One of the main sources of income in Croatia, especially in coastal regions like Dubrovnik - is tourism. Locals keep boarding houses and private hotels, and therefore they are extremely polite with foreigners. On requests, even on the most unexpected or difficult one, they are ready to assist and help you with a smile. However, it does not mean that right away they will start carrying out an assignment.
