027, 30 percent in 2028 will not allow us to meet our customer demand.” According to the company, the planned capacity increases cover both low-numerical-aperture extreme ultraviolet (low-NA EUV) lithography equipment and deep ultraviolet (DUV) immersion system
Musinsa teams up with Japan's ZOZOTOWN for 1st Korean pop-up
Fashion platform Musinsa has teamed up with ZOZOTOWN, one of Japan's leading online fashion retailers, to open a pop-up store in Seongsu-dong, Seoul, a popular destination for young consumers. Musinsa opened the doors to ZOZOTOWN in Musinsa, the Japanese platform’s first official pop-up store in Korea, to the media on Friday. The pop-up will run through Oct. 31, while an accompanying online promotion will continue until Nov. 16. Launched in 2004, ZOZOTOWN features more than 11,000 brands and serving over 13 million customers annually. Fifteen Japanese fashion brands available on the platform, including Snidel and Grancy, are participating in the event. The pop-up’s concept, ZOZO is Coming to Town, draws inspiration from Korean streets. Crosswalks, road markings and oversized three-dimensional typography have been incorporated into the space to create the impression of an intersection where Korean and Japanese fashion meet. The pop-up follows the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the two platforms in December 2024 to establish a strategic partnership. In November last y
