EU membership comes with a lot of baggage these days, but in terms of tourism it could mean a win-win situation for both Croatia and its neighbor nations.

Neighboring countries may also have reason to celebrate. While Croatia became easier for EU members to visit, new barriers now exist for tourists from ever
