While Spain, France, Italy, Germany and Austria top the list of Europeans' favourite holiday destinations, Slovenians still prefer Croatia; 51% plan to spend their vacations there.

The share of Slovenian holiday-makers in Croatia in 2014 will still be relatively low, since last year it went as high as 70%.

In 2013, almost 30% of Slovenians spent their main vacation in the home country, while as much as 42% of all Europeans stayed home.

On the other hand, as much as 84% of Slovenians also went to other EU countries, which is considerably more than the European average of 38%.

The poll also showed over 70% of Europeans travelled overnight in 2013, which amounted to a record of 2.6bn overnight stays in tourism, according to Eurostat.

The Eurobarometer poll was carried out among 26,555 Europeans at the beginning of January.
